My NEW amp rack

I decided it wasnt worth having the other one painted, since I really didnt love the way it looked. It was OK...But not the look I wanted, and I wanted to use this larger amp to accomadate my new sub...so I started a new rack today.

Giant bundle of wires that make everything work.

Well, I stretched some fleece and used up the little bit of resin I had left this morning. Here are some pics of it drying.

I trimmed the excess and test fitted the amps...here it is. Now just a few layers of glass, some bondo, and then time to paint!

What do ya think?

This looks quite nice. However if you are going to paint it you may want to sand it smooth. When I get my xB, I know I am building a raised amp rack.

LOL! That isnt even glassed yet, just resin on cloth. It needs to be glassed, Bondo'ed, THEN sanded before paint....

It's not hard bro...

Build a box with mdf, staple some fleece to it, resin it up and then fiberglass. It's more tedious than anything.
