amp rack

got tired of looking at all wires hanging around and moved my amps from the hump to where the spare tire was( don't need it, got ls1 calipers now). I used 3/4 particle board because I couldnt seem to find mdf for some reason. I may just look some more and rebuild it using mdf. Only concern I have is having enough space between the two. I have about 3/4" between and the backs opened to the air.

Re: amp rack

Looks good, although I would cover it with carpet, or at least paint it black. Also, I wouldn't worry about re-making it with MDF. The reason you want MDF for speaker boxes is because it has the same strength in all directions, making it flex evenly, and not distort the sound. For an amp rack though, it doesn't matter.

Re: amp rack

thanks for the reply, wasn't sure on the mdf, seemed like it would hold up better.
