Default Amp mounting idea
I was on ICIX and saw the Project 350Z thread and thought this looked cool,




although seeing the daylight pictures, if I did this it would be without the fans on top..

OR should I just keep going and have it set-up to see the top of the amps

Call me crazy, but I like seeing the amp's guts.

And I like the fans, too.

I like it. Do you just cut a piece of plexi to act as the new top then? I guess it would have a hole in it too for the fan air flow.

Yes, but that is actually the bottom of the amp.. Also there is a hole cut for the fan. with these the fan is set as an exhaust fan.

I like it, I am on the fence about the fans as the fans in that set-up would make my hatch area useless above the amps.

Now, I could do a squirrel fan on one end of each amp..
