bolting amp onto sub box, good.. bad?

so I was curious... I've seen that a few people have bolted on their amp to their sub box. Is there anything
wrong with doing this? Will it damage the amp, make more noise, etc? I was reading the manual for an amp
I just got rid of and it specifically said NOT to do this. Thoughts on this?

cool, thanks guys. If I do decide to do that... I'll be happy knowing that it's fine. Still haven't figured out
where I want to place my amps in the trunk... there's not too many convenient spots in there without losing
usable space.

ok, i kinda agree with everyone here. nothing wrong or bad with putting amps on the sub-box. i did that with the first system i bought...must have been like 7 years ago now, and nothing bad happened. never did it again tho. not as 'clean' looking. i have a suggestion. do you use your pass-thru behind the back seat? if not, you could simply mount a board to the trunk-side of this opening with your amps facing the cab. you will prob have to give yourself a little depth to make sure the amps dont hit the back of the seats. i did not want to close this pass-thru off with mdf or another wood board due to the fact that it might limit air circulation, so i mounted black plasting "chicken-wire" mesh to the opening with strong zip-ties (nice and taut) and mounted the amps to this also using zip ties. NO DRILLING! and i like CLEAN, and it is clean. looks snazzy and my amps are not on the box. i wish i had a digicam so i could show it off, but i could borrow one. any questions my emails perfikt@bellsouth.net later
