What can damage a subwoofer?

Can you put an amplifier on top of a speaker?
You should be fine. As long as either one of your subs is large enough to physically accommodate the amp properly. The weight damping on the Sub from the amp should minimize any large or even micro vibration effects on either unit’s electronics.
Where is the best place to place a subwoofer?
A subwoofer placed in the corner of a room may increase the subwoofer’s output – causing the sub to sound louder. Try placing your subwoofer in a corner and see how it sounds. However, depending on your floor space, a corner might not be a viable option for your subwoofer if it’s too far from your listening area.

Why is my subwoofer crackling?
Speaker crackling is almost always caused by a connection problem. Someplace between your amplifier and your speaker driver, there’s a bad wire which is causing the driver to move abruptly, causing interference.
Do subs get hot?

Is your amp supposed to be hot?
It’s quite normal for the heat of an amplifier or preamp to increase, especially when it is used at a high volume of gain settings. Nevertheless, if the amp becomes particularly hot, this is probably a sign that one of its components has malfunctioned, and requires attention.
How hot can amplifiers get?
An amplifier is considered too hot if its temperature is above 160F (or 71.111°C). At this point, most amplifier’s thermal protection relay will trip and shut the amp off. Also, if the amp is too hot to touch, it is considered too hot.
Can I put my amplifier on top of my subwoofer?
It is always advised not to put a receiver on top of a subwoofer. Because of the extreme vibrations the subwoofer produces, it may cause vibration fatigue, damaging any objects on top of the subwoofer, especially one like a receiver.
Is it OK to stack amplifiers?
The amplifier needs to be able to radiate any heat it generates whilst it’s in use so placing devices on top of isn’t something we’d encourage.However as the amplifier is usually the heaviest component in most systems, this can limit the amount of equipment that should be placed under an amp in a stack.
Can I stack amplifiers?

Why do Subs face backwards?
Facing the Rear Seat – Towards the Front of the Car

How do you remove carpet from a sub box?
Try a hot air gun on a seam, with a thin taping knife to get underneath. If it starts coming away, continue. If it makes no difference, then you’re going to either be cutting it off with a knife, or breaking the box down so you can use it to make templates for a new box that you build yourself.
