Default Post pics of your rack! :-)

Your amp rack, that is. I'm looking for some ideas of how to get 3 amps (JL 500/1, JL 300/2, and Punch 160.2) into the back of the vert. Against the rear wall sounds like the best idea to retain as much space as possible. But to do it cleanly..that's the real idea.

So let's see what you've guys have done.

I dont have a pic of mine yet (next on the list to do) but you could make a partition right behind where the top goes down and mount the amps on that. You get a nice amp rack and a it also closes off your interior from road noise.

I only have one amp, but this is where I placed it. Made the rack part of the sub box.

That's pretty wild! Do you have fans built into the rack?

The amp fans are ported to the outside of the rack, and the plexi on top is vented. I have driven it for 8 hours straight (ok, stopped once for gas), jamming away...no worries.

I dig that a lot. Nice and simple. The rack on the back wall is kind of the style for what I'm considering.

Thx!

What went into making the deck for the subs and amp rack? Doesn't look like fiberglass...looks like ABS or something cool like that. VERY clean. Can you give more details one exactly what went into it?

Thx!

I just sat at home and waited (and waited) while the men with the skills dealt with the reality of making 10" subs work under the stowed roof.

Another member whose name escapes me had the floor of the cargo area raised to make amps and 10" subs appear flush-mounted. And Archtop put three amps in the front of the cargo area and mounted subs in the doors:
