OK to place amp on top of subwoofer?


I would like to place my classe CA-100 amp on top of my large Velodyne HGS-18 sub to save space. Will the vibrations harm the amp? Also, will the amp pick up unwanted noise from the sub? Thanks!

YAUD (yet another useful discussion)! After reading your input, I realized that though my sub crossover/amp is separate from the speaker cabinet, I have had it sitting on top of the speaker with just hard rubber feet. I happened to have two sets of Vibrapods in a drawer, so I put all eight under the amp. Immediate improvement in bass definition (either that or my imagination is getting carried away). Thanks all!
just put a piece of foam under the amp and dont worry about it. i have done it several times. you will not hear any difference in sound and the foam will absorb any vibration. some of these people on here know just a little to much. enjoy
10-4 Sean. Good take Danner, and I agree if it has to be done, using a de-coupling approach would probably be best, ie the Vibrapods. There is a good reason Steve McCormack put 6 large Sorbothane-like feet on his 90 lb. DNA2 amp. Cheers, Craig
