My New project

[Tahoewhat]

Id have to say that is a pretty dang close match. If not better. lol

 

[YukonXL04]

Haha thanks. Hoping to wrap it this weekend! Cant wait to be done.

 

[AH64Medic]

Any updates?

Sub'd...

that is awesome man I really like that. I have my Audio Que 12's that i LOVE but like you, I dont want to sacrifice my cargo area to put them in. So my question is, why dontcha build me one lol? Could be a decent market for those, Id definitely pay for one. I lack the free time to do it myself...

 

[YukonXL04]

Lol well as you can see by the rate im completing it, that I lack the free time as well lol.

Sorry no progress. We spent all weekend at cooks children's hospital. The new baby was running a fever. So they kept him there 36 hours. I'm just glad he is okay. However I now have a 3 day weekend so I better freaking get it done now haha

This box would probably fit that 12. So you have room to do it. I could have more airspace for the box but would sacrifice cup holders, and the arm rest storage to do so.

As far as sound goes its awesome. I love having my sub up front and centered lol.

 

[TxDrewski]

Oh man Im glad your little one is okay!

 

[YukonXL04]

Thanks alot man, he is doing better. Just kinda put a hold on my project lol. But look for completed pics this weekend.

 

[YukonXL04]

Here it is... Not completely done, but mostly. About the best I could do with the limited time I have.

Still need to make a filler piece for the drivers side lower dash where it meets the console.
Also need to paint the passenger lower dash panel and reinstall my glove box.

 

[TxDrewski]

Yeah.... I need one of those asap lol. Looks really really good man.

 

[Tahoewhat]

Looks good man, tad high looking, but very nice.

 

[04whitetahoe]

Nice work Shawn!!!! You did a beautiful job!! Way to go. Looks real clean and professional. Congrats. Joe

 

[YukonXL04]

Thanks alot guys. I'm really happy with it.

It is a tad higher than planned, but being 6'2" it's actually more comfortable than the jump seat console was. I don't seem to slouch as much while driving.

Again keep in mind it has my 600w rms RE audio 10 in it. 1.25 cuft. After sub and port displacements. It is tuned to 30hz. Gross volume is actually 1.7 cuft. So it was alot of work to make everything work together.

I'll post some more once the dash is painted.

 

[Tahoewhat]

Yeah at 6' 2 that is probably alot better for you.

I like it though, very creative and your pretty darn handy.

 

[617Yukon]

That's a killer install to have done at home, in for more updates!

 

[YukonXL04]

Thanks alot man. Well not much to update, just painted the passenger side lower dash and the color was off a little bit... But ah well lol. One of these days it will get repainted.

Trying to talk myself out of getting a bigger sub now lol

I have had a hard time finding parts for 03+ trucks in the local yards that will let you go pull parts. The ones that have the parts already pulled wont sell just those pieces, gotta buy the whole console.

What up with the '03+ What about 01 and 02 ?

 

[YukonXL04]

What about the 00-02?
I have an easier time finding interior parts for those. the problem is most electronic stuff doesn't work on a 03+. switches, buttons, etc... nor does the dash bezel or center console...

 

[jcevans7]

And I'm interested and just subscribed. Looks good. How did you make the rounded cuts? did you use a jig saw?

 

[YukonXL04]

Some of it I used a jig saw, some was using a router. Thanks.
