Hello, new Outlaw 7100 owner here:

I have a somewhat tight and tricky setup for my audio equipment. The home theater "rack" is a Basset Furniture low wooden hutch with break front doors. The TV monitor on the top and the audio components are inside. This is placed in the corner of the room, and shuts up very nicely when the equipment is not in use.

The sub woofer is a 12" self-powered AR unit behind the hutch and is corner loaded so the walls enhance the bass. However, it did take a bit of tweaking of the levels and the crossovers so the bass was not boomy and overpowering.

Anyway, because of space restrictions inside the hutch and the attendant heat concerns, I would like to place the 7100 amplifier outside the hutch. However, behind the hutch, the only room is on top of the powered subwoofer.

Do you think there is any problem placing the amp on top of a sub woofer cube? I think vibration would be the amp's enemy, but after pondering it for a while, the amplifier that powers the subwoofer has been dealing with the earth shattering bass for 5 years now with no problems. Besides, there are no moving parts in an amp, so is vibration really a problem? Any other creative placement ideas out there?

Thanks, Dan Becker
