lookin good man!!! you should have gotten the H701 processor and gotten rid of all the crossover stuffs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

but you would have needed more amplifcation channels. *shrug*

exelent planning and fabrication however. good job etching those logos too!

That is hot!

I like the fact that you used the fans (hopefully ball bearing?) to circulate air internal to the amps. I have seen many people not do this and wonder why their amps go into protection due to heat.

Looks great, got any pictures of it installed?

No installed pics yet. I still have to rip apart the car for sound deadening (est completed by next weekend) i wanted to do all the wood working before i took apart my car.

Cerious how did you get the plexy glass in the openning for the lid. I've seen it done a couple time but have yet to get my mind around how its done.....

the original design called for a 4" cathode on the top center. the cathode broke so i had to order a new one. it arrived today and i quickly installed it (didn't have time for much anything else but for the 30 seconds of splicing, it was the most satisfying enjoyment/time ratio i've had so far.

here's a comparison pic:

without:

with the new cathode:

and with the lid down:

it makes the Crossovers easier to see.

I also got a set of locking latches, spring hinges and metal corners i plan to install wednesday. More pics to come

Thanks for making it easy for me to steal, lol. I'm just kidding, I'm quite sure you have a way to secure that setup.

It's beautiful. Honeslty, that's the best amp rack I've ever seen. Makes me feel like complete crap for screwing my amps into a piece of wood and bolting that to the frame. I like how the fans were implemented as well. You've given me alot of inspiration. I can't wait until I have a reason to do that one day.
