amp location

does anyone have any idea or pictures showing where i can put my amp. under the seats wont work its a little to big and i only think i can screw it onto the box.

Theres really no place to mount an amp to factory panels and have it look good. I would say the only two options are screwed to the box or make an amp rack...

is there room behind any of the panels that you could hide it?

just drill it to the back because i heard its better if the amp is closer to thesubs

I mounted mine to the box, simply because there is no where else to do it.

on the other hand, constant vibration isnt good for anything.......Try to use some sort of shock absorber on each corner of the amp.

whould anyone have pics of what there amp rack looks like?

mine is a false floor (in the making) where the rear seat used to be. It wont help you much in your situation.

I would just mount it to the box with some rubber risers on it to isolate the vibration...Most amps wont have a problem as long as the box is braced well, but I have had a few amps have internal parts fall off over time...

just make an amp rack. Takes like 20 mins lol.

Never mount to the box. Rattling an amp with important components inside to power it is never good.

You'll get into a pretty long debate on the subject of mounting an amp to a box. Car Audio guys have argued this method forever. I wouldnt say "never" mount an amp to the box. But if you can build an amp rack or find another location it would be better. If you do mount the amp to the box try not to mount it to the largest flat plane on the box. Wood will flew a bit and its better to keep it on a smaller well-braced side of the enclosure...
 
I have only had 2-3 out of hundreds of amps come back to me that have failed due to vibration. And they were all either very low end or very old amps...

mainly its all gonna come down to amp quality.

If your running a standard amp compaired to a higher quality one. the lower one will more than likely fail.

i agree on the possibility of debate on mounting an amp to the box.  I always have, even with my larger systems, and still have never had a problem.  but you never know.
