Re: Amp rack patch panel - front or rear & whyYes, I've been using 2x4's to hold up the back end of my Crest Audio Pro 10004 amplifiers for a long time and it seems to work great! Though I have mine gaff taped into place, but I think the double sticky velcro would work better and look cleaner.It happens to be very convenient that a typical 2x4 is about 3.5" tall on edge... yet you can cut them to any length you need for any number of rack spaces PLUS the 1/8" to 1/4" of dead space at the bottom of the rack. Be SURE to measure the height you need and don't just assume you need 3.5" when you really need 3.75" to make it fit right.
