Jack,
Nice set-up. The VX cutout to show off the amps is really cool. Can't wait to see it.

pbkid,
setup is looking great, you talked about relocating the amp cause it messed up the vx...im thinking you mean how the pattern of the amp shows thru, so im also guessing that you dont mind the amp not being seen, heres what im saying. instead of relocating amp under the seat, maybe take a look at formica laminate, and find a pattern you like and just cover the amp up, and defining your vx cutout more. am i making sense? im not being critical, just trying to help you in your delema. that kinda stuff bugs me too. there is also tinted plexiglass, or just use window tint.
ill end now....good job

I'm thinking raising the false floor slightly (another inch or so) and putting some colored light inside might help to display the amp a little better. Overall it looks pretty decent! I actually was thinking you had done something a little different, but I'm not going to give away my idea just yet because I might want to use it.
If you do go with moving the amp under the seat, be sure to test fit the amp first before you commit. It looks like there is a lot of room there, but it's pretty tight with the seat slider mechanism. If you run into height issues I've got a trick that you can use to give you another 1-1/2" of clearance under the seats (but your seats will sit up higher, of course... not an issue for me at 5'9", but may not be an option for taller guys).

Jack,
great work, mang. I'm sure I'll get a chance to see it soon.
I'm not quite sure I understand the need to place the amp under the seats. If you can, I'd keep them all in the back... just my .02
Thanks for the pics!

Looks great - LEDs inside would help a bunch and not add any heat or noise. I'd tuck the Cap under there too or remove it all together as they really do not add much if any to the system - if you don't have a strong alternator and battery, it is a band aid at best.
We just finished a number of competition vehicles for the TX Heatwave and NONE of them or the competitors had Caps. I'm running 2200 watts in the ML and with 1/0 wire and a yellow top and I have no dimming or problems.

BTW: The amp rack have some sort of ventilation? Fans maybe?

wow great ideas everyone...tone i tried not using a cap and it really dimmed the headlights really bad...thats only a 1.2 farad cap so its not huge...yea the plans are to put some leds in there to light it up a little bit so i can see it better at night. i just dont want it to be too distracting at night in the back window. i have already found that i can see the cap glowing in my rear view...yea my boss was saying the same thing as you though, that i needed to hide it because it was kinda ugly.
and biju, yea im working on getting 2 computer fans on it right now. one intake and one exhaust for cooling.
