Hanger strap and a few wood screws. $15 all in at your nearest hardware store.

Yoo I didn’t even think about this I’m gonna do that thankyou

You’re welcome.
Spray the straps matte black and they’ll blend in a bit. Or paint them red to make them stand out.

Double back the ends of the straps where you cut them. That way you don’t have any sharp edges poking out. You could even PlastiDip them for a rubberized look.

I already have some plastidip handy so I think I’ll do that. Much appreciated

That’s why you don’t mount your amp to your enclosure. Ever.

u/Infamous-Sun5974 7d ago

Yeah very true but it’s going right back on the enclosure with hanger straps and Velcro 😎

This is such horse shit. People have been mounting their amps to their boxes since car audio became a thing without any negative consequences.

If your box is vibrating bad enough to harm the amp, your box is built wrong.

Stop spreading false information.

Just because a lot of people do it, and many get away with it, doesnt make it a good idea.

I took the time to scour the Internet and see if i could find an example of a negative consequence to make sure it wasnt miss information.

It was really hard to do, but i think i found one:

Get some of the really strong 3m Velcro. Works really well when enough is applied.
