So, there’s a case against putting speakers on your sub box. Some people think the sounds hurt the insides. But I always see people putting their amps on top of their boxes. So I want to know what you think.

Guys who had systems in the 1990s still don’t see a problem with it. My amplifiers are fixed on 1.5" of solid wood on the back of my sub box.Most likely the part of the car that shakes the least.

Some driven subwoofers have amplifiers built in. The makers don’t see a problem with it.

I’ve never heard of anyone having a problem with it or someone writing that it did happen. I’ve also never seen a box vibrate like crazy, either for car music or the ex-wife’s tail.

If you’re scared, put a rubber mat and rubber nuts between the box and the amp.

Do you think it’s necessary?

It took me more than five years to get a new amp, and one of them has died in the last couple of years. I never put anything under them. Most likely, it’s hit or miss, like everything else.

Even if I didn’t have a premium of room, I probably would have done it anyway. This idea has been around since the early 1990s, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone having a bad experience with it. That doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t happen, though.

Personally I feel like your sub box SHOULD be the most stable flat surface in the trunk. I vote that you just make sure the screws you use aren’t too long.

It’s the most stable, but keep in mind that the box has resonance, which will make the vibrations stronger as your sub plays. It might be strong all the time, but when it plays 30–40 Hz, it feels stronger than a Hitachi.
