today i went to the junk yrd to get the dash bezel to cut up AND there is a
99 escalade with the floor console of coarse it's not grey
interior it needs to be cleaned and painted anyway there
was 30 min before closing i took the top panel off and
found a $5.00 bill that paid for the bezel. I will go back
in the morning with the right tools to get it $10.00 for it
and $5.00 more if i leave the bose sub in it. i wonder if i
can use it or change the speaker in it?

You sure can use the bose sub. Mine is working just fine with a 250W single channel alpine amp...Any more than that, and you risk blowing it.

Next project, JCV Double Din install...My way...

This is sweet and looks awesome. Im jealous of the esky console, I've been looking for one for almost a year now with no luck. Did you have to reinforce the dash to support the extra weight of the double din?
