The Rack, The History – and StuffRe-working my woofer pods I was looking at my amp rack. I created this in 2006 at the same time as the pods and while it served it’s purpose, it has long needed a complete overhaul. It was constructed of MDF mounting two amplifiers. The problem is that it sits there and that is about it. Getting to it to do something as simple as replacing a fuse is a real pain. |

This is where I put my amps back in 2006. |

Vertical Clearance
I should mention that this 6-1/2″ would be the maximum for the amp rack + amps. I would want some additional clearance beyond that to prevent any scraping at the top. |
Design
If the cover is left off of the compartment then the entire rack could be moved forward until the front edge of the rack and the front edge of the compartment opening would be the same. This would mean part of the frame would be proud of the opening – but that would reduce the required depth to about 16-1/4″(just the translucent pink area).
