Vertical Amplifiers Support
On the back of the trunk we will find a couple of amplifiers, in vertical position and angled 20º one from the other. Their support it's been made of 16mm thick MDF Board.
First of all I cutted the vertical walls of the support, the angle was obtained with an electric saw, with variable cutting angle, the pieces obtained were glued and screwed together.
To keep them strong together, some adesive tape was used...
...some other elements were cutted and tested on the trunk before final assembly...











After some tests with the amps on, everything was screwed and finished. I draw the lines to cut some windows on the board, to keep them lighter...
As it was made for the first supports, a window was cutted out where the amp is going to be fixed in order to allow some ventilation for it...

...finally I drilled the holes for wiring the amps, through rubber rings to protect them from accidental cut or damaging...





After primer, sandpapering and laquering, the back side of the support was upholstered with moquette matching the original VW gray...



And then back to the trunk, I started fixing amplifiers and wiring.
