Project Boom Console V2.0

I love your seats. The console turned out great also.

 

Right!! What are they out of a 4runner??

 

Yes out of a 3rd gen 4runner

 

So I had to pull the console back out earlier this week because the smell of fiberglass was just too strong in an enclosed area. I let it sit for a week before installing it, but it was still off-gassing.

This gave me a chance to work on the grille. I couldn’t find an off the shelf solution since this sub is 8.75” to the outside and my mounting hole was 9”. I wanted my grille to be flush with the side of the console, and no one sells anything like that due to the high excursion of most subwoofers. The SD-3 doesn’t project much above the mounting ring because of its underhung surround.

I found a trim ring for a 9” light on suberbright leds that was the EXACT size I needed, and it was only $5!

I looked for the longest time to find some cheap perforated steel to make my own grille, but it was just too expensive for the small amount that I needed. I ended up buying a 10” subwoofer grille from Amazon warehouse and cutting it up.



I then glued this using jb kwik into the light trim ring.




I also put some 1/2”x1/16” foam gasket tape on the inside to prevent any metal on metal contact. I put this on the inside of the mounting ring on the box to give it a pretty snug fit (hope I can actually remove it later!)



Here it is all done!

 

Looks clean with that grill !! nice work!

 

Installed shot with the grille on.

 

Wow! Nice work, Noah! That came out awesome

 

Looks real sleek with the grill on it!

 

Damn, I want those seats!

 

They’re 3rd gen 4runner seats.

 

you gotta sound clip on youtube anywhere?

 

No, you can never really tell sound quality from a YouTube video. It sounds pretty good for being a semi shallow 8” sub
