Fiberglass Amp Racks

Hi, I just started finished doing the first coats of fiberglassing for two amp racks. I`m using the basic design of placing the amps in the front corners of the trunk.

This principle...

How do you mount the amp without any piece of mdf behind it, and how do you run the wires through the fiberglass and the outer trunk carpet?

I would think the best way to accomplish that look would be to make templates out of cardboard and build it out of mdf vs. fiberglass.

Cut and shape the cardboard to fit like you want, and then transfer the template to some 1/2" mdf, cut the mdf out, put it together and then carpet...

Ok, would I only need to build the front, sides and top then? Also how do I mount the amp without a backing to screw into?

Well in the case of the picture you used, mine BTW.

The amp I mounted has a top mounting lip so the front panel was the only one which needed to be made out of MDF.  Generally you make the back panel out of MDF with the front having an opening large enough to screw the amp on to it and then you make a seperate trim panel that goes over the top of the enclosure to cover the wires, gap and screws.
