Custom Centre console build
Hey guys, had a customer come in looking to take up no boot space whatsoever, wanted a fair bit of extra bass and wanted it as tight as possible...didnt have to be mega loud...but just nice so when he listens to his Raggae and dubplate, theres enough presence there on the bottom end...
after ummming and ahhh-ing, we decided to build everything into a centre console...the console will also house a custom switch panel for a few of his toys which will be details later on
Plan = 3 Ascendant Audio Assassin 8's, custom enclosure, perspex panel, switch panel...and lot of boom boom boom!
Right, after measurements were taken, it was time to get cutting
MDF panel cut to size

Marked up ready for panel to be cut out



Box built up

Were going OLD SKOOL! LOL


Test fit

You cant see in the pics, but the side panels needed cutting to clear the backrest levers, ill get some better pics of this as the build continues
Just waiting on the perspex panel to arrive...but before thats here, the box will be flocked as its a new trimming material we now do and this is the first customer build we have undertaken with this covering

Should look good! Flocking is starting to get more and more popular now!

Some pics of the finish...

Slots for backrest position

Side slots to help the bass come out as subs are firing down to the floor

You can see the next project with a spare wheel install in the background lol

It is actually black..but changes to dark blue in certain light

Its a strong contact adhesive and the flock is charged on so it always stands on end and uniform
