Alright figured I'd post this up here really quick.
I've had a custom center console with a single shallow mount pioneer 12 in it for some time. Love the way it sounds, but the console was pretty bulky and crude. Just made of MDF it served its purpose, but I wanted to try something different.
Stripped down the center jump seat and made an MDF base to fiberglass to. The above picture is after the first layer of resin and fleece.
After a coat or two of fiberglass mat
Flip side with a coat of fiberglass to ensure it is fully sealed and give the MDF additional support.
After 4 layers of glass, and a layer of fiber reinforced bondo.
Spaced the braces up so at the max excursion of the sub it will not contact. Could have cut the brackets, but chose to do it this way.
Covered the box with some foam I got locally.
Stuffed the inside with polyfill, and had enough left over to stuff up the sides of the factory cover.
FINISHED PRODUCT!!!!
Waiting on some silicone to dry before putting it in the truck. Will update with how it sounds and a pic or two of it in the truck.
