Another small update to post up. The amp rack is pretty much completed. The only thing left to do with the amp rack itself is the last second addition of hinges. I was going to just screw the top down to the base but I'm afraid that if I have to remove it to make adjustments too many times that it will ultimately end of causing problems. So I've opted to put some hinges on the top to allow for it to simply be opened when adjustments are needed along with the use of a cabinet lock to keep it shut. The only other part of the rack I have to complete is cutting some 1/4" thick perforated steel to size to fill the recesses in the top of the rack lid to protect the top of the amps while allowing air to ventilate. The 1/4" thick perforated steel has 3/4" holes and in adverse weather conditions I'll be temporarily covering the rack with floor mats to protect everything. So onto some pictures. Here I'm checking the fitment of the rack base along with making sure there is sufficient clearance for the 4 gauge and 1/0 power wires to make the trip from the battery to the amps. I've got the ventilation holes cut, routed and ready for the perforated steel inlays. I also have gotten the upright supports glued into place as well. The amp rack is pretty much completely done at this point. The base is painted with rubberized undercoating and carpeting has been applied with contact cement. I have some thin sheet metal that was left over from the door inserts for our cabinet doors from the kitchen renovations we're also in the middle of. It looks pretty good but will not likely be permanent due to it's "overly light for the application" nature. I will likely find something in 16 gauge perforated steel to replace it at some point in the future. That's all the updates I have to post up right now. If life will ever cooperate I will have the amp rack installed this weekend, or next considering that next weekend should be a 3 day weekend for me.

Just looking at my post in the quotes above...I meant to say 6" from the top of the box to the headliner...LOL Thing is gonna scramble some brains.
