The guitars should be no problems. Depends upon the size of the amps.

Mine easily carried a pair of long tube headers, a complete center pipe section and some other parts.

Thank you all.
LOL!

On a trip to Memphis, we put a 2-suiter, a 3-suiter, two computer bags, a small set of golf clubs, my wife's carry-on, two coolers, a car-wash kit and electric fan.

You'll be fine.

I WAS fine about.. 4 months ago.

I had no idea how massive the trunk was. Now I do. Any car that can carry a woman's luggage has to be huge.

Default Packing

There is plenty of room even w/ the targa top stowed, IF you pack in duffels vs. suitcases, and be a little creative.

The top stows in the trunk at an angle- so a smaller duffel can fit at the back and under- just release the locking devices, raise the top, and place it under. Some additional small items can also fit under the top; then re-latch the top in place. A larger duffel can go ahead of the top, against the seats.

Clothes on hangers or in suit bags, jackets etc. can lay on top of the targa top, and actually stack pretty high without impeding rearward vision.


I use a targa top case to protect the top from scratching.
