I need a 4 space rack that has a total depth with the lids off to be no more than 12 inches. I can't really tell from most of the descriptions. They say they're 10.25" one way and 14.25" another way and I don't know what the heck they mean. I have between 10" and 12" to work with on top of my combo. With the lids off, the total box can't have a longer depth than 12". Anyone know which shallow racks qualify?

Sure enough. The SKB shallow X rack should do the trick for you nicely. Depth is only 10.375 inches:

That's rackable depth -- what'll fit inside. I just measured two of mine. They're ~ 11 9/16" with the front lid off. The 14 1/4" measurement is with the lid on. The back lid doesn't protrude, so it's the same measurements with it on or off.

Jimmy,

There's an older SKB model EFX rack that's only 9 3/4" deep with the lids off. I have one of those that I'd happily sell off if it'd work better for your purposes. It's in good condition, but it's a kind of an ugly gray w/black speckled finish. I think they may have come in all-black too? Anyhow, PM me if you're interested.

Gator males shallow versions of their racks too. I was torn between the shallow 4 space and the 4 space gig bag rack. I went with the gig bag in the end as I really wanted a very portable set up that would be easy to carry in ine hand and not mark up the inside of my car.
