I have two amps that I want to show....
get a length of metal tubing round or square... and weld one end to a plate (like a base) so that it can stand up... then cut it off at say 20cm long on a 45 degree angle and then weld another plate on just big enough to sit the amp on... so that it looks like the amp is sat on a 45degree angle on a post and the cables run through the tube so you dont see them?? that way I dont have to damage the side panels... and the amps dont get scratched... (maybe even out of stainless steel or aluminium???)

Use MDF or ply , make a new 'false' floor with a spare wheel hole , fit all amp racks etc to the 'false' floor , once trimmed with carpet , same colour as boot , it looks like it was standard fitment .
I can't see for what reason you will damage the side panels ...... and if you want to be flash with the amps , mount them under a perspex cover , light them up with neons and do cool them with fans (only needed if you conceal them , as they will get hot!) .
just an idea ....... All above materials are readily available from car audio shops/DIY stores.
Hope this helps.

Nate...
Been there seen that done that... To be honest I think they look tacky.. besides my last boot was unusable... and I want something different... and as the amps will be higher up.. the boot is still practical!
Chiark..
Thats the idea I was hoping for.. gonna call in at machine mart and B&q tommorow.. as i think they sell nice looking metal tubing... (all mine in my scrap box is scratched or rusty..
May even get it powder coated same as the amps... there is a good place in morley that did my old cars wheels.
Might even post some pics if it looks ok!
