  • Amp rack

    This is just an Idea of what I might do. I will pull the spair tire cover thing and build a false floor. The amp will recess into this floor. I am going to put some fans in it and am going to leave the ends open to help with the heat. The grey part will come off if I want to adjust the amp or have any issues with the amp. I will build a second piece that will be solid and grey as well so I can cover the amp completely if I want. Like if I need to put stuff in the trunk. This is just the design I came up with today. The amp is 22 inches long by about 12. and 2" tall. So it is big but not huge. I am going to also have my brother stencle my team logo in the carpet close to the back of the rack. I am going to dye the rest of the carpet in the trunk black. Mine is kinda greyish and it wouldn't look right if I didn't. I am also going to carpet the trunk lid to cover the dynamat. I will also ba able to stash my other batts in the spair tire well too.

    This is the team logo of the audio club I started while in the army. My brother just redesigned it like 2 weeks ago.

    Edit: I shrunk down the image to make it a little more page friendly

      Nice idea, should look pretty sweet. How do you like your new amp?

      I just installed a similiar setup in a M3 a couple weeks ago.

        It hasn't showed up yet. But I know this amp and it was the amp I wanted for these subs. Plus only having 1 amp keeps me in an easier bracket in db drag. I am going to begin the build in a couple of days. Rack then the box. Shibby.

            Fill as in what equipment it had, or what the floor was made of. I assume you mean floor. I layed a fiberglass tub, build that up and used a couple cage fans for cooling. Used some auralex acoustics foam, layed a lexan top with some leather accents matched to the interior. Oh and neons in it too

            Get your amp chrome dipped

              Tight shit man. You take any pics? I am going to use carpet because I have no leather and I also plan to still be able to toss some stuff back there. Not alot but I might have to and leather or other leather wouldn't hold up as well ad the good old tough carpet lol. What componets did you use in that beast. I am not going to glass mine. I am just going to go the good ole easy mdf 1/2 inch or maybe something cheaper then that. It isn't like I am going to be a show car or anything. Less time and it will look just fine to me. Clean and simple.

                  Yeah I got some pics, they're on my laptop but my parents are using it on their holidayin. I'll post em up once I get it back, it turned out really nice. It was all for show, I tried to tell him to use some carpet, or beefier leather but he didn't care so oh well he said he'd come back if he had any problems with it *yay* for me... He also wanted normal plexi in it, go figure. MDF works fine, I don't consider that any less of an install. I look forward in how yours turns out actually, you have some killer equipment.

                  Lets see if I remember what I put in it.

                  - Eclipse AVN 5495 Head/Navigation with a camera hooked up in the rear.
                  - Eclipse 6 disc cd changer. I think it was the CH3083, not 100% sure.
                  - 2 Clarion LCD monitors mounted into the headrests. (Which were a PITA btw)
                  - 6.5 MB Quart Q Line components.
                  - Audiobahn A4KDN Amp for the subs.
                  - Audiobahn A4125HCT Amp for the components.
                  - 2 Audiobahn AW1208T Subs.
                  - Stinger Pro Hybrid 10 Farad Cap

                  Basically it, minus all the little doodads and whatnot.

                    lol, that's what this kid I knew once had done to his. It was a cheap ass old clarion amp that was worth like 20 bucks. Figure out that one, I never could

                      Why audiobling? Oh well. The rest of the equipment is pretty good. He shouldn't have shorted on the amp and sub though. He was looking for shiny huh? Post the pics when you get the laptop back.

                        Yup shiny was exactly it. I'll admit they did the job it was pretty loud, the 4 channel amp was pretty funky lookin. Those MB's sounded killer though.

                        But yeah, all ph0 show.

                          Oh well, Not everyone iss lookin for the best. I just care more about the sound than the looks but I will admit my subs are pretty sexy. That surround just makes me want to make love to them.

                            Oh yeah the surrounds are cool. They're huge on that audiobahn as well. 2" or something like that.

                              Revision drawn to scale. There isn't much room for the logo to be on the carpet. So I will build 3 of the cover things. 1 solid carpet, 1 with the opening showing the amp and the 3rd will have the hole with a plexi cover and some led's lighting it. I am going to etch my team logo in the plexi. We will use the neg of the sticker and sand paper the class to reveal the logo. It ought to look pretty tight. The wheel wells arent perfect on the pic but the rest is to scale. I cant decide if I want to round the corners of where it covers the amp.I can't decide yet.
