got it done by my guy at CC believe it or not. lol. actually he used to work for Columbus CAr Audio which is one of the biggest custom car audio places around town. they do anything from basic amp/box install toreal high end stuff for real high end cars. but he got sick of commission... anyways yeah he hooked me up with that setup. i love it. i just never posted pics of it cause it just got set back outta the way with rebuilding (and rebuilding) the box. lol.

he wired the 0/1 gauge, fusesand2nd batteryup for me and i told him to just get the amps in there somewhere and he came back with that. i was real happy to say the least.

Thanks 07lane40 That is what I was looking for. I'm gonna get some mdf prob. 1/2 so that way I can use the extra to build a smaller box in that back angle part for my 2 kicker cvr 10s. Then I will build an amp wall sort of like yours. mount one amp facing the rear seats other facing the sub box. My problem is that my amps are so long. I also have a kicker 4 ch. I might use too instead of my original 4 ch. I was gonna use..so kinda up in the air about it.

I hate worst lie just because I use to work there. They have some good people, it is just a bad system... CC has some good or even great installers and can do some good stuff. That is a simple and smooth install which is why I like it. You didn't eat up the trunk, hid all the wires and even put a little bit of depth in it. Most of the time the simple stuff is what is the hardest to pull off and keep it clean, yer guy looks to have done a good job.

See how easy an amp rack is? 1 - 2 - 3

thanks ttocs.

hahayeah. it's simple. i just love the look too cause its not hangin out all over like some other systems ive seen. creative but simple. he hid a lot like the dist block and both fuses, and a buttload of wiring. im big on being clean. i dont like it when everything gets too crowded.

It was hard to keep the clutter down with only my two amps, but then they are both 4 channels and I am using all 8 outputs. Hopefully yer boy took care of you and it as clean inside as out, all it normally takes is an **** customer or installer(**** in a good way, like me). I have seen alot of systems that look good from far and are far from good.... with that and the new box you must be just waiting for a warm afternoon to roll the widows down and crank the tunes huh?

finally got a couple days this week and ive been lovin it.

i actually took the thing apart to see how it was wired and how clean it was inside and was really happy with the job. hes actually done 4 installs for me and my pops. he fiberglassed a box and installed a new deck and amp for my dad's vette (had a little stealth thing goin on with the sub goin in a glovebox behind the seat) and he's never once fudged anything up. he's pretty much my goto guy for sounds.

Did he build the back part of the amp rack as one board going across...then have the center amp stick out by using more wood as a spacer?
