An if you really want to do it right, add a rack panel with your inputs and outputs on the back of the rack so you never have to reach inside of the rack (keeps everything safe from getting inadvertently screwed up).
Shameless plug for Bruce's rack panel creation.
P.S. I'm gonna get materials to start my own.

I've definitely built a few of those for bands/venues around town over the years. His would be simple - Two XLR Inputs, Two XLR outputs for the Tops, One Speakon output to the sub. Nice and clean and doesn't have to be touched again.
If you are going to build one - get a Greeley Knock-out punch. 15/16" ........it's worth every penny. After years of using a step-bit to drill out those holes, I finally got smart.
In case the OP doesn't know what we're talking about.....here's a rack panel from an install in a local venue that I did.

Bruce, Bryan thanks again.
I did see that Crown amp, wondered if it would suffice. Check.
Not knowing anything practically about racks, was wondering if a 4U would work. Check.
Also, love the idea of a rack panel. I can fabricate that. Will start with the Greeley suggestion. Check.
Now .. just need some warmer weather (Iām in Vermont) so I can get out to the garage and start my dance with the PL.

Ha....I've been in the garage this morning making sawdust in short sleeves. Suppose to get to 80 today. I'd love to give you 10 degrees year-round. Sure would make summers more tolerable.
