That looks pretty clean on the box. Hide the wires on the amp.

your kidding right? why not hide all the wires? The installation will look 100x better with the wiring cleaned up.

yah i predrilled 4 holes and then used some self tapping screws and screwed through the rack and into the bracket.

if you can take a pic of the hatch latch bracket under the carpet i'll show you where, but it is a PITA to take the rack off!

Nice job on the sub and amp rack cus. Just remember to hide those damn wires that is a must with any audio set up. What size amp are you running to need a capacitor?

ive been wanting to build a box like this instead of putting up with all the troubles of fiberglassing one but thought it would be too many odd angles. after seeing this i might try building one. as for the amp-bye bye spare tire and jack.

it is a lot of odd angles! lol, but its worth it to me. i dont know about putting the amp in the spare tire area... amps can get really hot so i wanted a place where it was out in the open to keep it cool.
