Need Some Advice on Building my 1st Amp Rack

[bimmeracer 10+ year member]

I have two JBL amps(75X4 and 1200.1), that I would like to stack on top of one another. I would like to use acrylic tubing like this for that stands for the platform.

My questions are, what I should use as a platform for the amp on top?

What size acrylic stands would I need to support the 1200.1?

Should I add some fans?

Could I get any of these parts locally at any hardware stores?

Thanks

if you keep them well separated, leaving room for them to breath, then you shouldn't need fans.

What are you making the first platform out of? i would use 3/4 plywood, do the same for the upper platform as well. or some beefy plexy so you can see the bottom one.

thanks. I will keep them separate.

Any other advice?

Do you guys usually order these parts online or can they be found locally?
