My New boot build!
Is it okay to mount the amps ontop of the subwoofer enclosure?
I always wondered if the vibrations could damage the amp.

I had mine mounted on my box for a while and Bassjunkies mounted my girlfriends amp on her enclosure too and they are supposed to be professionals. Neither of us have had problems. Saying that though I have heard it suggested that they should be mounted elsewhere which is why mine is now mounted on the floor.
As for the boot build, looks rather tidy, and love your style, just forget about practicallity and go for the noise

Where can you fit a battery.
Looking good Rukko...would be interested to hear your system!
thanks for the responses guys!
Its no where near finished it needs trimming and a proper amp rack building but it sounds good which is all that matters really :devil:
I can mount a battery behind the sub box quite easily vol so no worries on that front

So do you think if you mount the amps on the back of the seats or elsewhere vibrations will suddenly go? lol
Are they vibe ports? Id paint them black if it was me. Looks good though

yup there vibe turbo ports bought them off a chap on talk audio, its tuned to about 38hz, box maybe slightly big im thinking, its about 3.4 cubes lol.
Plan is to trim it in a blue leather effect material same color as the motor
I'm going to build a proper amp rack and put a couple of shiny new hifonics amps in but i'll need to sort a split charger system out for that I think

The main focus of energy will be on the enclosure so by bringing the amps away from the box i.e rear seats will vastly reduce the kinetic forces on them.
Many people have mounted amps on enclosures without a problem but you can reduce the chances of damage by thickening the enclosure walls.
I been on holiday the last couple of weeks so im completely stripped out ATM, i just about to pay for a new HU, i have used 6 sheets of deadening and am about to start a further 3 sheets.
I picked up the new sub and amp on the way back from the Airport yesterday and im working on what sort of enclosure to use, im going to knock up a couple of enclosures to try out which is best but i think i may have one made professionally for the final install.
I still cant decide what i want to do about the front end, i have tried to solder the tinsel lead on my mid but havnt been able to test it yet but i am doubtful as to whether it will work or not
Going 3 way active is proving to be an arduous task, i have offered my DLS A7 for a swap so i can get a little more power into the mid and tweet and i have been offered some very nice amps but nothing can match the X-over and RCA sharing features of the A7. :bang:

Ooo yeah matey the A7 is tough to beat
Since I've ported my box im not going to get a more powerful amp, Its more than loud enough now lol
I'm thinking of getting the 4 channel iPaul and run just a normal set of rainbow comps off them, dont think I have the money for the 3ways i wanted seeing as I've just a bought a house :slayer:
