Looks like you have about the same space as my -7. Backup batteries are on the panel supports that come from the firewall back.

One thing that frustrates me is that I wish there were an easier to way to stack boxes on top of each other. Think NYC buildings vs. Montana. It would save some space. I did my best and stacked a few items, but the manufacturers do not make this easy on us with connectors here or there and different box sizes, even within the same manufacturer.

I just went through this process. If Dynon positioned the D connectors facing up it would make the placement a whole lot easier. In fact for two of the connectors I'll be using a 90 degree D-sub adapter. Assume you're going to need 4 or 5 inches out from the connectors for the harnesses to fit. The 9-pin connectors require a little less. Very annoying.

I can't vouch for these 90 degree adapters yet. I just ordered two of them the other day.

25-pin example:

Curious to see how those 90's work, should be just fine.

Thanks for al the tips. I think I will try to make some AL plates and perhaps stack some of the components. Somewhat like the Dynon ADAHRS stacking plate that Dynon issued after I built the tray in the back for mine.

Any time I need to work behind the panel I'll just pull a screen, should be a big enough hole to work on just about anything on the sub panel.

Default net adapter location

Like your new design, I put txpder in back too, keeps antenna cable short and isolates antenna from COMs and ADSB antenna, the latter for me is going to bottom center just behind fire wall a few inches. I am putting 5-place net center off right F-1045, using space otherwise going to "waste". I decided to mount ADAHRS up front on bracket, using remote magnet sensor. This seems to save on 1/4" pitot/static/AOA lines for my install (I have steam gauge airspeed panel). The GTN-650 penetrates F1068 if you install above F-1003B, I have cut hole for that with support, angle on the bottom with rubber on F-1068. I am going with one remote/stand by PC680 battery on firewall so I can use it for starting too, if needed. Also using veneer/cables, flown a lot of quadrant equipped singles/twins and sure like the veneer for mixture/prop fine tuning. So makes it a bit easier to route control cables. Quads look cool, but to me, much less functional in the cockpit, just a personal choice we all make (and its cool we can!!). Sure loved the Dynon setup in the RV7, looking forward to many many hours in the RV-10 with their flawless performance!
