This is my first time for this.. I think it turned out pretty good for what I was looking for! I think I'll add some neon or a black light. Hence why the Inside of the Amp compartment is white. I also added 2 fans. One on the left side sucking out and one on top blowing in. I think I am also going to get a 10x10 inch Acura Symbol etched into the Plexi. Let me know what you think>

That look damn good. You might want to put some sort of grill over the Kappa though.

Nice job. I bet you never shut the trunk now ;) Get your camera and light in there and get a closeup.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Thanks guys I appreciate the good words! It's kind of addicting , I'm sure it won't stay like this for long, I've been dreaming about goin all the way and decking out the whole thing. One more Amp and one more sub. The sub Enclosure I did there was fun and rewarding so maybe I'll do the whole trunk next time. Thanks again for the props guys!

i installed my car stereo but it wont power up. a constant 12v is connected, grounded and speakers connected. as well as the amplifier. now there is a red wire from the stereo that is not connected but the installation procedure said to connect that wire to an accessory in a fuse box. what is the accessory? a 12v switch?

be careful.... today your doing an amp rack, tomorrow you will have every panel replaced in your car, and you'll buy a gravity feed HVLP Gun, get to be on a first name basis with your autobody supply shop salesman, and you'll start doing insane setups in your friends' cars because you'll run out of things to do to yours :-P

It is addicting though... i started with a simple system and some glassing in a friend's car... now im a glass fiend lol.. a simple Amp install, and now im installing computers in cars with housing and monitor bezel fabrication. Watch out IT COULD BE YOU NEXT!! lol

but that is a very nice amp rack.. keep it up
