swab Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Hey Guys I was looking to start a new project and i have a 2000 dodge Dakota slt Single Cab. Im looking to Build a box for the center console i have not a lot of room to work with, my current system is 2 kicker cvt 10s and a 600 wat dual amp under my seat i want to lose all that and take out the center console i was thinking something along the lines of the kicker comp 10" speaker (but im open to anything new ) and a square box with the one speaker facing the front and one facing up but not sure how to go about this. i would like to stick with mdf if i can.... soo if any one has done this or happens to know anything about it please let me know what you know lol thanks i will take some pics and some measurements tomorrow and post them up Edited July 8, 2011 by swab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Bass Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Budget on subs and amp, max dimensions? I have a 2000 Dakota, but it's the extended cab. Quote N8. No homo...unless you want there to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullet Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 It'll be hard to fit a 10 between the seats, there's only about 9.5" there. I went through at least 6 different enclosures before ditching the idea of doing even a single 10 in mine (01 standard cab dakota) I finally made a fiberglass copy of the center console and put an 8 in it down firing, covered with the stock console cover and reattached the flip up arm rest thing. Looks stock but I have a sub in there and it actually sounds pretty good for a small sub setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullet Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 That console thing is exactly what I was going to do with mine, got any pics? This is from the start of it. Unfortunately, being the 7th or so try at getting something in there, I was in a rush and didn't take many pics along the way. Just covered with foil and a little tape and fiberglassed over the metal frame and foam from the stock console and went from there. I'll see if I can find a little time later to get some pics of what it looks like done/now. I honestly don't even remember what it looks like under the stock covering any more. This was one of my other ideas with 2 8s but I missed having my arm rest/storage and didn't really like the JBLs anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullet Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I lied, I do have a couple more To the original poster, sorry for clogging up your thread but maybe this can give you an idea of what you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullet Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Another thing...is yours an automatic or manual trans? If auto, you should have more room to extend out from the console up to the underside of the dash. With a manual, I had a lots less room to work with.
