[QUOTE="HCCA, post: 6429634, member: 571196"] As for the necessityof the fans...I don't know if it's a big issue, yet. It's really cool outside, so I don't think I would notice the need for them until we get into the 80's, at least. Second, my amps have fan cooling on them, already. I suppose you could just have the vents with no fans, but it might depend on how much power you're runing, and how hot your amps get. Most amps have around the same height. Around 2 3/8". The height from the amp rack to the false floor is about 2 3/4"-3". Yes, the whole floor is hinged at the back. The sub box quick disconnect you spoke of was what I had in mind, as well. My QD is using brass bolts, brass nuts, and copper washers to pass through the box. I used crimp on ring terminals inside the box, before passing them through the box, and double nutting them on the outside. I only need to loosen the nuts, to remove the wires. I don't think I would use location pins to set my sub box. They are heavy somsa biches, as it is. Just try to set the pins in the holes, by yourself without destroying the carpet, wood, vinyl, leather, etc...Might be easier to just use the same thing I did. Can't say anything about the difference AFTER deadening the doors, as it was the first thing I did before anything else. I don't have a before, and after comparison to go by. HOWEVER...with the pounding going on in the doors, now... I can only guess that you would benefit from it. [/QUOTE]
