[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7370489, member: 576029"] then we carpeted the amp rack, cut out holes for mounting bolts, cables, and venting. the amp rack will have L-brackets on bottom (even have hurricane nuts for those) with a 3/8" threaded rod secured to the vehicle framing, through a factory trunk light opening, and through the panel.

[IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2005sciontC/trunk022.jpg[/IMG] drive screws through the hurricane nuts (or t-nuts) to expose them on the carpeted side (as bumps) [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2005sciontC/trunk021.jpg[/IMG] now back out the screws, one at a time, and cut off the hump. now you have exposed all of the screws and you won't have issues with carpet [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2005sciontC/trunk023.jpg[/IMG] amp rack placed in the car - even this won't be visible as we will build a beauty panel to hide everything once we are finished.
