Just added two speakers up front and replaced factory. Anyone install a sub in it? Mine has the bench seat. I'm new to this forum, how do you post pictures? |

What speakers did you install? What head unit do you have? I wouldn't install a sub/amplifier unless you have a dual battery setup as the amp can drain a battery within 2hrs of the boat being off leaving you stranded. Two 3-way 6x9's in the rear facing the frount would sound better then just randomly placing a sub in the boat. The added speakers would fill the sound in better cause just the two 6.5's you really gotta push to get decent volume at cruise. I have two polk DB651's in my boat with a new kenwood KMR350u and it rocks out but the boat would sound MUCH better with 4 speakers. I plan to add polk MM691's under the rear seats facing forward here soon. |

I would have replaced it but I would have to buy all new unit and satellite receiver. Just bought the boat last summer and I'm just starting to change things a bit. The two battery thing is something I didn't really think about, thanks for the heads up. Thanks for your help. |

Which ones? Some of the kicker 6.5's have nothing below 50hz which = no bass at all |

for pics, go to ImageShack and the site will host your pictures for free and then you link to the site in your post. It's not difficult...only took me 5 or 6 practice attempts. Fairly easy. |

Fairly easy. Hey thanks for your help. I see that you have an extended platform. You have any close up pics, also where did you buy it at? |

Photobucket works too. Basically you are uploading your pictures to an online site and then you link to them from here. |

Just a word about adding an amp. My boat came with a factory Clarion APX 480 M. I have a battery cut out which cuts power from the batt at 11.6V (IIRC). I can sit for well over 2 hrs before it cuts out, and still start the engine. The amp was powering 4 components and a sub. I'm adding another amp and batt, but until that it was fine. |
