Default Amp rack for large amp.

I was looking at the subthump amp racks but my amp is 17.7"x9.25"x2.36". It wouldn't be able to mount to either side of it.(right side of hatch latch or left side) And I can't tell if the spot under the latch is wide enough(top to bottom) to mount the amp centered under the latch. Any comments or suggestions?

Ok, here's the promised pics.

Two notes.

1) These are huge images (some nearly 1.5 MB in size), dialup users beware.

2) If you link directly, they will be removed. Please link to this thread.

EDIT: After all this work, I still can't fit the pass ttop. The sub is in the way. It will not slide down deep enough into the well to be locked in place.

Thanks everyone, I guess i'm just going to mount them veritcal on each side of the latch on the subthump amp rack, instead of horizontal. Thanks again.

Dream,

Vertical mounting would work too, but also consider how easy adjustments will be.

You might be able to mount both horizontally, but offset.

How big is your 2nd amp? Or are both the dimensions posted above?

They are both about the same size. If I ount them vertically they will actually be easier to make adjustments to. I'll just mount them with the frequency controls facing up towards the hatch.
