[QUOTE="jonathanengr1, post: 7351136, member: 633698"] So... put the sub box into the truck, wired it up and turned on the stereo. Holy blazes of glory!!! I thought I had a kangaroo sitting behind my seat kicking me. I turned the subs ALL of the way up with the sub control on the stereo--no distortion. Turned the sound to about 80% of max--no distortion. Played all--I mean *all*--of the bass songs that were flopping at the lake, and they sounded terrific! Bad news? That little MTX in my truck is pretty pitiful now.... Boy... so--ideas? Do you think the amp was the problem? Or was it just the area in the boat the sub was located? I guess I'll have to drop back to square 1 and get it *on* the boat and see. The sub box was surrounded by three aluminum panels... they are very tight and didn't seem to be vibrating, but you never know. One interesting thing I've never understood. Maybe someone can explain this better. In my theater room, the sub completely fills it with sound. I had a guy come and configure my whole system, and you simply *can not* tell where the sub is from the sound it generates. You think it's in one place due to the volume, but you walk somewhere else and it's just as strong as if you're standing on top of the doggone thing. When playing the sub in my truck, even with all of the doors open, it wasn't nearly as loud, and in some areas completely absent, versus being in front of the drivers (in the driver's seat, in this case). Even at almost painful levels it was whisper quiet elsewhere. I thought base was fairly non-directional due to wavelength, and could pass through just about anything (you can even hear my theater sub in my attic 3 floors up when an action scene is on the TV, despite (supposed) special sound dampening drywall in the theater room). How can I make the sub sound strong throughout the boat? [/QUOTE]
