    Amp Mounting

    I am going to mount my amps on the back wall in my truck. Now I have a few ideas of how I am going to do it but I have a a few questions. Is the back wall a double layer? How thick is the back wall steel thickness wise and over all if it is a double layer? Should I leave a slight gap between the amps for a little more air circulation?
    Step 1. crus at it.
    Step 2. get a hammer.
    Step 3. torch it.

    Get a sheet of 1/2" MDF, cut to size of the back wall, and mount using strips of industrial strength velcro. No holes through the back wall this way. I did it on my truck and it held up great for 6 years.

    Tried that in my 69 and the glue on the back of the velcro kept melting in the summer heat. Make sure you get the good stuff.

    I never had a problem with it, even with the hot AZ summers.

    I don't know which brand, but I got it at Home Depot. They were really wide strips, something like 2" or so.

    cut wood strips to put inbetween the 'indents' in the back wall
    then get a 1/4 inch thick wood piece and hot glue nail it to the back wall
    put sound deadening over that.
    get 1/4 inch wood screws and attach
