[QUOTE="pdtran, post: 2689626, member: 573200"] the size of my amps and trunk make it hard for me to make an install that looks clean so here is what I have in mind...what u guys think? [IMG]http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/2118/trunkideari6.jpg[/IMG] the amp rack would be right up against the trunk and the box would be as far back as possible. i want to still use my trunk so yea. on top of that amp rack, i am going to put a thin layer of MDF, thinking 1/4 on top and use little blocks between the two layers of MDF to keep it up. the top layer woudl be the only carpeted part. i would then cut the small boxes in the mdidle of the amp labeled "plexiglass" because i am planning on putting plexiglass over it so you can see this section of the amp, and so it will be a little easier to make adjustments after i install. this is the section I would like to show and be accessible. [IMG]http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/3606/tnoutside1jl7.jpg[/IMG] so my questions are it should be ok to use thinner than 3/4" MDF for this right? like 1/4? also...where can you get plexiglass? does anywhere sell them precut in nice little squares like that? how do you guys keep the plexiglass on? do I just screw the plexiglass onto the board? what kind of tools can cut plexiglass cleanly because I would want to cut a few lines across to let the amps breathe a little bit. in the end i am hoping it to look someting like this: [IMG]http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8786/26623116zs9.jpg[/IMG] with this behind the plexiglass: [IMG]http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/3411/a31zy7.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
