Default Amplifier mounting road glide

Looking on suggestions for a bracket or mounting idea for the JL audio amp ?

I've used these for a number of applications- use the existing holes for screws, and or drill what you need. robust, yet easy to bend to 90ş using a vice as a brake.

3" x 7"

you can use 1 wide ways using both radio screws,
or go 2 lengthways each using a radio screw with a third used to tie them together at the back.

cost $1.17 each

I'm cheep- this appeals to me., I hope that the metal helps as heat sink and as RF shielding. easy to run another ground wire.

some guys use 3M duolock which is like velcro for gorillas- I use this alot at work- the adhesive can be affected by heat and moisture...good for mocking up and temp installs. I often find that the adhesive pulls apart before the 2 pieces of duolock pull apart.
