Usually an amp rack will be an additional cover that goes around the amps and covers the wires, etc. You don't want to cover the amps themselves due to heat.

You could also put a small computer type fan in the enclosure to help keep the amps cool couldn't you?

I've seen it before, but not necessary unless you are really drawing a lot of power on big systems.

Jeff, I just got my hands on one of these...now I have a dumb question. It's just a flat piece of aluminum so how do you "mount" headunit to it?

Thanks,
Jeff

you did not get the complete mount

there is the Face piece which you have, then there is a nice CNC bracket you mount the radio in that has the mounting tabs for the install.

Basically that actual CNC'ed mount if hard to find so you need to get creative on that piece

I figured that I had gotten lucky...guess not.

I might see if I can adapt it to the Metra single din kit I have coming.
