Thanks guys. No progress yet today. Been helping my daughter with her school project all morning, and now at my other daughters soccer game. Got a little more project to do after this, then its awn!!!

My hopes is to get the enclosure close to ready for install today. We'll see how it works out.

Dang gum bro. I didn't know so much happened while I was down. Really nice work man

Thanks Billy.

I had a pretty good afternoon.

But I'm just crumbling tonight. Things are not going as planned. I have to walk away for a bit and then come back I think.

I'm very unhappy right now. Flustered, whatever you wanna call it.

Ok guys I may have to make a change. The 1100.4 and the 3sixty will not fit in the back seat the way I'd like it to. It looks very unbalanced and I just don't like it. I've toyed with getting rid of the second 1100.4 and I may just do that now. Here are a couple of options I'm playing with at the moment.

This is the layout. Two things that are bugging me. First is the balance. Its not balanced. That big ass amp is just overpowering the size of the 3sixty. So that's an issue for me. Second is the height of the amp vs the depth of the seat. If I remember correctly I have a total of about 2 1/4" depth in the seat. I have 2 3/4" of height on the amp. That's a half inch difference. Not bad, except, I don't want to remove all the backing on the seat. Plus I need to put a piece of 1/2" ply in there for mounting. Its all doable cause I accounted for the space in case I had to surface mount it by moving the enclosure back 3". But it's mainly the in balance of it that's buggin me the most.

The second option is to remove the 3sixty from the rear seat, and center the 1100.4. I still have the depth issue, but I can deal with that as I already said. So what about the 3sixty?

It would go in back over the two 3500's. It would mount on a piece of plexiglass and hover above the amps, not just rest on top of them. At some point lighting will come into play, but not right now I don't think. Not the biggest fan of this, because I think it takes away from the look of the amp rack and amps. ALOT of work went into this rack, and I'm not sure I like how this fits or doesn't fit into the equation. I think the jury's still out on this one.

The third option, and quite frankly the option that is very quickly growing on me, is ditching the 1100.4, and selling it, and picking up another Rockford Fosgate T600.2. Would lay out on the back seat like this, except I need a second one for the other side. I know for a fact these will fit in the seat no problem. Plus the theme will still be the same here with all RF. Crescendo in the trunk, DC in the middel, and Fosgate on the seat. I like it. But I'm not sure if I can get a second one for a reasonable price. If you have one, let me know and let's see if we can work something out.

I do have other pics from today, but I'm tired, and my head hurts from thinking about this. I still may be able to get it to look ok with the RCA's etc and sort of spread out the 3sixty's looks a bit. But I wont' know till tomorrow. Night guys.

Option #1: That 360.3 is in the way and annoying. Send it to me and I'll take care of it

Option #2: Crescendo Symphony series. Small footprint and matches your other amps. Just ask them to hurry up and release them... I'm thinking about them myself.

Option #3: Its just a processor, hide it. I'm eventually going to get one and will probably hide it. Don't cover up those big sexxay amps with a little plastic case. Or throw it on the trunk lid like Meade since it doesn't produce much heat.

Symphony series?! You have peaked my interest! Please tell me more?

I thought u were going to bed LOL

Anyhow.. I was looking around and 'Nendo is making smaller Class D amps. You might wanna see this..

"Current Symphony series line up is a 600/1, a 1200/1, an 800/4, a 500/2, and a 1200/2 . A 6 channel is still in the developmental stages, but coming soon."
