I swear I have the worst luck ever with stereos. First of all, if it wasnt for my luck, this all would have been installed last summer, all of it has been sitting at home for the last year.

I spent all today hooking stuff up, after blowing a fuse, it all fired up, sounded great, last step was to screw on my amprack... and it doesnt fit. I have pics here showing the piece of MDF in place and everything.

I am pretty sure the MDF grew overnight, there are no wires or anything getting in the way, the MDF just doesnt fit past the panels... worst part is that I made all my RCA's myself, so I drilled the holes in the amprack to fit the cable, not the ends, so the amprack is goin in the garbage with all my RCAs in it.... maybe all my amps and subs will follow too.....

Things not looking good for the med hat -> castlegar comps

Um, before tossing that amp rack in the garbage along with the RCAs, why not cut the RCAs in an un-seen spot so you can get them out of the rack and then reconnect them later after you get the new rack done?

ya, I think thats what I am gonna do, cut one end off and compress a new one on. I was thinking that I couldnt do it since the RCAs are made to length for my one amp rack, just means that I'll have to move them closer to the crossover on the new one.
