don't laugh too hard I'm still a noob, and I have two poorly built center consoles to prove it. suggestions are welcome as long as they're sugar coated! haha. Anyway! ON TO THE PICS!

the location and base

I wanted it to NOT stick out past the wheel tub, gotta be able to carry my puppy dog cages.

the worst circle cutter known to man!

where "abouts" the sub will go.

and this project will not be updated as often as I like, because I do it all after 10 hours a day of workin at a paint and body shop, and when the wife will let me.

you know it kinda is. everyone always complains about how itchy it makes you, but I haven't had any problems with it really.

I got the speaker ring CA glued into place. and took some pics(will post later), now I'm making a rib cage for it so my fabric will have the shape I want. then I'll fabric the cloth up, and start glassin.

Looking good. I love doing FG. I've made a couple speaker boxes for my 4-wheelers, fun yet time consuming. Also, what type of fleece are you using?

it's not fleece, it's a material called ponte. it's got a good amount of stretch to it, but is still a pretty firm fabric. it's good stuff!
