LOVE!!!!! that color!

 

[BigDaddy13440]

Busted my center console/ jump seat a few weeks back, planned on building a center console.
Salvaged the frame of the jump seat, cut it apart to give me a mount for the bottom.
Never mind all the junk in it, been keeping all my shit in it while I've been working - and yes, I work out of my truck, hence all the Rockstar cans...

Started building up the front of the console, wanted it to angle to match the dash.
And, gotta have cup holders!!! Two holes, big enough for 4" port tubes - off center a little bit, rounded out the hole to make them even, then building up the hole with some tape.



But, SURPRISE!!! Ain't no way I'm going to waste all that space. Tucking (2) 10" subs in the front, sealed enclosure of just about 1.2 cu ft, will be running them in parallel at 2 ohm off a Kenwood 250 watt RMS amp. Will be just enough to bring the bass forward, instead of being waaaaay back in the back corner of the XL.



And in place:



And the cubby section:

And the two sections together...

A couple of decorative trim pieces, give some curvature to the console:





Oh yeah, made some 2" holes in the sides and back... going to put some of the blue LED's like @05Single does inside, make it glow....

And finally, the lid:



Have a little carpet left over from the rear subwoofer enclosure, wrapped the curves:



I have some darker gray (almost black) carpet I got from Parts Express, along with another 4" port, and some 2" ports I'm going to use to trim out the holes for the lighting. Also have some "alligator" vinyl I might wrap the lid in, all depends on how it comes together.

Wow, really nice job. That would be great in my Express work van! I could always use extra space, and something to rest my arm on. And I could eliminate my kicker box in the back. Great job.

Had 5 mins free time. Restored some plastics.

Before and after pics. Much more dramatic in person.

It actually would be too low for my van, unless I put some wood underneath.

Thanks . Happy to get some new shoes. But the highlight was putting on the HD grille. That trasformed the look in a big way.

Nice work, can't wait to see it finished.
