For any of you fellow Navigator owners out there, I have always left an open space beneath my Navigator, because I didn't want to take off the rubber feet, and becuase it has one or two large honking screw heads on the bottom, and it looks like they will gouge the top of whatever goes directly underneath the Navigator. But, I'd really like to cut back to a 6 space rack, and to do so, I would not be able to leave any open spaces with my current configuration (PL-Plus, MDB-1 and ULXS14, Navigator, and PLX 3002).

Have you guys had much luck putting something directly underneath of your Navigator? Did the screws scratch the gear underneath? Did you take the rubber feet off? If so, how did that go?

Any advice (and shots of racks with Navigators in them!) would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tom.

My Nav sits right on top my PLX3002 in my rack, no rubber feet. No discernable scratching aside from normal rack rash, but I don't take it in and out of the rack ever, I just leave it in.

Note: If you are going to have another unit right above the Nav, consider drilling some side-vent holes to the Nav's left side, right next to the tube . . .

Thanks for the reply, and good point about ventilation for the tube. Did you do this? Any photos, if you did?

I've got a fairly new Navigator (WP-100), that's about a year old. Mine didn't come with rubber feet on the bottom, I just put on the (supplied) rack ears and installed it. I've got a PL-Plus, RT7200 Tuner, NAV and PLX1602 in a six space SKB rack and have zero issues, no scratching...no probs....

If that helps any....

Yes, it does! Thanks.

Eric, did yours come with the rubber feet? If so, did you remove them?

I just pulled my rubber tootsies off. Still have them in a baggie but I think that you can buy new ones if the old ones get messed up. I don't recall the screws that you are referring to :confused: But I remember it not being an issue when I pulled the Nav to send to Todd V. for the Basstasters site. I hate rack rash so I'm on the anal side when pulling stuff in and out of my racks. Mine sits right on top of my Stewart 2.1. ;)
