Okay--about to head out to the lake. Meeting some friends and doing some skiing, and afterward I'll try to put some pics of the enclosure on here.

Yes--I called DD and asked about their subs for my application, and they told me as long as they weren't exposed directly to copious amounts of water splashing on them, they should hold up fine. I was told sunlight was okay, as well, since many people have their subs exposed or "showcased" in...

keep_hope_alive... thanks for all of your input! I have been considering adding mdf panels coated with resin to the inside of the panels... just trying to figure out if there's some way to test the setup before I glue these to the panels where there's no turning back. As for making it a true...

Ergh... I was afraid someone might say that. Let's just say that's not an option :-) First of all, this thing weighs a good 70 pounds, and there's no easy way to lift it out. Secondly, if I don't put it in that area, there's nowhere to store it where it's out of the way. Third, without using...

Awesome! It worked. Okay--above is pretty-much my exact boat. Same color and graphics, mine just has a rounded front end (the decking), is a bit longer and undoubtedly faster . You can see where I placed the black circle. The sub is under there. The sub system sets directly on top of the...

Let me just see if this image posts and then I'll explain....

Sorry... should have been specific about that. In the picture you see the boat from a top-down view. Same with the zoomed-in sub enclosure. You're looking at it top-down. You only see one sub on the front because the second sub is directly beneath the first. The floor is 3/4" marine...

Okay--here we go. As you can see, the sub has aluminum on three sides. One side is open but is covered with a thick snap-on vinyl cover. The area shaded in green on the image is actually two compartments. The square compartment houses the sub. The second, larger rectangular compartment...

I'll tell you what... I need a new computer. AutoCAD crashed so I'll have to redo the drawing... take just a few mins. Yup--that's the bad thing about my setup... not much I can do about that. I thought about mounting the subs separately but wiring them parallel--one in the front and one in...

Let me modify the pic again... I'll call out which areas are aluminum.

Just posted another pic but it said the post had to be approved by an administrator... maybe it'll be up shortly. I think it's less helpful than the first pics, but it gives you a visual of the area.

Okay--let's see if this works... the image from the website was tiny, so it's pretty fuzzy. Also, I exported the AutoCAD file to a jpg, and that never looks terribly good. Hopefully everyone can see it all right. Here it is: The area is in the back of the boat, and is the smaller section...

Well, I don't have any pictures here, but next time I'm at the lake (this weekend) I'll snap some pictures of the area in question. Tell you what... I might go to the manufacturer's website and grab a copy of the floor plan of the boat and put a note or two on it. Maybe that can suffice for...

So... I don't want to use Dynamat for this purpose? I think that's what you're implying. If I choose to use mdf, will it block the sub's output if I put it in front of the subs? Or will the sound travel through it? If mdf has the tendency to block the output, should I use 3/4" on the two...

Will the mdf not block the sound? I have the subs facing towards the front of the boat (subs are in the very back), and of the three sides with aluminum, one of them is directly in front of the subs. I tried facing the subs to the left (towards the side that isn't aluminum), and the vibrations...
