    New Amp Rack - AGAIN!!!

    So after 2 tries w/ mdf and resin, 1 resulting in failure after a year, the other destroyed by thieves, I built another amp rack. This time I used marine plywood, as well as coated the pieces that may come in contact with water with a waterproofing... so we'll see how it holds up. My other racks have been semi-complicated with fiberglass, vinyl wrapped, etc. etc. The fiberglass one was destroyed by thieves, the last one looked great but required disassembly of the rack to adjust anything on the amps or to pull any fuses. So went w/ the KISS method on this one. Here's some pics. Unfortunately there are 3 splices. 1 is so I can quickly access the distrobution/fuse block underneath the faceboard and one of the amps. The second on the bottom was so that I could make the suckers fit through the door. My goal was to go floor to ceiling, amp rack to hide as much of the wires as possible! The only wiring showing are the damn wires coming out of the head-unit and the wires coming into the amps. Wish there was an end cap for these amps

    There are blue LEDS on the bottom of the amps that give a faint mood lighting, which I'll try and get some pics of one night

    Unfortunately my little cousin tore up the face plates of 2 of my amps while in storage for the winter. So I owe him a little a$$ whipping. But a buddy is going to black chrome them during winter for me for a unique look!

    And yes, the wires are all zip-tied together now! LOL

    Here was my sub install I did! Basically typed the 15" solo-baric on a diamond and made the port to follow the lines of the sub! Unfortunately I couldn't make the "fake port" line up the exact same as the real port, so my original concept got kind of messed up. When I have time over the summer, I plan to attempt the box again, and get the faceboard to match perfectly. The sub appears like it's not totally square in the pics, but it is... just was standing at ackward angle. I should have taken the pic when I had the seat out

    Forgive the crappy pic quality.

      This was the original amp rack minus it's faceboard. There was a carpeted faceboard that essentially picture framed the entire amp rack. If you can picture that in your head. It overlapped the vinyl 4-5 inches in on each side.... thus all the screw holes in the vinyl ...lol. Wish I had gotten a pic w/ the amp rack all together, as it showed really well, unlike this pic.
