I Did a little messing around today, i got sick om my sub amp over heating underneath my seat so i made a new rack in the open space in the cargo area. I cut out a piece of cardboard to to trace on some half inch MDF. i used some carpet from an older project, i like the design so it works. after i drilled the holes for the two gauge and the sub wires, remote and RCA's. I attached it with velcro, and doesn't move at all. I didn't even think about taking pictures till after i made it but heres the final product. tell me what you think.

Hey, that looks great, very clean how you made that rack behind it. I had that Alpine amp with the 50x4 and its a really good clean amp. From my experience they can take abuse and the heat, wouldnt that fit under the passenger seat if you wanted it out of the way?

I have my amps mounted to the underside of the car, out of the way taking up no room and the air flow is fantastic down there, just sucks when it rains and they keep shorting out.

Is there anyway you can remove the stock cargo floor, or is it basically sitting on the frame? Was thinking make a false floor, then you can hid your amp and have room for tools. Thats what I have now, removed the stock floor which is basically all plastic extrusions and useless, now I have all that usable space under there where I keep alot of tools and amps.

no its just carpet. i guess i meant tool box as in a place to put my tow straps and hooks and stuff nothing huge. you wouldn't notice it unless i told you it was there. I have thought about making a false floor but i feel like it would look funny raised up 2.5 inches to hide the amp there because my plastics don't go very high up. I don't mind any of it being seen really i anchor everything down really well it would take a grinder to get it out quick. if they could even get it into the stop to cut the bolts out.
