[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 481435, member: 22613"] Looking on your photos again I'm not sure that you could anyway. Your deck goes all the way to console, mine doesn't, the plastic console had an aluminum base that mounted to the floor, doesn't look like yours did. I've seen guys make custom speaker boxes out of fiberglass by cutting round donuts out of MDF, suspending them with dowels and hot glue, then stretching cloth over the whole deal and applying resin/mat over that. I figured you could do the same with a boat console, build the base, cut out your dash panel, stretch the cloth out to the desired console shape and have a pretty slick looking setup. I've also seen people make a mold out of foam, but that seems more timing consuming to me. [/QUOTE]
