yes you can mount the amp to the box. or if you can mount a board to the back of the seat, then mount the amp to that, also works.

i heard the vibration from the box will ruin the inside of the amp..is this at all true?

yeah, i dont think you should worry, I have had lots of amps on lots of boxes and never had a problem. Maybe if you box is flexing and you are running like 2k+rms then it might be a problem but anything other than that should be ok

the vibration thing, i don't believe in that. i have 2 1550ds mounted to the back of my enclosure. nothing so far. actually i've had all my amps mounted to the box except for 1 setup.

i doubt that if your box is built well vibrations will not be a problwm but IMO if you mount an amp on the box its just like a package deal for a thief so i mount mine behind my box ... in the trunk but i have 3/4 MDF lining my trunk floor, i also mount my sub box from the inside with bolts

if your enclosure is flexing, then mounting the amp on the enclosure is not a good idea.

Regardless, I would put some type of matting behind the amp
