Building a center console

So here goes. Well I decided one day to tear out the center console in my truck with the intention of putting a new one in there.. Well 3 years later.. still no center console. So thats where it brings me up to pretty much till last weekend. Last week end I got bored and decided to start putting it together again I dug out the mounting brackets and started brain storming that it would be better to build one rather than buy one so i could build it to my specs and add a few things. So to give you an idea what kinda vehicle its going in is a 2002 F250 with the diesel engine. So Im sure as long as I dont go crazy my electrical system will be fine. The only thing I have done to my truck currently is a Sony Deck. I had a sub and amp that i bought from walmart years ago but it got moved to my wife's car and now just sits in storage. so yeah.. moving on I wanna put a sub and maybe two in the center console. If you've never been in a truck that size I have an amazing amount of space to build this console. So I was thinking maybe a single or two 10 in subs. but that's just to say.. I wanna put that crunch in your lunch kinda bass but don't need it over killed.. I'm not going to be going to competitions or anything like.. I hope that makes since. So To give you an Idea of what I have been looking at Ive been searching and reading About SSAs Dcon series.. I found one kinda local for 80 bucks buts its a 12.. also I dont know what kinda amp to push these things.. I have a friend that will sell me a JL 500.1v? for around 200 if that is a good deal. Also I am working on a budget so if you guys have any better suggestions I will research and look into them all. If there are any other questions that you may wanna know please ask.. Again thanks for all the info that you may be able to provide.. So I went out and took some measurements it will be 17.5" wide the front height will be 17.5" and around 48" long and around 24" in the rear..
