I am almost done with my sub set up and the guy that was going to help me is to busy right now. So now I need to finish it myself. What I have is a JLW7 12" in a box with a plexyglass front window. Now what I need to do is put some sort of plate over the front to make it look nice and since I have zero creativity I need to use somone elses idea. Thanks for any help given, Mike

? on those with subs in the hatch ?

How do you work on your boat? Change the impeller, oil, plugs, bilge... I think the craftsmenship is great & bet it sounds savage + the weight is good!!!

Just concerned on maintanence issues?

William,

How does that sub sound with that enclosure? I made one that looks just like yours, but mine turned out to sound better under the dash without the sealed box. Also, did you make that playpen yourself?? It looks good.

Cartronics, what did your shop charge to build that slotted port box with the w7 in it? Is that in a malibu?

Mike, looks like you have that sub firing up? Have you tested it yet? What type of effect if any does it haev on your dash. I had to dyno mat my whole dash with a 10w6 (500/1). Mine also fires up. I wanted to try having another box built that fires into the cabin but still ported. Upload

I will most likely turning to fire to the right. The guy who help me build it designed it to fire into a sound bord but I did not like the vibration the back pressure caused on the sub. Mike

I just played a little Prodigy in the boat and definatly is getting turned to the right, I thoguht the whole boat was going to fal apart. Now I just need to figure out how to build the exterior panel. Mike

PMH

the enclosure is built to .615 cubic feet of airspace and JL reccomends .625. i went with a slightly smaller enclosure because im running 600 watts to each of my W6v2's. the sub will only sound good if it has the right amount of airspace and if it isn't in a enclosure you probably wont get alot of output.

The sub is located under the bow filler cushion and then i made the grill with matching mesh.

Thanks Shane. That is exacly what I need to do. What is that board made out of? Mike

mgg 04-21-2006, 8:12 PM

Well I got it finished today. I used the stock kick panel and modified it to work with the new sub. I might change it out later but it looks ok for now. I will post some picks tomorrow. Mike

MIke-On your Bu why did you choose to fire the sub sidewayz ? Just curious if it sounds better then facing back towards the cabin ?

mgg 04-22-2006, 9:40 AM

Well the the box was designed to fire up but that was no good so the only other optio was to go to the side. It does sound great though. I can't wait to get it in the water to hear it. Mike

(iagainsti) · (iagainsti) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-22-2006, 9:58 AM

I see alot of sidewayz firing subs on this thread and was just curious if the deflection helps or if it was just a fitment issue. Thanks

mgg 04-22-2006, 11:03 AM

I think the deflection helps. It sounded way better once I put it in then it did just sittiing out on the floor of the boat. Mike
