check out my new center console i made. mind you this is my first box build but i think it came out really nice! details on the box. sealed about .9 cf, 3/4 MDF construction, coated in fiberglass resin, skim of filler, blocked and shot in some straight black. i believe its a volvo color. got a JL 10wo.... i know... way small. the panel is engine turned aluminum sheet with some momentary switches in there. will end up being power windows, cutout, nitrous activation and purge. or change switches for line lock. not sure yet. stainless cup holders also.
now heres the goods
