What material to wrap amp rack in?

[SQMonte]

We've got a few votes but it's too close to pick a winner yet, keep those votes coming!

[SQMonte]

wow, it's even closer now, only one vote difference between "all suede" and "ostrich for the amp rack, suede for door inserts"

Keep em' coming!

[SQMonte]

still neck to neck, keep voting!

the ostrich/suede combo is starting to run away with it

Hope it goes well, I'm in favor of the Ostrich combo also.

Tell me about it. My build is taking longer than I thought it would, it's hard for me to get motivated when it's triple digits outside. But as we stand now I only need to install the deck, Stinger digital volt meter, wrap the amp rack, plug up the amps and it's done. I'm going to order the material for the amp rack this weekend, if not sooner, so make sure you vote cause whatever you guys pick is what i'm gonna go with.

I did the last little bit I could do to it this weekend, ran power and remote leads, RCA's, installed my bass knob and finished my amp housings. Damn man, running that damn power lead sucked big time! Wasn't fun at all but I got it done. Maybe I should update my build thread...

Hope it goes well, I'm in favor of the Ostrich combo also.

Nice. I didn't think the Ostrich would be a popular choice but it's gettin' some love. Edited August 4, 2009 by SQMonte

Maybe this will help you guys decide what color/material to go with

This is where my amp rack will be installed

These are the materials/colors to choose from

And here's a pic of the face of the amp rack w/the amps mocked up and the material layed out so you can get an idea what it'll look like

that suede looks very familiar.

I got some that looked just like that but once I put it in it looked sort of purple.

but theres no pad underneath the suede on my doors.

on the top section I just cut between a half inch to an inch over the stencil I made and tucked it in.

the bottom is carpet and thats where I had to glue because there was no where to tuck in the material

did you get your suede from distinctivefabric.com? I've looked at it in halogen, flourescent and daylight and it hasn't looked purple at all. I think I'll take it and check it out in the car to see if it has any hint of purple to it.

Glad you said no on the padding, I could see that making this way more difficult than it's already gonna be.
