Default Stealthbox/Amp rack

Guys with stealthboxes and or the rear wall amp rack by subthump; is this stuff easily removable for the track or is it in there pretty good? Could it all be taken out in under 20 minutes?

It's not enough weight to make a difference, plus the weight is over the rear which will help with traction.

If you have a sub that weighs 20 pounds or so and some heavy amps I do think that it is enough to make a difference. I think that the box would be easily removable but i'm not sure about the amp rack.

I have the amp rack. I would say that it would be a PITA to remove for the track. Might be ok if you only go a few times a year, but if it's a weekly thing, hell no. I found it to be a PITA to get it to mount securey, not something I'd look forward to having to do again. Plus you'd have to route all the wires back through, which ain't hard, but can also be a little time consuming. In addition, if you have a stealthbox, like I do, and the amp rack, you can't remove the stealthbox w/o removing the amp rack first.

the general rule of thumb is:

every 100 pounds of weight is 1 tenth.

every 10whp is 1 tenth also.

There's other factories but a good general rule.
