 cheers Mick

personally i wouldn't because their is a high chance of all the components in the amps vibrating lose, and then your amp wont work, happened to a mate

you could mount it on the carpet right next too the sub, have you already fix the sub down?

oh ok, i had same probelm wit subs facing back seat, turn the sub around so the face of the sub is facing the boot, i did it and i reckon it made the bass sound heaps better deeper,

only problems i've seen with amps mounted directly to the sub box have been from poor quality amps

All good ideas here. I wouldn't have a problem putting it on the box but the back of the seat is better.
As for turning the sub around - I really don't think that's going to make it sound less 'muffled'... The seat in front should actually make very little difference to the bass - otherwise how would people with subs in the boot hear them? It will only muffle higher frequencies which your sub shouldn't be making anyway.

I had my amp mounted on my box for over a year in my old car and had no probs, sound quality was decent too. I've done the same on my current car and it's been fine.

more about acoustics... you'll find even a competition stereo will sound different in the cabin with the seats folded down. depending on the sub & setup it can either work for or against you.
always better off without something against the face of it though, specially if it's an unported box.

i don't think it would really matter where u mount ur amps in the boot there still gonna get vibration. I've always mounted mine on the back or side of the box never had any problems.

You would think so, but the sub is right up against the back of seat no room. maximus wrote: As for turning the sub around - I really don't think that's going to make it sound less 'muffled'... The seat in front should actually make very little difference to the bass - otherwise how would people with subs in the boot hear them? The back of the seat is basicly right up against the sub face (not a perfect seal) and it makes a difference, and for the sub in boot thing the bass(sound waves) bounces around in the boot, but when the seat is againts it the "sound waves" cant go far. needfordspeed wrote: I had my amp mounted on my box for over a year in my old car and had no probs, sound quality was decent too. I've done the same on my current car and it's been fine. Awesome ill just keep it how it is then and if my amp dies then ill buy a bigger one and hook the speakers on to it aswell. low_ryda wrote: more about acoustics... you'll find even a competition stereo will sound different in the cabin with the seats folded down. depending on the sub & setup it can either work for or against you. always better off without something against the face of it though, specially if it's an unported box. Would a drill hole or two "port" the box:) just to let some presure out is that how it works, Ive got SB12XB 12" SINGLE VOICE COIL SUBWOOFER $50 2-Channel Bridgeable Amplifier GM-3300T $90 and the DEH-P7950UB pioneer head unit cant remember but it was on sale around $350 a while ago.

There would be a fair different level of vibration getting to amp's internals if it was say mounted in boot on the side compared to on the box its self. Thanks for your help, comments, suggestions, advice guys, but as stated earlier i shall keep my set up the way it is untill either A) the amp dies or B) i get a new car. Regards, Mick
