Default Custom Centre console build

Hey guys, had a mate looking to take up no boot space whatsoever, wanted a fair bit of extra bass and wanted it as tight as possible...didnt have to be mega loud...but just nice so when he listens to his Raggae and dubplate, theres enough presence there on the bottom end...

after ummming and ahhh-ing, we decided to build everything into a centre console...the console will also house a custom switch panel for a few of his toys which will be details later on

Plan = 3 Ascendant Audio Assassin 8's, custom enclosure, perspex panel, switch panel...and lot of boom boom boom!

Right, after measurements were taken, it was time to get cutting

MDF panel cut to size


Marked up ready for panel to be cut out






Box built up


Were going OLD SKOOL! LOL




Test fit


You cant see in the pics, but the side panels needed cutting to clear the backrest levers, ill get some better pics of this as the build continues

Just waiting on the perspex panel to arrive...but before thats here, the box will be flocked to blend in with other panels

LED's are all fully wired up and work very well!

Tomorrow everything should be dry and ready to go!

Some pics of the finish...



Slots for backrest position


Side slots to help the bass come out as subs are firing down to the floor


You can see the next project with a spare wheel install in the background lol


It is actually black..but changes to dark blue in certain light
