That was creative how the amp rack bracket was bolted to the metal tab in the cubby.

well, no. I wanted to see what it sounded like without one first, and add it if nessecary.
I was suprised at how good it sounds without one. Im getting plenty of power from the headunit to keep them from being muffled by the subs. so, for now, im just going to keep it that way. Maybe add another amp later, who knows.

That is almost identical to the system that I want... how much did that box cost you if you don't mind me asking?

looks good, but did you lose or forget to put the trim rubber pieces back on the subs.
p.s. - go ahead and get a small 4 channel to run the mids and highs
