Fastening Amp to Sub Enclosure

[selyaT]

Hey team.

Suppose I choose to mount my Amplifier on the Sub Enclosure... will the contant beating and vibration damage the circuits etc inside?

I know people do it, but this thought just struck me.

Cheers guys

on an mdf box i dont see y not.

ive done it few yearz back in my landcru23r... screwed it on top of my 2x10" weconic sub box and it had no obvious negative effect on the amp?!

in fact.. since im dead broke and i cant afford a new amp at the moment, i unscrewed the amp from my old subs and now its powering the lil kicker solobaric in my corolla :)

and the amp isnt even screwed in anywhere in particular.

its leaning up against the back of my backseats in the boot.. the anchorstrap from my babyseat is basically keeping the amp vertical along with nonslip mat underneith 2 keep it in place. bootspace is very important 4my situation so yea...

no problems with it yet!

as long as theres enough area for the amp 2 sit on i say go 4 it.

is it ported or sealed box by the way?

if its sealed, then i would probebly go against using screws that are long enough 2 penetrate all the way through the MDF... since ud wanna keep it airtight and if you were to remove the amp then ull be left with an UNsealed sub box

Thanks JJ, very insightful brother. I guess the carpet would act like insulation too... but in this case, out-sulation :P

It's a sealed one, and yeah that did cross my mind. I was going to use little short self-tapping screws, hopefully they would get through the carpet but not too deep into the MDF.

However, I just found a CR in my netbank statement that is the exact amount I paid for the enclosure, apparently the idot eBay person's account info was wrong... I'm checking it out now At least I've got the money back... but it's a $2.50 bank fee <_<

its not such a big problem dude. i know many people who have did this and i dun think any of them have had problems. but if u can mount it somewhere else and securely, it would be sweeter as you dun gotta worry about anything. good luck with it man.
