[QUOTE="temposs, post: 4533135, member: 555264"] The goals of this build are rather simple: - clean, neatly organized wiring - simple yet elegant system aesthetics - modular design - amps and wiring easy to work on/replace - amazing sound quality [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Before tearing the truck apart, I designed the rear amp tray, the enclosure, and the beauty panels. Again, the idea here was just a clean, simple look. I choose to fiberglass the enclosure that will house the 12w6v2. The enclosure is sealed, about 1cft in space. Wrapped with black whisper vinyl from Joann's fabrics. The amp tray rests on a sheet of MDF with blocks in place to prevent the tray from moving. It is very secure when installed. The amp tray itself is made of birch ply to keep the weight down when removing the amp. The base which the amp rests on is fully removeable from the rest of the tray, allowing for neatly organized wiring beneath the amp. Again, all wrapped in black vinyl. The beauty panels are made of birch to keep weight down again. The top amp beauty panel was rounded around the edges for a finished look, and beveled 45º around the amp. Eventually I plan on making an insert to rest within this bezel to protect the amp (if I am ever putting stuff back there). [/QUOTE]
