Sure, what model amp do you have?

*EDIT* just looked at my price sheet and they dont list them by models, so it looks they are all the same, but just in case, let em know what model amps you have.

I have a ZX650.4 & ZX700.5, physically i believe they're the exact same size?

There was a subtle redesign to the line for the 08 model year that allowed the incorporation of endcaps. The endcaps do not fit the 06/07 amps. That being said, you might find that you can do a slight mod to get them to go, but it is not a bolt-on fit.

Thanks guys, I think i'm going to re-think the rack install anyway and move them to a horizontal attitude in the same locale. I wanted the covers to cover the bottoms to protect the wiring. But rearranging them solves the problem, i'll just cut a new rack mount.

The beauty of using the material i'm using, Alucobond, is that it's extremely light, strong & rigid, only an 1/4" thick, easy to cut with a jig saw and totally impervious to water, so i'll just cut another and relocate!

Thanks for the info Phil, with out having them side by side, I would have sworn that they were the same!

Razz, since the material is only 1/4" think, do the amps flush-mount with the wall. Cut a window just big enough for the face of the amps to fit in, then the ends and wires will be behind the wall.

I was thinking somewhere along those lines earlier but was concerned with cooling. Thoughts?

As long as the amps aren't mounted directly to a carpeted wall, and the new face board is open a little at the top and maybe a little clearance at the bottom, I dont think you will have any issues with overheating.

Where do you get alucobond

XP, i grabbed some pieces of it from a jobsite that were leftovers and slated for the rubbish bin. I can't tell who would actually have it as it's generally ordered on a per job basis.

One place I do know of that carries it is Elward Systems Corp, that's where we have our systems made. I can't say whether they'd sell any but maybe or they can tell you who could possibly.
