I snagged a spare glove box assembly from the junkyard this weekend. Since my 92 is devoid of a pasenger side airbag, there is a rather large cavity inside the dash where the SRS unit would normally reside. I'm sure you can see where I'm headed with this. . .
A sealed fiberglass enclosure for a single 8" sub located within the dash. Hopefully I can squeeze about .25 cubic feet outta there, which should be plenty for a nice small-box sub. It should be pretty much invisable, and not intrude at all into the passenger cabin at all. I think a nice SQ 8" with about 125 watts rms should be plenty for my musical tastes (also looking into the Elemental Designs E8A, which can handle double that). I havent started construction yet, proabably next week. This project is a little pointless, hoever, considering my CD player died about 2 months ago and I can't afford to replace it.
I'd be more inclined to build a false floor in the passenger footwell and mount maybe an 8" sub in there. An 8 wouldn't need much room to move air, making it pretty stealth beneath the carpet.
Yea, thats what im thinking. If you could build it into the center console. Under the dash too much rattle. Losing too much floor space is a nono. But the center consle would rock.

Originally posted by mciampag What about building a box into the '92 center console?
I was REALLY close to trying that. I almost went through with it, but I realized the large consoles are actually fairly expensive, and I didn't have a spare. If someone wants to have theirs done, I'd be more than willing to take a stab at it.
I might be interested somewhere down the line. What are you calling expensive? I grabbed mine from a junkyard for around $50. Could probably buy the '93 console instead and trade it to someone who wants to get rid of the big box, it seems like there's always someone asking about that.

$50-$100 is about the going rate for that console. I looked at a junkyard for one in poor condition (because it was going to be modified anyway), but never found one.

yes yes somebody trade me there 93 console(F-R) for my 92 console-box... seriously...but yeah great ideas guys..
I really should have traded before going to the junk yard. And if that weren't bad enough, I somehow managed to leave my '93 console in my old dorm room when I moved out. Not only did I lose the parts, I got charged for trash removal.
Originally posted by Prelude Type ShizL the center console can hold like 3 or 4 little 8's I think that would be off the hinges
Four end one end I don't even think would fit. Due to the width the box would have to overhang the seats. IMO you might as well take out the rear seats and put subs worth while in there.
