The anchor points are only there to hold the rack from "hinging" inward, and even that force is pretty negligible. Psyclone: The structure touches the floor firmly all the way around, so the rack itself is supporting all the weight of the amps. I haven't had a problem with similar installs in the past. This boat has been in the rain and that wall has never gotten wet at all even though the rest of the boat was completely soaked (floor, etc.) I know it's possible, but I'm willing to take the risk I guess. I didn't want to use the 3M stuff because it sounds like that is super permanent and that could be trouble if I want to remove in the future.īrit and FJK: No particular reason on the MDF other than it's what I already had. I checked my test piece this morning and it was solid, so I went ahead used the Liquid Nails woodwork stuff. It’s killing me Larry!!!!!!!!! (obscure Sit 'N' Sleep reference.don't know if anyone will know what I'm talking about) Thanks for the help! Can’t wait to get this damn stereo done! Way too much to do and not enough time. Should I use the Liquid Nails general stuff? What about Gorilla Glue? What exactly are you guys using for amp racks, etc? I thought this stuff bonded after like 30 minutes? I’m wondering if there is a better choice for adhesive. After about an hour, I could feel the piece rotate a bit when I tested it to see how well it bonded. I did a test piece underneath my dash before I committed to the real thing. I figured that the woodwork-specific stuff would be the “right” choice as it recommends usage with MDF. I bought (2) types of Liquid Nails – the general adhesive and woodwork-specific. I plan to glue (2) 2” x 2” pieces of 3/4" MDF to the port side wall and then screw into that (it's not shown in the pictures below, but I added a little "L" piece off the rack on the inner verticals). I am building a semi-freestanding amp rack inside my observer compartment and need to anchor it at a couple points to keep it from moving (see pictures). Looking for the expertise of Wakeworld once again.
