opened up the truck
Image

took out the seats
Image

Mocked the console out of Cardboard for size and fit.
Image

traced out my outline on to 3/4 MDF
Image

then I cut it out
Image

with a little help from my christmas present
Image

Then I clamped them together to make sure the edges were close
Image

then I screwed my pieces together to check it out
Image

and here's the back

I don't know how much they be is actually. I've only made them for my boss so far, and he pays for everything...


so if someone were to want one, they'd have to get with me and discuss options. like, would you want it covered or smoothed and painted, do you want a sub and amp in it, do you want cup and junk and shit holders. lots of stuff I guess.

but I'd say it'd prolly start around the buck fifty for a bare bones painted one to 350 or more for a covered and loaded one.

I might could maybe do that. we might have to work on the ported box part though. I don't know a whole lot about ported boxes. Especially in odd shapes. maybe I can do some research though.

I have a program that will help you get the air space you need for each sub. It was tell you for sealed and ported boxes.

but will it do odd shapes? cuase I can figure it out for squares and stuff, just not weird shapes like on console box. cause there's no way I can just go straight back. but if you get it close it will still hit though.

Check me out, bringin back a thread that's almost two years old!

it's ready for pookie! but I gotta go home :(


man I'll tell you guys what, this freakin thing is being a hell of a learning curve, there's all kind of things I've learned I've done wrong. but none of it is structural stuff, just "would have made it so much easier" stuff. but I'm pickin away at it again, trying to get at least ONE of my projects finished.

Man that thing is looking nice. I'm contemplating right now whether to do a small console like that or do 4 buckets in my c/c and do a long center console to the back wall...
