amp racks

ok here is the deal i want to build an amp rack but am having problems planning it out I have a 1000/1 and two 400.s rockford fosgate amps my box takes up 3.68 cubic feet and I want to display these amps in a tight way ive been being creative but nothing seams to be working. I have thought about putting as much as i can in the wheel well then plexiglassing over it and putting my cd changer and eq above one amp and then putting the other amp on the side wall if anyone has pics or ideas please holla or if you live close and want to help i would love it

how about a motorized drawer that slides out from under the rear deck???.....how do you feel about cutting up your rear seat?????pull the fabric off of the seat cut out some of the foam make a amp rack that will hold the amps place into rear seat....use some glass and removable panels to hide it.......add some custom neon....how about an amp rack in the spare tire well with removable panels and some glass to cover it add some neon...use a big six sided box and fire the sub backwards make a trim panel to cover that making your trunk look like it's about 8 inches shallower but if done correctly it will all be stealth......or subs in the spare tire well one amp on one side of the trunk and the other 2 on the other side of the trunk in the area where it gets wider near the rear mount the 1000.1 on one side and the 2 400.2 on the other side and angle them and float one over the other the cd changer can go under the rear deck and a thin drawer can slide out with the eq...make some trim panels for under the rear deck so only the changer door can be seen and the drawer next to it.......

these are just a few ideas off the top of my head.....be creative and good luck

my vote is get 3/8 or 1/2 inch plexi (the thicker the better) and cut it to 1/2 to 1 inch bigger on all sides of teh amp. boldt the amp to teh center.

arrange teh amps in a neat way in your trunk, and bolt them down using plexi dowels to raise them up off teh floor.

i assume your color combo includes blue neons? you take THIN 6-9 inch neons, then attatch them to teh back side of the plexi so they are invisible, then cover the back, so if there is ANY light, it goes into teh plexi.

flick on teh neon, and it makes it look lik eyour amp is floating on a blue light (or red, or orange, whatever color [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] )
