First one is fine.

I use the second method with my SVT. But im not using normal washers, im using thick rubber tap washers to give it a little bit of suspension against bounces

i'll be using normal washers. I guess I will go for the first one.

+1 for rubber washers. I'm using silicone ones in my rack.

Yes, I know it sounds wrong, so hush.

Plastic are fine. They are just to prevent the front of your amp from getting scratched up by the screws, so no big deal.

When I used a rack to mount my amp, I went screw.washer.amp.washer.rack because I had other stuff in the rack and thought it would help isolate everything and prevent ground loops, sort of like a cheap version of those Humfrees. It worked, too. Never got a ground loop. But if the only thing in your rack is an amp, it shouldn't be an issue.

I actually have a tuner and power conditioner.

Power amp: screw, washer, amp, rack.
Everything else: screw, washer, humfree wrapped around item, rack.
