Tommyk's Front Stage and Center console revamp

[tommyk90 5,000+ posts]

Looks good Tommy. I did the same in my Blazer for the front stage only I put 4" coaxials in cause I didn't think 5.25's would fit. Guess I'll be buying a set soon.

The 5.25's BARELY fit. Make sure to get as shallow of a driver as you can. Any deeper and these things wouldn't have cleared the gauge cluster/air ducts.

It's better than nothing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

My eyes do a better job than that thing usually though.

The cup holder (and a crappy one at that) was IN FRONT of the amp, and the drink would always tilt back during acceleration.

Maybe if ya stopped spraying the NAWS this wouldnt happen

Looks good...i cant keep up ,you still have the DD 10 and 2500.1?

Currently, yes. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That may change in the near future though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Looks nice especially the paint, I'm guessing you put the mids in the mdf baffle since you couldn't get a screwdriver under the windshield.

Mounted on mdf baffle, then slid into place. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The SPL side of things is still ugly! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

That's being a little generous IMO.

**UPDATE**

Well, I got a little more accomplished today, even though it was balls *** hot out. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

It's starting to look like a console!

Installed in the truck to ensure that it fits. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I still got quite a bit of bondo work/sanding to do, but it's coming along nicely.

And to end my day on a happy note, right when I was finishing up the Good Humor man drove through the neighborhood and I got myself a nice cool treat. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Well, that's all for now. I'm hoping to get this thing completed before the weekend, but this hot weather is really slowing me down. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Lol...

You should have extended the console to near the rear, with mdf. Then cut out a smoot opening for your plastic cupholder to flush it... then minimal filler would be needed.

Hopefully Clif's TommyK O'meter is off... a little.

Eh, I really wasn't sure what I was gonna do with the console, so I just kinda went with it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It's turning out ok, now all I really need to do is smooth off the end and make a little extension piece to cover up the wires. I can't do anything real heavy duty because I need to slide the seat all the way up for SPL. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thus why I made a new console in the first place. I always had to move the amp out of the way before i could move the seat.

And btw, kitty hair saved me a LOT of time, and a LOT of bondo. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
