I turned my backseat into an amp rack. And now the seat is more comfortable than before. I used a softer foam than gm.

taken apart


all together


Visable wires when seat is folded down


been there for a few years now with no problems. I overheated the amps once. It happened 9 hours into a 12 hour roard trip. Shut everything down for an hour, all better.

more pics in sig

The shop wanted their logo "Bullfeathers Car and Sound", so for a small fee (discount) I offered it up to them. (I assume you mean on the amp side), but I have the MBQuartz/Team Gates/Memphis stickers on the front side (back seat area).

After this year, the system will go into mothballs......Done competing!

Thanks, and many of the ideas I gathered from viewing f-body galleries. The system was specifically designed to meet the MECA street SPL class and modified SQ class.

Problem I find is that after (2) years, the monitors begin to go.......seen too many ppl w/warranty requests. I'm Sca-ert for the money an AV system costs to purchase/install. I was more concerned about the excessive daytime heating and jarring (racing) damage that could potentially be a problem.

I'll post my pictures in the next couple days. My interior is completely apart as I'm installing 160sq/ft of sound deadening right now.
My amp rack is where my rear seats use to be.

Just curious, but everyone that has amps and such on the back rack, are ya'll paranoid someone will jack ya stuff??? I'm always concerned with it, hence the double 5% tint on back. Even with that, I still worry alot about it, even though I have a kickass alarm.

I wish we had more room, I'd hide it all if I could!!

I would be. Thats why im mounting my amps where the back seats used to be. It's not as advertised. No more than my headunit will be at this point. Im still torn whether or not to go 5 or 15 % for my tint though. I hear its hard/impossible to see out the back hatch with 5%. But it would be nice to have the added "security" and heat deflection.

edit: Oh hey, infinite. I was just curious. There is an led screen of sorts on the amp im getting. Do you think that would be changeable to red? I'd assume if anyone would have a clue, you'd be the guy to ask. lol
