Amp Rack designs
 

suggestions? #3 or #6 is what I'm liking the most!

Three or hold your Rockford gear hostage.

Looks wise, I like 3 the best.
But I pick #1 as it has the shortest wire lengths (amps to distros n stuff)
second choice (for the same reasons) would be #5

EDIT: does the winner get that amp you have for sale???? :) :)

none!
all are too close together for my liking.
i say use the space available and it out more. this will make the wiring look neater. not so jammed together.
just my opinion folks!
looks like a nice setup though

put them in a way where you can access the dials if need be.

Yuli - great idea - thanks for the input! The dials are all on the top of the amps so no matter how it's laid out. I like the fact that Audison took the time to think of the user in their amps!

nghtrdr - the space allocated underneath is what I have to work with. I'm installing 4 - 120mm cooling fan off a relay plus the spare tire is to remain underneath. There will be a second beauty board then carpet to cover the entire trunk when my wife buys some sh!t we don't need ( maybe she thinks the same about car audio :smokin:)

Al - Setup #6 would be the shortest lengths from distro to amp the grey end caps are all the wire connections! I'm 90% sure on #3 but I may move the distros right beside the amp on the right side and move the 3sixty's closer to the middle!

At this point I'm willing to move it for dynamat! ANYONE????

Or what? Where the firewall bushing I ordered? :mad:

Cheers Ju

#5 looks cool lol

my wife and I both prefer #3 the most!

#5 :smilie_da

I think you need to lay it all out in the car first. From what I can tell you want access to the storage space in the hatch. And from what you've told me, you will be putting the sub on one side. Do you have enough room to put all the amps on the other side, which would give you lots (sort of) room in the hatch. You could place the amps vertically and stagger them. You really don't need to see any of the other gear. But if you really want to see it, there will be lots of space for them in other locations. Are you looking for a showy install or more stealth?

Like we discussed on Sunday! The amp rack is going to lift on a piano hinge so having the 3sixty's and distro underneath will not matter. I'll know more tomorrow and post photos with the sub in the corner.

The hurdle will be the opening for the spare tire which takes up 90% of the well. Rockford suggests not to seal up the processors so having them underneather isn't really an option. I can cool them with a fan but re-circulating hot air is kind off pointless.

Totally open to ideas except cutting a hole in the floor for fresh air!

I'll take photos tomorrow with options!

Keep the blocks at the hinge end or hide em. Try to keep all your wiring towards the hinge end.

then im with father Yuli.
make sure every dial and xover setting is easily accessed.

Once the car is set up, he really shouldn't need to touch the amps. Access to the amplifiers is nice, but not really required. IMHO.

Like John said accessible is nice but not needed! All xover adjustments will be done in the 3sixty. The amps xover will be set up too as a backup incase the 3sixty's fail!

Here is the layout - The green tape is the tire well ( yes it's not centered ) due to the muffler. It may get tweaked in the end but this is the layout I'm going for. The sub was placed as a guide - not the exact layout but just to get an idea.

DUKK the distros are now moved to the back like you suggested. This will help if there is any strees on the wire when accessing the spare tire.
