My first amp rack build
Decided to just go ahead and do it.Nothing fancy,but considering this was my first, I was pleased with it. Took about a day.Most frustrating thing was getting the back end of the top piece to curve around like the rear end of the car.

a good trick is to cut bristle board out or cardboard first alittle at a time then when its right trace it onto mdf then cut. way easyer.
One little tip too drill holes right were your wires hook up and route them out of site it looks alot cleaner and for the work you did it gives it that pro look.

Thanks.I did use cardboard for a template to get a precise angle for the rear of the car.Still was a pain to get right.Now if it will stop raining to install everything.

that looks good. i actually went an easier route and made an amp rack directly from plywood. once painted black and some carpet covering the top, it definitely looked professional. just seemed easier than the mdf route since it was a trip home depot, a saw, and black paint. i think i spent $15 on everything.
