getting ready to start on the system for my new boat.. i know i will have one sub in the drivers foot well.. but ive seen people placing subs in the compartment in front of the soptters seat.. can you really hear these since they are an enclosed area?? im sure you can hear them but i was wondering how well...what kind of box would work best in an area like this?? thanks for any input!

Richard,
I tried to place a 12" sub in the footwell of my v215. Couldn't get one to fit and still get the size requirements for the enclosure. If you find a way I would love to know.

I have a 12" sub in my drivers foot well. It fits no prob. It is a RF punch stage 3. Uses a .85cf box. Hits really hard. I have no need for a second either. I have heard a few with the sub under the spotter's seat and it is not as loud. They were both port type boxes. Hope that helps.

I had a 12" sub in the compartment forward the passenger seat and noticed a big difference from when the flip-up seat was up vs. down. Therefore, in our new boat I put the sub in the bow walk-thru area. It's sounds a lot better.

I'm leaving the kickpanel area open for heater install.
