That sub box moves a lot more then you think.

I'd make sure those screws holding the amp are nice and tight. When the vibrations of the box and amp slowly cause the screws to eat away the MDF and your box has holes in it, you will wish you didn't mount the amp to the box.

Also, that makes it way to easy to a theif to steal and I have never seen anyone with a decent system mounting the amps to the sub box.

 

Those are both very good points, PReal. I'll talk to the guy who made it and see whats up. luckydawg i sent you a PM.

 

Eventually that MDF will give way to the stronger steal and the amp will be loose. It is just a matter of time.

 

Your still an idiot. Thats like saying, well the heat that is on the cupboard above your stove is just as hot as the burner. The box moves, if you have ever had a decent system you can look at the box and see it flex. That is far more vibration than your amp would ever see mounted to say a board mounted to your seat. My single 15" Tempest setup had plenty of bracing and the back center of the box flexed atleast 1/4", probably closer to 1/2".

 

Usually I don't reply to many of these threads, but goddam I cannot stand seeing you post in this section anymore. I don't think you are qualified to work at McDonalds nevertheless a stereo installation center. You have asked how to build a box for who knows how long now, are you just too damn lazy to take a tape measure to your car??? Or to just go somewhere and have them build you a custom box??? But then in one thread you say you are a stereo installer, give me a break! And I would slap any stereo installer that tried to mount my amp onto my sub box. That is something you DO NOT DO! You are definite proof that you just cannot fix stupid...

 

looks like this oneis solved.

lucky just like u said you DOUBT it want hurt the amp. I have no doubt that it WILL hurt the amp. All your info is based on what you think you know and what you think you know is all WRONG.

P.S - like i said IM ALWAYS RIGHT!!

 

As far as "unmounting" the amp, can I just take it off the box and do something else with it? Or do these guys usually drill all the way through and I'd have to seal it with something? Any suggestions for what to do with the amp thats simple would be appreciated

 

^^ all depends on the installer ive seen some use 1/2 inch ive seen some use up to 1 1/2" screws. What size mdf is yours? im 99% sure they have been sunk into the box. Just seal the holes and enjoy. be careful when backing the screws out.

 

I have installed countless systems, and done many with the amp on the back of the box. It is not my favorite place for a couple of reasons but sometimes the install dictates it for any number of reasons. If you can avoid it then you should do so but to make it sound as if you do it the amp will catch fire and take the vehicle with it it stupid. I was able to avoid it with my setup but we are not all dealing diamond audio and have the experience I have, sometimes you have to make it work.

 

look,and amp on the back of an enclosure [:'(]........3 years and still POUNDING



also ,most HT subs not only have the amp inside the enclosure but nothing even covering the electronics
A plate amp is fully exposed to the HT subs OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE IT


some of youhave been reading too many audio forums ,the kind that suggest
that even soldering an audio wire will distort and ruin the SQ of your system if its not
