Looks good; nice and stealthy. What about cooling those puppies?

I'm not sure about your Alpine amps but, I believe that the "old-school" A/D/S amp did not have an internal [built-in] fan. As you know, a happy amp is one that is running cool -- much like your KO3's.

If you ever plan to compete in an IASCA car stereo competition, you will probably lose points for not providing adequate ventilation / cooling to your amps. Food for thought.

Ciao.

does it slide out? How does it lock again?

I don't understand how you explained the locking mechanism. How do the steel bars keep the rack from sliding out when you take off? Also, do you have any pictures of it with the rack slid out? Thanks. I have to say, this is definitely an inspiration for me for my next car. Beautiful!
