Got any pics you can share and is red out of the color spectrum? I figured you'd go with a red trim and red carpet inside the box. With the smoked plexi it would look pretty cool, if I got your setup imagined right.

if that's your planned color scheme how about adding some LED fans and some cool fan gaurds to help the airflow and design. That design is awesome btw. should like pretty damn impressive when done.

Led fans and grills are for computers

I was going to show off the crossovers and distro block but I think that would be tacky

I want something simple, clean and elegant, but still shows off the equipment, much like the cars in the car audio mags.... oh ya its gotta be stealth too

yea true just a thought since you'll need some air flow in there.Then there is neon and all the blingy crap you could do, but that's not what you're going for. Elegant ehh... Wires hide inside the box coming out through the box to the distro then back inside. Could also recess them and have a plexi/aluminum trim window for them. One under each of the outside amps right for power and left side for ground. That would look nice.

It should be fairly easy. I think if you cut the end caps to shape and inner supports the exact same size you'll have the ground work for the overall shape. Then you'll just need to cut the long panels with angled edges. Buy a angle finder, long straight edge ruler, and a good heavy circular saw.

For me a Pencil and draft paper with about 4 dr. peppers and a pile of scrape wood and I'm good to go.
