My amps are immediately behind the bulkhead behind the seats. I carpeted a 1x10 and blocked it up the the level of the top of the bulkhead. You don't even notice it and the amps are nice and safe - and hidden. I've got a steath SubThump box for the JL 10w3 and the only thing you see in the car is the Kenwood 7100 double din.

BTW: Mine's not cheezy at all.

You need to rethink this. Plexiglass or ? Now the Jokes.

1. No.. That should keep out the RATS!

2. NO... I think that will grate cheese just fine! Where is the bread?

3. Looks like AMP prison!

4. I think the dishes are dry!

Sorry! Two beer and I get stupid!

How about using some pressure treated lattice? Are those 2x4 blocks painted black?

cheese is the appropriate word. Just make sure you put the burger on there first so the cheese doesnt melt on to the amp

OK, I'll give you an A- for effort.
