amp rack ( stacking ) ?

[big scott]

hi guys,

im going to start ordering some amps. ill have 4 or 5 not sure yet. it will be at least 4 . just not sure if im going with an extra set of 6x9 yet.

i have my amps flat, and i plane on stacking them on top of each other. what i need to know is how much space should i set from one another ? from top of one to the bottom of the other.

if i do 5 amps not sure how ill mount it.

but my plan is to mount 2 ppi 1800 ( one on top the other ) and 2 smaller ppi amp and they to will be stacked.

so when all said and done ill have 2 stacks side by side.

i just dont want to stack them to close for cooling and looks of course .

also should i put a few computer fans on them to help keep them cool ?

if so 1 one each stack ? or 1 per amp?

1/4" to 1/2" is fine. If they thermal protect then add fans....

I used 4 threaded rods for the correct height of the nuts to use for the amp base. To hide the threads of the rod I use custom cut brass tubing in between each nut corresponding to the specific height I was using.
