[QUOTE="seth350, post: 2689778, member: 559168"] I was actually going to do this in my ext. cab truck when I had my back seat out. amps and stuff under plexi in front of the sub, but then turned away from it due to i didnt have a back seat and really didnt want to lose the functionality of my truck so im now doing an install under my back seat. really hard to come up with a cool design with such a limited space to work with :P only thing I think you should have to incorporate with the design is air getting to your amps to cool them. its very simple to do and all you have to have is an intake fan and an exhaust fan. just to keep the air circulating, but if you dont want to spend much on fans you could do 2 exhaust fans, one for each amp pulling the hot air out which would work but having an intake and exhaust for each amp would be better. and i would say go with the 3/4 inch MDF, since you said you still want to use your trunk it will prolly be safe to use so it wont break or bend over time and use of course you said you was going to use blocks to support it but if it were me i would go with the 3/4 you can get plexiglass at lowes and they can cut any size piece for you as long as its straight lines, they cant do rounded edges. how to mount the plexi, its really up to you.....i like it when the plexi is flush and you cant see any screws, just looks cleaner to me, although if you ever wanted to make any adjustments to your amp it would make it more tedious of having to take off the top piece to get to your amps. so for your system it would be wise to go ahead and screw the plexi down so it will adjusting everything easier. just be sure to predrill your holes for the screws in the plexi otherwise if you try to just screw it down it will crack and break. i like the idea you have, i am a big fan of false floors and i think it will turn out very nicely [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
