Which box to help hide amp Whas up guys, looking for a little advise, I want either the subthump rear well enclosue (2x12's) or the q-logic one. I think I like the Q-logic one because of the fiberglass cover, here is my dilema:
I hae a RF t8004 amp that I want to hide, the amp measures:
h:2.6"
w:12.8"
l:23"
I want to hide the amp in the well. Has anyone seen the two afore mentioed boxes? Will the amp fit somewhere in the well with either of these boxes. Oh yea, I need to fit a cap in there also....

Just FYI, the q-logic doesn't have a fiberglass cover. It's plastic. It's simply a very heavy wedge shaped hatch box made out of particle board with a plasic cover over top.
The subthump boxes are much lighter, have more air space, and are made out of mdf.
There is room under the box for amps and caps. That's where I put all my equipment.

It is no light weight piece, that's for sure. But, you can't beat the stealthy looks of it. As for room underneath... the box pretty much sits all the way down into the t-top area. I'm not too sure there would be that kind of room for an amp. You can see where I mounted mine, just to get access to it easier, plus I was pretty lazy after working on installing the subs. It's by no means a pro installation of the amp, but it will work until I figure out what the hell I'm gonna do with my system, if I'm keeping it or not and how I can rearrange it to look better.

I do not have t-tops, so I have not seen what you are describing. I guess there is some plastic peice that holds t-tops in the bottom of the well?
So if I do not have that piece do you all think a good size amp will fit down there. I need to hide that bad boy like a dead body.
