Unpredictableacts Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Ok well I had a project for a Poker buddy....he has a mid 90s GMC seirra. My goal was something not real stand outish but blends cosmetically. Also I was not to use any fiberglass, to keep the cost down. The new console would house a 10" 11kv.3 woofer and be tuned at 32hz. So lets begin....I want to so bad during this build to "get funky" but had to keep telling my self " nice and simple!" stock boring OEM console, only good for hiding illegal drugs and weapons in. and dusty from my shop. I built the console in 3 peices, the middle and the 2 sides.....to help me with a nicer vinyl job. the center center with port the sides with caridge bolts attatched for assembling now time for the "XPLICT AUDIO" raised XA wrap it in vinyl all done now just waiting for the 11kv.3 to get here and I will then repost pics of it installed. cliff notes from this ....:( to this...

Unpredictableacts Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 just a couple of updates before install pics......teaser pics. I am sure this has been seen 10,000 times but mine is special.....well because it is mnine(not really mine more so a cutomer/poker buddy) maybe this one was bstock due to the logo not being straight with the mounting holes, oh well I carpeted the surface that the woofer will befiring into. inside the little cubby area....must be sleeping. pre wired to help with the install, just waiting on him to bring his amplifier to wrap things up. console just chillin.....and why not it was nice that day. NExT up install pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpredictableacts Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 damn thats clean man, cant wait to see it in the truck. how do you get the vinyl to fit the X? do you just heat it up and stretch? I wish it was that easy, it would have been easier taking it out for dinner and suducung it on the front lawn. Actually it is a "XA" for xplicit audio.... i wanted to get a bit more creative with it , but my poker budy was working with a budget and wanted it simple. heated it up and rubbed it down trying to avoid wrinkles and non sticking places....I finished it at 5:30 am and was about to just stop but I pressed on and got it together. damn I wish some of you guys were near or that shipping was not ao much for enclosures....If I made a corner mounted 10" woofer box for a light weight yet effective 10" woofer(the one in my car now and in the above console) would some be interested?...I would glass it to fit right in the corner of the rear corner of the car, I would have to find a 90 coupe,delsol and even some acuras to borrow for a few days, but if I have the time I am up for anything. Glass would be lighter to ship and I coulr wrapp it before I ship it out. Just tossing thoughts up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRF4i Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Looks clean man, I break my sub box apart so much i dont have time for the cosmetics. I would have liked to see the center console in fiberglass. . you would have been able to get alot more creative with it. . I drive a big truck. 1999 Suburaban. . . whats weird though, is when you actually start installing stuff in it, you realize you really dont have as much room as you thought you did to install stuff throughout the truck because the seats and everything are so over sized. anyway. . heres my current install. . i plan on breaking it all down and adding a few more monitors and stuff. . i really want to start playing around with fiberglass more. 1 x 18" RE SX - 6.5 cu^ft @ 32HZ 1 x RE 12.1 1 x DEI A404 CDT 6.5" components up front. . cant remember the model # for any of my mids lol . . they are just the classics though 6.5" CDT 2 way drivers in the rear H.U. - Pioneer AVIC N2 2 x 5 1/2" SPL widescreen monitors in head rests. Pheonix gold Interconnect wiring I plan on adding 3 more monitors, another Battery. . .and maybe some glass work around the amp and sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
