Custom Rear Console

I did some work earlier in the week and have had some awesome complements for it! So I'm sharing this with anyone else that would like to have this done. I do all sorts of audio installations as a hobby and job!

Install went smoothly as suspected, even managed to fix a small rattle I was having from some plastic panels above the rear seats.

Speakers: Kenwood KFC-1695ps. (Awesome sounding speaker for a great price)

I added sound dampening to make sure nothing would rattle and hooked them up to my amp.

Sounds Awesome and adds some much needed extra sound where the front of the vehicle lacks due to small front speakers.

P.S. Excuse the speaker wire, waiting till my crossover comes in early next week. Just wanted to hook them up and test them in the meantime. The wiring will be redirected in a cleaner fashion.

Did you end up fully enclosing the box? Shouldn't it be fully enclosed?

Not with this setup. These are just speakers, if they were subs, yes.

Maybe I would if you could. Maybe I'll just revoke my application to spelling bee.

This is awesome. How much would you charge for something like this?

This is a common thing, people have been doing it since the RX-8 came out, some well and others not so well. Any audio shop could do it. But from an acoustics standpoint this is less than ideal.
