.i already mounted the transformer before i red your reply, but anyway, take a look at my setup, please refer to the image i uploaded below, the arrows in yellow are tire interior rubber, i shape them and cut, the purple arrow is the metal plate, i will enclose the transformer on a atx power supply casing. should i change the top rubber(behind the metal plate) with the same size on the bottom? any corrections, suggestions, and improvements based on my work? i really appreciate it.
hmm when putting jb weld , shoud the transformer bare? or just epoxy the plastic covering to the aluminum foil?If You don't want it to be permanent,
put a piece of Aluminum-Foil on a flat, hard, surface,
and then J-B-Weld the Transformer to the Aluminum-Foil.
After it hardens, tear-off the excess Aluminum-Foil around the edges.
This will help to protect the Transformer-Windings from damage or abrasion,
and will improve Heat-transfer to the Aluminum-Box at the same time.
You can do this to the top-side of the Transformer too,
if You want to add additional protection for the Windings.
If your Transformer routinely runs very Hot,
you can then add a small piece of Aluminum on the top as well,
instead of using the Rubber and Steel Washers that were supplied with the Transformer.
Aluminum transfers Heat much better than Steel.

I would never go the J-B Weld route. There is a reason the manufacturers use rubber and not one or no one else has ever used J-B weld. You say the transformer came from an amplifier, how was it mounted? Bet there was no J-B weld involved.hmm when putting jb weld ,
Then why not do it in what ever cabinet you use? Your worrying about heat is not a worry at all.it was mounted with the rubber pad and steel washer, so with the bolt and nut, it was mounted on a wooden speaker
