    Looking for an amp rack either under seat or behind back seat. Possibly an under seat version by T A C O Tunes version.

    Hey man, I made one very easily I am happy with, and it was so cheap. Lowes will cut plexiglass to size for you, drill 4 holes in the corners. I used rubber scientific stopper plugs with holes drilled through the center for little feet for the corners, easily cut to the right height as the floor under the seat is not perfectly level, and also to clear your amp. I did not feel it necessary to bolt it to the floorboard or seat bolts, I instead cut small slits in the carpet and fed bolts with wide washers on them through the slits in the carpet, throught the rubber feet, sheet of plexiglass on top, to the amps four corner mounting points. It does move at all and keeps it elevated over the vent. I had the plexiglass on hand from something else as well as the plugs so it cost next to nothing to do and was a fun afternoon

    These are the only photos I have of it. I wish I could’ve gotten it a bit higher but it’s a taller and wider amp so this was the best way to configure it and have full range of motion of the seat. Rcas cross over to under the passenger seat to a small line out converter that doesn’t need a rack. While I wish the rack was taller, it is still .5-.75 inches off the ground allowing air flow out of the vent

    Works, hides, was absolutely so cheap. I spent less than $2 having some stuff already that was really not expensive to begin with. I was seconds away from buying an amp rack from TT with my wiring, ran with out one for a couple months, almost bought one again but luckily thought of this and was so glad I saved the $70 plus shipping

    I made one out of HDPE and some aluminum, super easy, super cheap, and its keeps the amp above the floor vents. It slides right under the seat tracks and is held down by the seat bolting over it.

    Ignore ugly wires, I have since replaced the RCA cables with nice ones, and loomed all the power wires.
