Default Back Center Console

I plan on making a back center console out my box with my 12" L7 in it. I'm going to take out the 60 part of my back seat an put another bucket seat to replace it. something like this

i accidently hit send, but I wanted to know what you guys think about doing that. how do you like this setup? do you think it would look good and sound good also, with a 1000.1 crunch amp powering it. have you done this to your truck? if so post some pics an tell me what you have an how you like it. thanks!!

If you frequently have people riding back there, it'll be uncomfy for them without armrests/something to lean against/brace on for longer rides. IMO. At the same time, I prefer being able to hear, so I don't care about the extra sound.

I'd have it house the amp to keep it protected from spills or getting ripped out

I have everything else done already, the amp is mounted in the cargo bin area behind the rear seats

I like the idea. If you are real motivated, maybe try doing something involving plexiglass? I'm thinkin of the old pimp my ride episodes where they put fish tanks, or popcorn machines and other USELESS things into vehicles. Maybe just some plexiglass on the sides with LEDs? Dunno, but I do like your idea.

Definitly something taller and doesnt stick out so far to function as an armrest, maybe something a little more rounded if you want to work with fiberglass hah, and I'd definitely put the sub on the front for looks.....i like the idea alot though, unfortunately, the 60 part of my 40-60 back seat is a sub box haha
