Ha guys my 1K Alpine amp is mounted to my sub box in the middle of the cab between the 2 10" Kenwoods.
So today Im driving and jamming out on some heavy hitting bass and reach back and touch the amp not only does the thing put out some heat but the vibration on the amp from the bass is pretty severe will this crack the circuit board or make any problems ???

 

i have my amp mounted on my box but i have them separated with some pretty thick foam...no problems and its been more than a year

 

So why foam for the vibration ?

 

so the vibraton from the box doesnt directly touch my amp. i dunno, it seems to help and like ive said, i havent had any problems so far...and i run that thing hard

 

sounds like a plan or some rubber bushings under the mounting screws thanks...

 

It is never a good idea to mount the amp directly to the box. The vibration will eventually wear out the internals on the amp.

 

it really depends how much the box flexes where your gonna mount it, it couldn't be too much worse than the vibrations an amp would see mounted to the sheet metal, youd be supprised how much vibration there is in a vehicle when your not isolated my a comfy seat

 

Hey ********, he said it vibrates a lot...

 

what doesnt in a car? Im suprissed they can actueally get cd's to play

 

touche. Ya you got a point.

But still... A different mount is by far the better option. Agreed?

 

I'd be more worried about the box flex hurting sub performance

 

Hows the truck coming along? (ya I know thread jacking)

 

its not, i'm out of money

 

lol. Whatever happened with those 4 8's? And I heard talk of a blowthrough... What are your plans?

 

eventually Im gonna ditch the 8's, I can only get 131db out of them with 1800 watts, i'm thinking 4 12's in a 4th order bandpass with the same power
