I want to install my amp rack basically a pice of wood across my roll bar legs as you see in the picture. How can I secure it on the bars without drilling holes ? Of course I can't drill holes in the bar so please I am open to ideas.

Thanks

Here’s an idea I have not seen anyone do yet in an S550:

Mount the amp upside down from under the package tray. It’s nearly concealed and won’t take up any cargo space, plus all wires can be zipped/hidden out of way very easily too.

That is how I have an old school PPI 5440 mounted in my 94 Cobra; when trunk is open, most don’t even see or realize there’s an amp in the trunk. I also have mini cooling fans mounted in between the rear package try and amp, drawing heat out of the amp - never ever has it clipped even under max load.

I do have lots of the room in the spare tire but the idea is too see the another once installed.

I want to say [MENTION=15779]z06psi[/MENTION] did that on his.

Niz55, I'm sure you could wrap something around the bars pretty tight.

u-bolts?

Something like this, maybe? https://www.amazon.com/Skywalker-SKYUC-U-Bolt-Assembly/dp/B00NCBTFSW

What's the diameter of the tube?


There are some sign post mounting brackets that might work too. Some are single sided and some are double-sided. They may be for posts that are larger diameter than your cage.

Single: https://www.amazon.com/Pipe-Post-Mounting-Brackets-Single/dp/B00AM3UKBE
Double: https://www.amazon.com/Round-Post-Mounting-Brackets-Signs/dp/B00AM7QHPI

Another single: https://www.amazon.com/Accuform-Accessories-Hardware-MOUNTING-BRACKET/dp/B07593YY77

I'd get whoever welded your roll bar in place to weld some flat tabs to it that you could mount the wooden amp rack to...

This.

Either weld 4 little tabs to the bars to mount a piece of wood or weld a sheet of metal across them to mount the amps on that.

Adel clamps around the roll bar tubes, then bolt to those. Should be sturdy enough and the rubber inserts in the clamps should keep it from slipping if they are the right size. Cheap and easy and it will work.

Search for Stangtime in this section. He laid it out. I forgot the measurements but I followed the ones he posted.
