my custom amp rack for C5 vette

While they ay be visible, the sheer construction of the amp rack will make stealing any part of it a total pain. The lid will have double locking latches. While you could take apart the amp rack in it's position, it weighs a good 50+ pounds fully assembled. It will be firmly bolted to a fals floor (glued to the floor)

while it's not completely theft proof (and nothing is) it does have it's theft detterent features....which will include a dirty towel with a radioactive symbol just for kicks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

 
i started initial design in late november. at this time i was in school and worked so i didn't have much time for construction.

Trial construction (built out of masonboard as a templete) was completed by the start of January.

Construction was delayed when my father had an accident at work and i had to take over the responsibilties of the family furniture business. Thankfully, the shop where I worked on the amp rack was the warehouse behind the showroom.

My dad is still recovering but he runs the store and I can work in the back.

i'd say total man hours to design, shop for parts, build, assemble, carpet, and wire was about 60-70 man hours.

 
Rack finished:

installed brass hinges, aluminum corners, and locking latches.
