Here's a picture of metal frames(3/4inch thick) being welded for custom amp racks that will be sitting on plexi. The amps shape was restructured from previous shape to make more room for my custom fiberglass enclosures.

Time was also a factor because I did intend to make it to HIN on April 2nd & making the piece on top of the dash will give more time for the rest of the install but it looks like I'll miss HIN it by a week because I still have to go back to the bodyshop for my MS kit after my install is done & I need to get some new wheels.

Yes, it could be done.Replacing the stock radio, relocate the climate controls,& then fiberglass the kit for the new deck but it does take a lot of time & effort. Devoid's install did that with his Pioneer Dvd palyer deck.It turn out really good.I was in a hurry trying to make it for HIN & made an irrational decision to not go that route but it turned out ok in my opinion.Now that I'm not going to make it, I really regret not doing it the way Devoid did his since I put in alot of money for the install.
