I have been working on this for about two months now and I have run out of ideas. Here is a link to my website with pictures of the amp box in the car.

the amp box

My question is what would be the best way to attach the box to the car. I am trying to stay away from dropping the gas tank and welding to the car, but if I have to then I can do that. Any ideas would be great at this point. Thanks.

For the bottom I'd go with flat home depot L brackets used for shelves. Also utility brackets. If they can hold 50lbs on a self they can definetley hold the box (the load is different in your case it is a lateral support application). Use 2 (they are $2 a piece).

nathan_454 - nice drawing.
