One of my 'back of my mind' projects has always been a center console with an enclosed back to house a subwoofer. One of my newest customers is a cabinet maker, so I swapped some labor with me and he finally made my imagination a reality. The next step is to have it upholstered. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)
I can have these made, if people are interested, but they are labor intensive, so the bare box (as pictured) would cost around $300. If anyone is interested, let me know and maybe we can do a group buy and bring the price down. The guage panels are 'loose' to allow for upholstery. |

Wow. I'll try to keep my sarcasm under control.
1. I know the center console makes foot space tight. Were you astute enough to notice the scratches on the side from where my foot hit when I test fit it? 2. Mounting depth is not an issue, as mentioned earlier in this thread. The shallow 8" sub has a mounting depth of 2.5". I've used them before and know, for a fact, that they sound great to my ears. And my ears are the only ones I care about. 3. The grill will protrude to the passenger side. I thought this was obvious, but apparently it's not. 4. I know the frame of the speaker is bigger than the cone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) 5. I can't believe you just implied that I'm dumb enough to let a speaker box KILL ME! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) This isn't the first time I've built something custom. This isn't the first time I've been in a 914. Thanks for the worthless comment. |

Thanks for the worthless comment. sorry dude, did not intend to hurt your feelings and was not bashing your desighn... or assuming your anything, in fact to my error i was not even thinking of you or your 914 experience, i was only commenting on the troubles of making such speaker boxes. don't take it so personal. I apologize and will not comment where you tread .. peace out. |
