RE: new sub enclosure
^Your amplifier isn't even hooked up so that doesn't count^ 
Most HT enclosures are built 10 fold what alot of car ones are, lots lots lots of bracing. The amplifiers are mounted with what 12-20 screws along with a soft, sealing,dampeningmaterial around where it mounts to the enclosure, plus they don't have the additional movement/vibrations of being in a constantly moving environment.
Im not totally **** about mounting an amplifier to a box. There are just a few small reasons I stay away from it when I can.
-Preventative maintenance (safe than sorry)
-No un-necessary holes in your enclosure
-3 snips and your wntire system is gone
-And the obvious and it doesn't mater how you look at it it still gets more vibrations mounted to the box, you can't argue that, just your opinion on the potential effects of those vibrations.
Let's not forget you have a NINe.1 too, thats 90% you have no problems either

Wait, you are telling me that solder isn't better then my 24k gold but connectors??? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
3 years isn't long enough for the amp to fall off. Give youself a couple decades a loose screw, and a dancing amp, and sooner or later that screw is coming out.
After 6 years in my car, an amp mounted to a steel seat frame decided one day it wanted to come loose. It made a ton of racket and could have damaged my amp. Good thing I'll only have the car for a couple more years, The vibrations destroyed the screw hole bad enough to drive me to use an oversized screw...

a couple of decades real are you serious? I dare you to find a link to the pics and story of the amp that fell off of the box after a decade or two........ double dog.......... Are we forgetting that all car audio is designed to put up with the car environment which could not be any worse for electronics. The vibrations, bumps and shocks from normal driving, along with the extreme temp changes, dust, humidity and condensation taken into account and you have a place that could not be more wrong for electronics.
I think we are all arguing the same point. It is less then ideal however I will personally tell you that it is not going to spontaniously combust and take you and the car with it, at least not for the first 15 yrs. When avoided it should be but if you are really going to argue that there is any piece of car audio gear that is not made and designed to absorbe vibrations, bumps and shocks then I will tell you one piece of gear to never buy.

now you are just arguing to argue. Did you finish my post?
"When avoided it should be but if you are really going to argue that there is any piece of car audio gear that is not made and designed to absorbe vibrations, bumps and shocks then I will tell you one piece of gear to never buy. "
I stand by that sentence that I wrote, as well as the one your wrote as they say the exact same thing.
breath in, breath out, and stop arguing man. Is it time for you to take a breather from here?

I would argue on that. Alot of stuff out there is made to look fancy and sell sell sell. Not every company spends their money in a solid design. Unfortunatly.

Me and disturbed have had problems so we will be even less likely to do it again in the future.
