That is really cool! Could you do a DIY for this? I really like your sub box I have a regular Cab WHITE Ram and was trying to figure out how to put a sub in. Thanks

 

i wish i had a lifted diesel!!!!

 

Nice Job and able to keep the functionality of the arm rest/storage.

 

ya give me a little bit and ill write one up and post it.

 

materials needed.

plywood/particle board. at least a 4ft x4 ft sheet. i used 1/2 thick. (lowes $14)
1-3/8" drywall fine threaded screws. (really any wood screw will work) (lowes $8)
some good silicone caulk (sherwin-williams $5)
self tapping sheet metal screws ( already had these so not sure of price)
3'x6' roll of carped. (autozone $10)

tools needed:

skill saw
drill
jig-saw or sawzall (reciprocating saw)
1" paddle drill bit
tape mesure
square
1/2" wrench
1/2" socket




first remove the center console by removing the bolts from underneath of it. there are 4 in the back and 2 in the front. they take 1/2" socket in the back. and the front ones will require a wrench.
then remove the 4 bolts that hold the arm rest to the lower seat unit.

now you can make your box.

here are the size pieces of wood you will need.


screw them all together and caulk the inside corners as you go.

start with the bottom, screw on the ends, then slide the side pieces in and then the top.

now you will need to make you 12" round hole, i used the tempelate that came with my subs. use the paddle bit to drill a hole to get the sawzall goin.

then finish up calking the inside corners. i didnt have a wire connector insert so i drilled a little hole in the bottom of the box for the wires and caulked the wires into it.

now you can carpet the box! im not good at this so i will let you figure it out as i did lol

now you are ready to attach the arm rest to the sub box. the 2 support arms on the arm rest will have to be pulled apart a bit and its gunna be a tight fit. i just screwed them right into the box it self. (i have the seat up all the way in the pic so this isnt really visible any other time)

camera adds 10x the dirt!

then use the self tapping screws to screw the box into the metal support brackets where the original storage box was bolted in at. now you can install the sub.

your armrest will be higher that stock height, but i think its more comfortable actually.


if you need more pics or any questions let me know

 

wow lol is all i can say that has got to be crazy sitting next to a 12" bet it puts some bass out but I would get tired of it rattling the stuff inside the console and my arm plus i like the stash bin so i can keep my gun close at hand

 

i thought iit would rattle too but it doesnt one bit and ive got all sorts of change aloose stuff in there

 

Thanks I know what I will be doing soon.....
