Materials for amp rack....

Materials for amp rack....
After searching, "amp rack", "custom trunk", and "materials", I am pretty sure i got the design down for the system i have. What I am getting stuck on is the construction:
a) is plastic better than carpeted wood/mdf?
b) is fiberglass better than plastic?
c) do I have to worry about any fire hazards?
d) where is the best place to get these materials? Home Depot type stores or internet sites like Crutchfield?
Any assistance would be appreciated for the noob question...

in reference to fire hazards, other than keeping wires neat, would fireproof carpeting take care of most of my fire hazard worries?
Right now i am playing with replacing my one amp (bridged for the 4 6.5s) with a higher wattage multi-channel one, or keeping the present amp for the front two, and getting a second for the back two. Either way, i need to clean up the trunk, and was looking for something just to mount all the stuff to. Not really for show.
Thanks again

If all your really after is a neat way to hold the amps, a normal small mdf rack should be find, you can build it many different ways to hold them and still have the trunk even.
