Hey guys, I wanna build a small amp rack using square steel tubing.
What kind of metal do you guys recommend to mount amplifiers on ?
Stainless steel ? Copper ?
Im gonna spot weld the tubes to the bottom of my hatch floor and place the amps ontop of the tubes.
Should I carpet or powdercoat the tubes ?





I found a good supplier.

METAL SUPERMARKETS

 

I used aluminum tube for my last install. I like shiny stuff and aluminum polishes up great. It's also very light, easy to drill/ cut and plenty strong for this application.
I have no idea about heat transfer properties versus other metals but amps have been set on carpet floors for many years with no issues so I don't think it's relevent anyways.
The only downside (if you don't have one) is ut should be TIGG welded.
