i think the amps look real nice where they are, maybe u can just get some masonite and build around the amps so they look flush and it hides the wiring.
and if they fit mount the crossover flush in the same masonite right btwn the subs and where your rca cables go into the amps

I'm hoping that when I get around to making a cover for the 2 amps I have now, I'll have only 2 windows to see the amps so the wires will be covered. Maybe I can somehow mount the sub amp on top? Might be something to think about before I start on the cover cause I'll have to have to redo it if I don't do it now..
Thanks for the input!

masonite is a thin dark brown colored board. it is like 1/8" - 1/4" do u know what a peg boards is? it is the board with holes throughout it where people hang on their walls to hang tools from. if u know what i am talking about....masonite is the same board but with no holes. one side is rough and the other is smooth.

That looks pretty good. Alot of time when into fiberglassing everything.
Hes right about the amp. That thing will get hot. I would look for a new place to mount it. The life of your amp depends on it
