I saw earlier in the thread that some people had jump seats from a conversion company, but never mentioned what the company was. Does anyone have one and our know where to get one? I've found a couple but sellers refused to sell without dr/pas seats.

dremeled out the bottom panel to fit a magnetic charger, this was just a test piece to see if it would even work, it did. a more polished piece would have a channel for the wire and hole in the pivot block to run it down into the console where i have a 12v port. idea is to have a wireless hidden charger

I gutted mine and ran a regular old amp I had sitting around. Sounds excellent and way bigger than it should.

OK so you used the bose sub with a regular amp? I thought that wouldn't be a problem.
I did that on another suburban I had. It worked very well. I did a write up on the console install and the subwoofer is down the page a bit...

Finally had a chance to grab a picture of an in-progress Escalade console swap. The plastic was painted with SEM and I wrapped the lid and front trim piece in perforated vinyl. I’m planning to run it stripped of the factory amp and bass. May figure out replacing with aftermarket at some point though.

Not done yet, amd will require some serious trimming of the plastic sides, (removed in pics below) but this one is from a town and country minivan and looks pretty nice In there to me. Will know 100% next week once I get the power bucket brackets in there and the bench bracket out so it isn’t lifted off the floor In the rear.

Cup holders, top storage bins front and rear with two power outlets (lighters) front bin. And a slide out rear cup holder that extends with a storage bin for those with extra cabs, crew cabs, Tahoe Yukon. Also has pale blue white led illumination for cup holders.

also doesn’t extend the full length of the seats which I like so kids can climb in from front seat to rear and vice versa.
might not be ideal for everyone especially Regular cab but is an idea out of the norm.

looks like a good match for the standard tan beige… unfortunately my dash is already converted/ painted over to the Escalade interior color.
