Mount my amp on top of sub enclosure?

Is it ok to mount my amp, on top of my sub enclosure? I want to use small screws that will not go through the box to mount it. I am running out of room in mt trunk. :)

I read that whole thing at. {http://www.bcae1.com/amplfier.htm} Thank you Great info.. I really do not have a choice I have no more room :{ My sub box is really well braced, So I think it will be ok. this is the box I am using.

I just installed my system and mounted the amp on the box. I also needed the trunk space, plus its only a temporary amp, and I have a very solid box. I think that most amps today should be able to hadle the vibrations.

No matter how well built that box is, the amp will take a pounding when those subs are hitting.  Look at the space you want the amp to occupy, and figure out how to get an isolated shelf in there to connect the amp to.  If there is no way but to use the box as the support, isolate the mounting shelf with springs.  The spring feet would be screwed directly to the box, and then the support shelf will be screwed to the spring feet, so that there is no screw or bolt directly contacting both the sub box and the amp support shelf.  The amp would then be screwed to the shelf.  You will get a vibration-free amp this way.Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I already mounted my amp on the sub box, although i will be getting a new amp sometime. When I get my new amp what should i do about the screwholes in the box?

Put screws back in them.  Paint the flat head type wood screws to match the cabinet carpet, and the carpet pile should hide them pretty well.Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
