Are the nutserts from the top amp resting on the amp below it? Could use some 3M double-sided trim tape in the middle section of the amp span to keep the aluminum tight against the bottom of the amp?
and no, they are not touching the amp below or it would scratch :P
some sticky tape might work. but ill see what happens after carpet and amp mounting
I should have save the pictures from his site. there was a pattern back in the day with most euro hatches across the pond, subs in the tub and amps behind the seat or on the side. lots of plexi and aluminum.. Metal frame.. I'll see if I can find it.. How often do you fold down your rear seat?

often enough to need the space. mostly in the winter when the wife and i go boarding, or when i got lots of crap to move. sometimes ill take the subs out and the seat backs and use it to transport stuff. so having that space is important to me. im not going to sacrifice convince and ergonomics for pretty things. this is my daily driver too.
can't wait to see those amps installed. still don't know why you switched amps though, seems kind of unneeded but ic an understand the desire to change things. I have some massive audio amps sitting in my dresser that I plan on eventualy putting in my car to replace one of my PDX amps...no real reason. in fact its a downgrade I think. but my tweeters and mids don't need 150 watts and never will

well im at a critical point. almost ready to put stuff back together. spare tire is completely accessible without removing subwoofer baffle or amp rack. all wires are going to be hidden under the amp rack this time, but it will still look quite fresh and so clean!
this is all thanks to tom over at syracuse customs - he helped me out with the amp rack because i dont have the metal working tools to make this kind of stuff. we spent a few hours with the HLVP spray gun and some serious spray glue to get it all worked up. the carpet is all in place, i just gotta go out there today and bolt the left floor panel down, install the H701 and grounddistribution block under the amp rack, figure out where im going to mount the fused distribution then hook it all up and put everything else back together.

I understand..... the reason to change....... I finally know the difference between having dynamic headroom and not having it.
I really like the amp rack - I think that is going to really look nice, and of course they will be very easy to get to.
gonna be in watkins glenn for the wine fest. friends of the wifes family own a winery and we are going to be helping them out saturday and sunday. otherwise id be in maryland for the DIYMA show. sorry man!
thanks for the words jason
best part is - full size spare can be removed in minutes with all the equipment installed - plus i still have quite a bit of trunk space
i will be making a beauty panel to cover the amps after i hook it all up as well.
Feedback......well, this photo probably made Diyma history.......does installing equipment always give you that kind of reaction - a quick sprint to the head......just noticed the 'Kicker' sticker - was this poor target at your favorite car audio hangout?........pooh bear......fitting
Wow, that is the 3rd subscribed thread that I have that you commented on...... very interesting.....3 long build threads in less than 15 minutes..... some kind of record.
I have completed more things today. Base is bolted down. Most of the wires are ready to hook u p to the amps. Had to build new speakerwire harnesses from my barrier strips to the amps, tech flx and such. Mounted the fused distro in the driver side cavity. Had to fab up a nice little holder for it. I has pics but i dont want to try and do all that on my droidx2... so pics before i do more in the mornin. I have errands and some other bs to do tomorrow. So i hope i can wrap it up in a few hours.
