For a substage, I got a stetsom 2k6d and MX 15" in a custom painted black box for only $750. I can bass race 140 with it and it's set up for daily at 32 or 31hz. your setup actually not that bad coming from a shop though...In my experiences anyway.

Although, I really do hate the way your amp is mounted.

The shop accidently mounted your amplifier in the one and only unacceptable direction possible. Ooops.

LOL, i told them not to do that, they were like its going to be fine. So i trusted what they were doing and let them do there thing. Why what the cons of having your amp like that ?

Hot air rises. Heat sink fins are now on the bottom. Capice? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
Like I said, all convection cooled amps like that are designed to work in absolutely any direction... except upside down. The vast majority of owner's manuals Ive seen on these types of amps expressly say so. So either your install shop is completely incompetent, or they simply dont give a rat's *** if they performed a good job for you or not. Take your pick.

And before you say 'but it works'... it will diminish the life of your amplifier. At the very least.

honestly, the wires aren't a terribly big deal, although i would expect them to be better organized for what you paid ( that single wire hanging down definitely would bother me).

The amp, however, needs to be mounted better, on the box/floor/ wherever, just not upside-down. Is it even screwed down right now, or is it just hanging like that by the wires?

You PAYED them to give you a professional install. Any idiot could have mounted it wrong, you payed to have it mounted correctly. What you got was a high school kid drive-way install... and you want to know if you should take it back? What do you think?

If you make a nice amps rack with either paint or carpet in the came location and mount the amps to that it'll clean up well.
