[QUOTE="Steve White, post: 215375, member: 12457"] Frank, what did you use to thread into for the aluminum angle rear amp supports? I'm working up a custom solution for several racks with Crown's in them. For materials I went the 1/8" aluminum angle and some 1/4" aluminum plate and picked up some 1/4-20 rivet nuts to use for stainless cap screws through the amp support brackets. Never used them before, thought they pressed in from the back side, upon further research found out they go in from the front and require a puller - so I ordered a puller that should work ok. Going to use 1/4-20 stainless socket head cap screws with hex interface. At one point I was considering threading the aluminum and didn't want that much of a threading project, so ordered the rivet nuts.

I'll put some pictures up when I get one finished. The electrical looks great, nice and clean. Did you encase the rear of the panel? That's another thing I'm giving consideration to doing.
