Well im back in the truck as of tomorrow for the winter. I've got some conflict going as far as amp placement. I had the amp located behind the seat mounted on the cab just below the sliding window, two full range boxs on each side. Now some of my friends are telling me that I should not place it there because it can and will get damaged from vibration. I can see that happening. Some say nothing will happen. What to do??? What to do???
Thanks.

One more thing. If I were to leave the amp where it was before, what about a thick rubber pad behind it to absorb some vibrations? Would it help?

85 Camaro, 355/400 "drag car" in moth ***** 13.1@ 101mph on its last season run.
Plans: Possibly add N20 for next season.
82 Firebird, 305/350 currently being moth balled.
Current plans: Rebuild 305 with flat tops instead of the dished "cups" for pistons or slightly built 327 with the 58cc heads from the LG4, Upgrade the 2:73 to 3:73 or 3:42 and replace the turbo 350 with 700r4.

i have never heard of the vibrations hurting the amp, hell, how many people mount their amps on the back of their sub boxes?
i wouldnt worry about it.

Thanks for the reply
I kept having that pop into my head. I guess I'll just leave it where it origanly was and place a thick rubber pad under it just to be safe.
Thanks again!

I have heard that mounting an amp to bare metal can cause noise, but if it doesn't make any noise, and your window doesn't leak water on it, I'd say leave it there.
