The sub woofer AMP (which is the only one that gets warm) has a built in fan. It is hidden behind the Silver trim piece. There is also a gap around the AMPs, that will allow the air the amp draws through the fan to circulate.

Amp Rack finished and ready to install. I was able to find matching vinyl. I padded it as well so it should look like it belongs there.... Do to space constraints I had to mount my sub amp upside down in order to run the wiring to it. Oh well.
How do you guys think it turned out?

Here are a few pics of my "mock up" Sub Enclosure. It will be made from 3/4" MDF. I will coat the entire box inside and out with fiberglass resin and will vinyl wrap (as it will be seen when accessing the port-a-pottie. It will contain 1 Kicker L7 12" Sub.
Yes, I know my garage is a freaking mess!!!! And I have no idea why the floor under the bead is so dirty.....
