Theres really no place to mount an amp to factory panels and have it look good. I would say the only two options are screwed to the box or make an amp rack...

I mounted mine to the box, simply because there is no where else to do it.

on the other hand, constant vibration isnt good for anything.......Try to use some sort of shock absorber on each corner of the amp.

mine is a false floor (in the making) where the rear seat used to be. It wont help you much in your situation.

I would just mount it to the box with some rubber risers on it to isolate the vibration...Most amps wont have a problem as long as the box is braced well, but I have had a few amps have internal parts fall off over time...

just make an amp rack. Takes like 20 mins lol.

Never mount to the box. Rattling an amp with important components inside to power it is never good.
