I made a "console" so I could mount some 6x9 speakers on the
sides. I had been planning to make an iPod mount for the front since I have an Alpine head unit that can control my iPod. I spent Saturday making some things out of wood that I covered with vinyl, but I wasn't happy with the outcome. So I went to Lowe's looking for some sheet metal that I could fab up as a sleeve type of holder. Then I had a brainstorm to use some drawer pulls. I'm pretty happy with this solution. Anybody else mount an ipod? How did you do it? Attached image(s)

Neat trick! Alpine has some kick ass head units.

I have always loved Alpine head units. Well built, but always on the higher end of the pay scale and they seem to wait long after a technology is proven to impliment it in their units.
