Any chance of mounting amps on the backside of that rack? In other words - so the amps aren't visable at all? I'm in the process of working with my audio shop and seeing if we can get my little Alpine stackable amps to fit underneath my rear seat buckets. No one sits in the seats, so cutting some of the foam woulnd't be a problem...it's the airflow i'm nervous about. IMO that is the best spot for them, totally hidden and already have a little 'well' to sit in. I like the idea of the back panel too...

Yeah, just something that flows better with the hatch lock, and around the trim. I'd like to see the rack look like it's part of the car, you know? Like it's the rear "wall" of the car...something that doesn't just stop at the bottom... Do your magic

I just don't see the point in having exposed wires and amps. If they were top of the line I would give you the option of recessing those amps in the current frame. But since they're not, I would rather see them hidden behind the OE carpet or beveled with a 45degree angle of depreciation and kind of rounded out so it looks more natural-ish. Maybe lower the top an inch, so that it's more aligned w/ the sub.

wiktorek25 that looks sweet, would love to have a amp rack like that in my car, im sure its already been covered here but what do you guys do to get a signal at the amp with the monsoon stereo? do you just use a line leveler at the rear speaker?
