custom center console box w/ pics

just finished last week. really my first center console box build and i think it came out pretty nice. customer wanted to keep his original center console so i had to basically cut it in half to keep the height to the same level as the armrests. then i had to make a beauty trim ring to cover where i had to cut it and to help mount it. the subs are 10" crossfire C3's. also had to color match the carpet to his truck.

Very nice work!Support the12volt.com

Looks good, how does it sound?Advanced

it sounds nice for what it was. the subs arent that great but it did hit pretty hard for two 10's on a JL audio 300/2. the box had roughly 1.2 cubic feet of airspace and was stuffed with polyfill. i was barely able to get enough depth for the subs to go in, probably only 1/4 inch extra from the back of the sub to the box. i could have made it bigger but i had a specific set of requirements from the customer that limited how big i could go, such as the console on top of the box limited how tall i could build the box. and he didnt want to block his 12v sockets you see in the last picture so i had to angle the front of the box to bring it down from 12" wide to 8" wide. all in all it was a very tight fit.

why did he put cheap subs in the box?

lots of reasons, one being that not everybody needs super expensive equipment to get what they want. another reason was they fit my airspace needs and they hit pretty hard in a small sealed box. why do you think those subs are cheap? there is nothing wrong with those subs. true they aren't top of the line but they are better than a lot of stuff out there in the same price range. just curious but what subs would you have put in there?

is it what he dragged in ?

no, we sold him the subs. is there a point that you are trying to make? let me guess, you would have used kicker, right?

Hey I have kicker-- but thats not important Was really curious because when a owner stumbles across pictures of his truck online and after hearing how much he will love the subs that are purchased that in fact he finds out that his kick ass system -" aint All that" by the people that built if- well I imagine It would chap his butt just a little.. especially if he told you guys that he had a set of JL's sitting on the shelf that he could use.. By the way before i left it was making a very very loud popping- very deep and loud- not static but more like a short that goes threw the entire system
