    Replacing 1” mdf- best option with ply?

    Hi all. I thought this would be pretty straight forward and I would replace my 1” mdf on an existing baffle with 25mm birch ply but the local places don’t have that. One place said they have 1/2”, 3/4” and 1 1/8”. The 1 1/8” is some type of floor type stuff. this is in a boat and I’m looking to...

    Large infinite baffle subs ?

    Since it’s been a year, time for an update. Got the jl out of the boat and am in the process of making the new baffle. Kind of nervous about hacking up the boat but hopefully the improvement will be noticeable. Can anyone model these two woofers in a “15” cube sealed box? I think that is roughly...

    Large infinite baffle subs ?

    Hi all. I have the Jl marine 12” Infinite baffle sub. I’d ideally like to go up to a 15 or 18. This is for a boat installation. I’d love to get more output with out the additional power draw of a second sub, so I’m thinking bigger. move used fi ib3’s in my home theater setup so I’m thinking...

    How to best charge boat batteries when cruising around?

    The solar one is interesting. I was also thinking of getting one of those small battery packs in case I do end up killing things or getting it pretty low. min currently running two good size batteries but with 3 amps, it pulls some serious juice if I have it cranked up.

    How to best charge boat batteries when cruising around?

    Hi guys. I have a boat setup with a dual battery setup and a 70 amp alternator. When I’m parked on land I can just plug it in. My question has to do with is there a good way to charge these batteries after I’ve been sitting playing music for a few hours? It is my understanding that alternators...

    Power efficient Bass - What is a good combo for low power?

    about the enclosure versus bulkhead. There is currently one into the bulkhead but I'm thinking that to really get much out of this, I'm going to need a box or a big woofer. Thoughts?

    Power efficient Bass - What is a good combo for low power?

    hi guys. The boat actually has 2 batteries with a selector switch so that I don't kill the battery to run the boat. Yes, I'll go class d for sure on the amp. I was thinking about something in the 500 watt range. The boat will be in Havasu which gets up to about 115 (we don't go out beyond...

    Power efficient Bass - What is a good combo for low power?

    Hi all, First of all, this is for a boat, so I'm looking for high output that doesn't need a ton of power since it'll be running off a battery not hooked up to an engine (such as when we're sitting on the beach). I can probably afford 2.5= 3, maybe approaching 4 cubic feet tops if it made...

    10” sealed, small box (.5 cu ft), low power - what woofer?

    Hi all. I’m using a pre-fab enclosure for my Audi that is 16 liters. I don’t know the conversion but I’m guessing that is a bit over .5 cu ft. I’m going to power it with a stock amp for now (maybe 150-200 watts) so I’m looking for something pretty efficient. any suggestions? I was thinking...
