Finally! Equalizer installed in a good location!

I have been contemplating/working on this project for a while now. There just didn't seem to be a good place to put my AudioControl Four.1. I didn't want to give up my "Not an Ashtray," so I had just wedged the EQ between the seat and console. Not a very good solution.


So, I bought the cupholder from the 6 speed.



Making the EQ fit was a little tricky...



But getting the new cupholder to fit in the existing console was the real trick. The new cupholder is much deeper than the original.



So I had to cut out a shitload of plastic with my dremmel.



Here are some of the left over pieces.



But, with some modification, I made it fit.



And then the EQ just slides right in. I used a cutout from a piece of rubber baseboard I picked up at Home Depot to make the small piece that fits around the EQ.






Now it looks great!




I'm so happy my Four.1 finally has a permanent home. And I can access the back seat without worrying about it too! Mission accomplished.

Nice work bro, that's seems like something I would have done. I'll post pics of my project, but I'm too lazy to go to the car and get my camera.

It was around $120. My local dealer gives $50 credit for every Acura Customer survey you return, and I used 2 to get this for free.

I just used some black rubber baseboard material I picked up at Home Depot. I then I used the Dremel to cut it to shape. It turned out pretty good actually, at least as good as getting a piece of plastic cut by a shop for $$$. I like my $1.50 solution better.

Here's the product, except black.
