[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3509944, member: 569830"] Ok, I'm a little curious how you're going to get the amps in there? It's hard to tell, but it looks like this is a whole unit, MDF floor included, right? Or is it just a 'cover'? Looks like the trim rings for the amps sit on the top of the amps, thus you couldn't drop the amps in once it was complete if the floor was attached... so I'm guessing that wood floor isn't part of the whole. If so, how are you going to attach this 'cover' to the floor to make it solid and prevent rattling, etc.? I think mine's actually going to be a reverse of what you're doing... since my floor is all convoluted and uneven, I'll have to make the fiberglass part the bottom, then add in a flat base, and make a flat wood cover, or a 'glass cover like yours. Nice though. Not sure how much air movmt you're going to get, and it likely won't be even movement, anyways. More air will come from the left side, where the smaller amp is (less resistance), thus giving your larger amp (which I assume is the sub amp) less air mvmnt. It may not be an issue, but also it looks as if most if not all of your air mvmt will be around the sides of the amps, not on the top where most heatsinks are designed to dissipate heat.
