Mount the amp where you can see it...mount the sub box where you can't!
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Indeed, mounting seperate from the "box" is the preferred method.

Whoever told you that is wrong.  Mounting your amp on the enclosure is one way to create premature failure of the amp.
