I see you got the old school XTR's. I used to have a set of those too, i loved them until i blew the crap out of them. Good choice on the subs.

Nice innovative setup. I like the different-ness of it. Though, it could be a little more symmetrical. Make sure those supports are strong enough to keep that amp up there for all the bumps you hit. And keep the wiring out of site if you can.

Okay, thanks. Any thoughts on how to hide the RCA's? The supports should be plenty strong, I've got three 1/4" bolts holding the back of it up and the front is 2 1/4" pieces of rod that is double-nutted on the top and bottom.

Looks good I've done similar setups in the past I'm a fan of mounting that way. Only suggestions I have is to round the edges of that plexi, center the amp, and reroute the wiring on the front looks like rca's. Also is the rear of the plexi attached to anything or just resting on the box? Just being picky either way looks cool nice job.

There are two ways I see to do it. One would be to remout the amp with the side facing out instead of an end. I know it would suck to have to change the mount and all. So you might want to just get similiar colored wire, or spray paint the rca's WHITE/ silver (I can't tell what color the amp is) so that they blend easier. Once they are color coded you can route them under the amp and out of sight.

I can't mount it sideways, it won't fit between the side and the speaker in the middle. I'll try painting the RCA's. Thanks for the help, and thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

Instead of painting them, put some wire loom over them, and zip tie them up out of the way. ------------- My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

Why not just run them under the amp and back? I know its plexi but who sits down to view the bottom of your amp anyways? If your worried about pinching the wires just use spacers.
