Just started the console last week. It's made to house 2 Rockford Fosgate T1 series 12s along with 2 cup holders in the front and 2 in the back. Here's a few pics. I'll post some more pics soon.

Mounting the cup holder rings in place.

Routing out the edges of the wood to staple the fleece in.

Fleece stretched and stapled over the rings. Used glue to hold the fleece down to the cup holder rings.

Well got rained out on working on the console today and its supposed to be raining again tomorrow so the build will be getting put on hold for right now. I'll be posting some pics as soon as I am able to work on it again. Still have to put a few more layers of resin on the top, then cut all of the holes out and glass in some dividers to separate the cup holders from the subs and start laying glass in the inside of the box for strength. By laying the fiberglass inside the box to strengthen it up rather than laying it on the outside this helps to keep the shape that the fleece creates and lessen the amount of body work required to create a smooth surface for paint.

Thanks man. I'm hoping to finish the glassing next week and start the body work the following weekend.

Did some more work on the console today. Got another layer of resin down. It's getting a little chilly now to do anymore. Gonna do some more work this week. I'll post some pics as soon as I get a chance.

Well here you go guys. I cut the holes out. Now it's on to laying fiberglass down inside. Please tell me what y'all think so far.
