amp rack done!
Got the car back today and the amp rack is done. I have to say the quality of work was outstanding. the amp rack was a lot better then the one i was originally making 
I'm happy with 90% of the install but there are a couple issues that i have to bring up with them but i'm sure they'll be resolved (a couple were my fault 
)
I made some good ground with the dash though, that is still my baby and You guys are going to see some things not usually done in a typical install.
here are the pics so far, no night picks yet but it looks pretty cool. I swapped out the fan for a blue led fan and the tubes glow orange...great combo imho.
all buttoned up:
car pc:

tc sounds tc-9 subwoofer:
raw components (two Phaze/butler td1500's pushing 75wpc @ 8 ohms):
dac 122 s/n ratio, 192/24 bit, balanced outputs:
active x-over:
sub amp (zapco ref. 500wrms @ 2 ohms):
that's it. oh yeah, the carpet looks a bit off in the pictures but it's very close in real life.
I'll post some pictures of the dash piece as soon as possible... once quick question. what do you guys feel is a better look, recessed or flush mounted screen?

also, here are some teasers of what the dash has instore for it:
the "cup holder" is no longer but it's not going to just be a blank spot, i have something in store for it

Scott... looking great! That is a very clean install in the trunk. I am with everyone else though...can't wait to see the night pictures. The modded dash is looking cool. You've got me curious as to what you are going to do with the old cup holder.

well...just to give you a hint...it's not going to be a 'track ball'
thanks for the compliments.
i'm going to make some grill cloth covers for the x-over and the subwoofer grill. i think it'll finish it off nicely
Very nice and CLEAN install...
