I finall got my "Winter Project" done this weekend. It's a project that I originally started when I got my '04 7(!) years ago, but at the time, I wasn't happy with how it was tuning out.
Pulled it back out of the basement a while back and totally revamped it. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Let me know what you think.

That's cool. So clean!!

looks OEM. mad props

Great job! Post the measurements of that for us!

Sick man

Looks good!

Nice work! Looks like a pro did it.

Looks factory, very nice

Looks great! So... when are you gonna make one for me?

whats the bar across the back of it for? and X2 on the dimensions that thing is beautiful!!!!

That's a prop rod that I made to hold the lids open. I originally had a lid support on each side, but I couldn't get the geometry to work-out on them, so I went simple and made a couple of prop rods out of some 3/4" PVC that I had laying around-covered them in some 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber film I had left over from a previous project. They're mitered on one end and key into a hex nut screwed into the underside of the lid.
I'll see if i can get some dimensions up at some point. I hate to say it, but I'm already thinking of cutting it up and modding it a bit-it's a little bit too deep front-to-back, so my seats don't slide all the way back. Still debating.
Thanks

Looks great. Is the sub a factory sub mount or did you make that also? Where is the amplifier located?

Factory Pioneer 290W system-Ford/Pioneer 6 disc head unit, Pioneer 6-1/2" sub in center console, Pioneeer 5-1/4" components in doors, Pioneer 6x8s in rear doors. $265 option when I ordered the truck. IIRC, the amp is integrated with the sub enclosure-it's been a while since I 've had it apart.

Very nice job ! Clean ,simple and functional bet you could turn a profit on them if you wanted

Diggin' up n old post--I've just started on Version 2.0 of this. Should I post step-by-step instructions in the "How To" section or in the "Project Logs" section? I will be posting pics, instructions, material list, and dimensions
This one's going into the "Classifieds" once 2.0 is done if anybody is interested.

If I hadn't just built a new box for my subs, I'd be all over the old one!

That is excellent man! I would for sure build one of these for my truck.

Sure! We area always looking for new Hot-To's!
