Just a note: this question doesn't make good sense to me. Amber's
implicit solvent routines do not impose periodic boundaries at all, and don't
have a box shape. If fact, you are not allowed to set igb>0 and ntb>0 at the
same time.

If you meant "explicit solvent" rather than "implict solvent", then Ross'
answer provides good advice.
