Looks like you have ~1" between the bumpers and the wheels. Consider pushing your wheels out a bit further. That'll give you more room inside the base for your electronics.

Why not stand the battery upright? The bumpers will extend to the top of the battery anyways, and you gain a bunch of space back.

The 20/30 amp fuses are hard to get to and see. Move the radio up a lot, or somewhere else.

Considering that the electronics will change next year, can you get models of them and try fitting them into your base instead? That'll be more valuable (and they are smaller!)
