How to rackmount ashdown head?

[Electricblue]

I was thinking of putting a rack together, but my Ashdown MAG300 head isn't the rackmount version. How would I go about mounting it?

You wouldn't. Only rack mountable heads, with rack ears, go in rack cases. You'd have to re-build the whole chassis, and remove the amp from it's head case.

Are you sure there isn't some kind of sleeve or shelf I can use? It can't be impossible?

Just put the Ashdown on top of the rack.

that is actually not true at all. I have rackmounted several pieces of non rackmountable gear, from a couple tube DI's and pedals, to much larger heavier amp heads, currently have my acoustic image amp and a REDDI in my rack. I just attach them to 2 or 3u rack shelves depending on the size and weight through the screw holes where the feet go on the gear. just takes a little creativity but pretty much anything thats under 19 inches wide can be rackmounted easily. I use shelves like this Invalid Link Removed

BINGO. Exactly what he said. They make rackmountable shelves with bolt patterns and/or slots cut into the floor of the shelf. Nuts and bolts or giant plastic zip ties will hold anything just fine.

I bought a pair of standard 2U ears & they only needed a few washers each side to fit the MAG400 into a rack.
