amp & sub
 

I wanted to get a z enclosure and put one or two subs under that and put an amp on top the the z enclosure box. Now is it a bad idea to put ur amp on top of your subs? just cause so much base gets out and will this effect the amp in any particular way?

I feel like all the vibration cant be good for the amp.

i few guyson here have done it, i'm not a fan, but if your worried just put some rubber gromats under the amp.

what do these rubber gromats do?

They in some ways help remove vibration however with an entire box shaking I can not see small pieces of ruber helping. I would place the amp else where.

they would remove some of the vibration, just like your exhaust hangers do.

where do you guys think is a good place to put amps?

under the seat, if you can fit it, under the rear hatch, (see my pics), Just depends how big or small the amp is.

dang... u literary took ur car apart...

so u dont think its a smart thing to do? put the amp on top of ur subs?

No I do not think it is smart.

Yeah i wanted everything hidden as much as possible. I'm working on another box idea that should hide the 2 -10's and keep the spare.
I'm just not a fan of having the amp out i the open like that, and if you can reduce the vibration on it all the better.

There nothing at all wrong with doing that.. however it does look a bit tacky in my opinion. I'd try to hide the amp.

i had a custom box made to fit right being the bar and for my amp i had it mounted right below it. like if you pick the carpet up youll see a big foam insert there. i had the installers remove it and stick my amp there

I have the 2x10" Upfire Zenclosures box and I have my amp mounted on the rear facing side of the box. Absolutely no problems what-so-ever. Love the look of all of it, and I'm often complimented on the setup. I don't have any pics right now as the grilles are being painted to match the theme of the car, but when I do they'll be uploaded.

I don't see any problem mounting the amp on the box so long as its firmly mounted..?? :ugh2:
