I wasn't aware that Middle Atlantic made 19" mounts for radios...

Are you looking simply for shelves that you can bolt the radios to? Or a complete mount with faceplate and all so it looks like a vehicle console?

VideoNerd:

Middle Atlantic will make a very nice 19" RSH series custom rack mount for just about anything. I used the Board's search function to look for "Middle Atlantic" and found some pictures I posted of some panels they did for me here: http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=11950

Scott:

I think I can give you a decent dealer referral or two. Let me check with some folks, and I'll PM you tomorrow. I get most of my Middle Atlantic stuff through pro audio houses, but they're usually pretty happy to sell me what I want.

The easiest way to do it is to just call Middle Atlantic, get all of the information for your mounts directly from them, and then just go to your dealer with the information in hand and say "They know all about this, just price and order it for me."

Thats the problem, did all the homework. went to 2 or 3 local dealers , gave them very detailed info including all part numbers. 2 weeks no luck from any of them. I guess they dont want my business. Humhed - thanx i will wait to hear back from you

Radioinstl-

Here is an idea that I found works well. I had a similiar problem to you. No one would call me back and when they did they wanted a ton of money for making the panels. So, I ordered a couple of blank panels from Tessco and the necessary mounting brackets from Troy Console, I am sure others would work too. I took my trusty saber saw and cut opening for the brackets and mounted the radios. I was quite pleased with the results. If you would like some picks, pm me and I would be happy to send them to you.
