Yep I agree, if you can mount it to the sub box id mount it there.

but a tip. dont drill the holes right through other wise if you change amps. you will have holes there for the air to escape. it will sound dodgy.

Thats nothing a couple of plugs wont fix

ive heard that the bass can wreck a sub if it's right in front or mounted to the box as it rattles component's loose or something correct if ive been told a porky as i had the same idea of mounting it to the box

mounting to the enclosure will reduce the life of the amp. the excessive vibration will increase the risk of components failing.

also it makes it MUCH more easy to nick it all. kinda like 2 for the effort of one really.......
but if it keeps the thieves away from my car then go for it! j/k.
