I just went to my local audio store and they found some laying around. I just got lucky I guess, but I did see some carpet samples that you could order from.

Nice and clean. I like the fiberglass idea.

...I hope you have some sort of active cooling system or those amps will get cranky.

Setting up a simple 2-fan cooling system with a thermo switch can be easisly done for under $40 and give you peace of mind.
