looks good.
only thing I noticed is there is a gap where the sub rack meets the left "box area" where those hidden subthumps go, maybe you could put a little piece to hid the gap. But maybe this provides a little ventillation, I dont know.
anyway, nice job

Nice job. I've always loved the JBL/crown amps. I think they look great. Can't wait to see the amp rack.

I'll be putting my system in soon (hopefully)...

should i mount the amps side by side or the 1201.1 on the bottom and the 4 channel on top of it?
i think "stacking" them would look nice. anyone done this?

When I was thinking about running those amps, I was going to lay them where you have them now, but at an angle and flush. if you can mount them standing up (slightly leaning back), that would look great too.

How did you mount your amps? Do you have MDF under them, if so, how'd you mount the MDF?
