how to mount amp?

[Accord_exR]

well i tried to mount it to the back seat but the screws dont hold very well.. should i use larger screws?

You could, the sheetmetal is thin. Use a self-tapper made for sheetmetal, that's what I would do. Using a nut and bolt with washers is not really an option....

Just use sheetrock screws. That's what I did. I plan to mount it to my box in the future.

care to explain how this is a "half ass way to do it" i dont see why there is a need for plywood. attached is a pic of my 4channel on the back of the seat, i cant find the pic with both my amps on there, ill have to take another one, but i thought my amp mounting was pretty decent

your amp mounting does look pretty decent. i guess i envisioned something like this in my head:







interestingly enough, the original thread poster ended up with some amp issues:

Thats the fast way to kill an amp. The vibrations from the box will go straight to the amp and rattle everything. People are still doing it but its not advisable if your box is not well built. I have an amp mounted to the box and I only did that because I dont have space on the back seat and my box is VERY well built out of 3/4" MDF and is braced to death.
