Custom center console for sub woofer
I am planning on building a custom center console for my 84 F2 Fiddy and stuffing some Bronco bucket seats in there.
There really is no place else to put a sub in a truck. My plan is to fire a 10" sealed sub down into the floor with about a 2" air gap between the bottom of the sub and the floor. Kinda up on stilts. One thing that you have to do is reinforce the floor so energy isn't wasted flexing the sheet metal.
Here are some pics of one that I built for my GMC extended cab. I used 1 1/2" thick MDF and Gorilla glue. No nails or screws needed. I am currently working on another one using the same principal, but I made a special jig and I'm going to use 3/8 dowl pins in the rabbit joints for extra strenght.
The Infinity Perfect 10 called for about 1 cubic foot of space and I decided on a sealed cabinet for the extremely fast transient response (hard hitting and VERY fast - not muddy like a ported or bandpass) and added power handling. It was powered by a 1000 watt Alpine MRD M500 wired at 2 ohms.
Had it Rhino lined and painted to match the color of the GMC interior.

Saweeeeeeet! Nice job and great pics.
BTW did you ever try to use an online service like Photobucket for you pics? It will eliminate the image overlayed in each pic.

not to bad, i did almost the same thing with my 70 crew cab, but i put 2 12s pointing down, and didnt do anything to the floor, it was still much louder and hit harder then anyone thought it would. Here is what mine looked like right before i took it out wanted the room back...
