Nice start on the amp box.
What model Mc are you getting? I've never heard of the 4000.

I put the MC440M in a few months back and really like it.
Its a clean beast that is efficient and can be pushed to ear bleeding levels and still remain very clean and transparent.

Edit: Just realized the one you're talking about. Now I really have to hate you!
I tried to buy one before the one I have now, but got outbid.
That thing is the best mobile amp they ever built and enough power to fricken weld with if needed.

SWEET! Looking Good! What are you thinking for a sub-box? This would look great carpeted with a plexiglass panel. These are very hard to track down (trust me) in perfect shape with no issues.
Heres a link to how big these really are.
