Remember this rack I made some couple of years ago, complete with a sub compartment that turned out to be a bad idea??

It's since morphed a handful of times, being disassembled and reassembled to accommodate various redesigns.

Well, I believe I've morphed it for the last time, with the sub located behind the seats, the front stage now looks like this;

    I know everyone has their way of setting things up the way they like it. I think it looks great the way you have it now (3rd pic) if i had the room (minus office doorway) i would set a rig up that way & bridge 2 amps :) might hide the cables more. looks great,nicely set up.
