6 12's 4th order, 16v, 10k+, single cab s10 :)

anyone have an idea for a battery/ amp rack. dimensions are 38 wide, 17 tall, and 10.5 deep. want it to be sturdy and will be mounted to the bed floor. i have access to 2x4, 3/4 birch and threaded rod. so possibilities are endless. lol was gonna mount amps on top of batteries with birch in between. any suggestions?
Since you're gonna cut the bed for the port anyway,why not blow a hole in the bottom of the bed and sink the batteries/amps in a box under the bed.It would be hidden behind the bumper,blast some Herculiner on it for water proofing and save that bed space for the stroller?

haha yeah i could do that...but im not. i have an idea of what im gonna do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
got a little bit done today. decided to go ahead and seal up the box since im done with it. i put the leds in it also. worked on the amp rack for the front and back. the front is almost done and im still contemplating how im gonna do the back rack.

Here is the rack that i had built. i like the fact its pretty much done, but i dont like hat the bottom amp kinda closed in. i have to fans i could place on each end of it to help it out a little. would just mean more wire to run.

space that the amp has. roughly 3 1/2in.

here is the one i was thinking about doing after playing with the idea, i dont know if both amps will fit like that though and dont know if the batterys are gonna be to wide for the angle i would have to put the amps on.

the new frontstage amprack. i like this a lot better. a lot more simple and will be easier to wire up in the end.

Ran into a problem with the amp rack, with the wires under the carpet it made it sit up a little higher. so im going to have to make the back a little taller or something to fix it lol

i absolutly HATE this thing. couldnt hook it up because it wouldnt work. ive sent it in 2 times already for the bluetooth being screwed up. ran the system without it and will probably leave it out. the horns sounded better with it, but right now its just not worth the headache.
