I Need to Mount Amps ON WALL+++


Any suggestions for racks that are designed to mount on the wall? This is the only solution to keep expensive , hot components away from the prying hands of my two youngsters. I have looked through a few catalogues (audio advisor, music direct) with no luck. I suppose I could rig a floor rack........thank you....Mark

TWL is right on target!!!
Children can learn not to touch, mine did. It's also good for them.
You could always get an audio cabinet with ventilation and a lockable door.
Yeah, I agree. Tie a scorpion to your tonearm or place a thousand upturned, sharpened brass cones around the audio rack. The kids WILL learn.
thanks for the good suggestions, guys, i think commercial shelving is the way I will go. My amps arent too heavy, and I am a good handyman. And TWL, i bet you dont have kids. By the way, this is the second time you have scolded me out here, the first was for a MC/MM post. You said the answer was already posted a day earlier. Keep it up, we need characters like you.....happy holidays to all....Mark
Mythtrip, if you insist on the shelving, perhaps you can tie the power cord into a loose knot around a bracket or something.
Sorry Mythtrip, I'm not always that cranky. Merry Christmas.

Personally, I think that raising the heavy amps up high can be more potentially dangerous, than having them low, or on the floor. If they are up high, they can cause serious injury if they fall on a little one. If they are very low, or on the floor, they have no potential for falling on anyone, and any injury would only be to the amp, not the person.

Locked, ventilated cabinets recommended above may be good.

And no, I don't have kids of my own, but I do have to contend with my sister's kids, which were never well trained and she pays for it every damn day, and so does everyone else in the house. She did not train them at the proper time, and now she has what she has.

Also, even though my comments may have been harsh, the basis has validity. Children are quick learners. You can easily teach them to do what you want. They are highly intelligent compared to dogs and cats, and I have 4 cats and a 120 pound Rottweiler, and not one of them ever lays a paw on any of my audio gear. Even when I am not home, or through the night. And it is all within easy reach of any of them at all times. And no, I have never beaten any of them, and I love them. So I contend that since children are much more capable learners, it should be easy for them and you to handle this. I apologize for wording it bluntly. But I have watched what happens if this is not done, and it only gets worse.
