Did anybody mention mounting the box to the chasis?? That will significally cut down on box rattle. Otherwise, the best place for an amp, is not in your car! As previously said, if its in your car, its going to rattle, if an amp cant take it, buy a new brand, period.

Uh huh... *thinking*

Well, I think MTX has my back. They are reliable. But we'll see what happens! As for the box to chassis, I'm not sure. I have never heard about it reducing vibration. I just know that if I bolt my box to my chassis, it won't get stolen! Haha! Well, if it cuts down on it, then I guess its just gonna be another bonus to bolting my box in.

Before I installed the amps, I thought about it. And to figure, the amp would probably suffer from LESS vibration if it was'nt bolted down. Just let it sit in there, although it would slide on a sharp turn. But I bet thats probably the ultimate killer for vibration transferring to the amp.

Who knows...

A box that can move is a killer of SPL. The full force of the woofer is diminished (for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction). Rattling isn't the issue as far as bolting the box down goes, as it will still transfer energy into the sheet metal either way: by direct transfer from the box or by the sound waves, and the metal will transfer it back directly. So yes, bolting the box securely is standard procedure.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Haha, no Stevdart. I was'nt talking about my box. I was talking about my amps being bolted. Unless I'm not catching what your saying?

I'm not worried about the box one bit, except its going to be bolted haha. I have some problems that I face although. I need to fing a good location and get a hole through the cab. Freakin' Mazda's and their double wall sheet metal!

Do you think 2, 1" round nylon bolts will be good enough?
