[QUOTE="gckless, post: 8430236, member: 635756"] So I need a little help. I don't know how to design this amp rack. What I want is basically this (just pay attention to the amps, not subs): [IMG]http://i17.tinypic.com/53z6uxj.jpg[/IMG] I'm going to be building a box to hold the amps, and then the rear board (towards the trunk, so what you see) will also be a beauty panel and be wider than the rest of the amp box. I wanted to mount the amps to the rear board so that the guts are visible. More I think about it the more I don't think that's possible though. I don't know how to secure the beauty panel to where it's removable, so that I can get to the amps, and still have a clean look on the outside. It's going to be 1/2" plywood, so I don't trust magnets to hold that on there if the amps are mounted to it. Actually, just thought of this while I was typing, maybe I can do hinges on the bottom so it folds out/down, then magnets all along the sides and top. Could be those cupboard magnetic latches (like this: [URL="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Liberty-White-Heavy-Duty-Magnetic-Catch-with-Strike-C080X0C-W-P/100149442"]Liberty White Heavy Duty Magnetic Catch with Strike-C080X0C-W-P - The Home Depot[/URL]). But then I wouldn't be able to mount the amps to the rear board, I would have to mount them to the opposite side (towards the front of the car), and then would only be able to display the top/chassis. Who's got ideas? [/QUOTE]
