Donno if this has been posted already, but I know a few people have been looking for a sub box that fits between the rear seats.

Cool idea, but it looks really unfinished...

Agreed. But atleast the option is there for those looking for it.

Very true. Would it work to cut out a circle in the pass through cover and have the sub poke through that? It would look a lot better.

It says it has a cover-over whatever that means/looks like, theres a thread with a pic of a guy that has 2 8's in the stock console cover, looks pretty good too

I sent an e-mail to the company with more info such as specifications of size, .cu ft, weight, what size of sub it houses, along with a request for more pictures including view from the trunk, ill update once I hear back.

ive seen people cut into the back pannel thing and put speakers or whatever on there. it looks pretty snazzy. dont do a box like that though it makes your car look ghetto

I e-mailed them 4 times in the past 2 1/2 months and still nothing. They don't seem to be serious about making it.:banghead:

That's my old sub box... and the final product was not unfinished as it had a fiberglass front bezel that was smooth piano black with a silver circle around the speaker grille. It really looked very good, and fit the interior well. There was a thread with pics about it in this forum.
However I sold it because the 8" woofer paired with a small sealed enclosure just didn't go deep enough. Maybe if the box would have been a ported one... but still, it was very small.
I don't think they ever made another one... it was pretty expensive at that time. Needless to say, I wouldn't go this route anymore, but back then there was no 4080 or Zenclosures box available. This was back in 2004.

Here are the photos:

Think there is a chance they would sell the cover only? I mean, if you have the Zenclosure box already in there, but want the look of the piano black piece with the speaker grill? I'm assuming they wouldn't because they want you to buy the whole piece... but i don't know.

Thoughts anyone?

im planning to fiberglass the center with a cut out with a speaker grill....this should work with those boxes on that site....i was going to make boxes as well but if you can just buy them from that site not bad

my plan for the center was to cover it in a black vinyl kind of like the armrests.
the piano black is nice but i would only do it if my whole center console was painted piano black
