Good Place to mount speakers

Looks pretty good! How is the sound from that speaker placement? And more importantly, can you get a pic of the top of the console? I'd like to see it from that view.

MandarinSixSeven · 07-01-2003, 08:06 PM

ya I too want to know the materials and dimensions...I've been wanting to make one like that for a while now but didnt know if it would look good...but yours does, so you have inspired me

Ok Here is what i used:
3/4" plywood.
About 3 feet of 2x4's for bracing
Sides are covered in carpet
Top is covered vinyl.
For cup holders i went to Wal-Mart and found mesh pencil holders( there great they can even hold the really big drinks from Mc donalds)
The Holder thing on the back i picked up at Wal-Mart for about 2 bucks
Overall problaly cost me about 30 bucks.
The Dimensions
I used card boear to mock it up( worked great for the angle going toward the front.)
It is about 40" long
11" wide Outside
Inside it is 9 1/2 " wide
And it is 8" tall
For the gap from back of the console to the back of the truck i made a little panel so i can access my amp
Anything i missed
