[QUOTE="jonathanengr1, post: 7365726, member: 633698"] 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 brackets to tie it into place, it's very likely to tip over. It's very tall, semi-thick and narrow down the sides, making it less than stable. It's a very fast boat, and if I hit a decent wake it would turn over and damage whatever it hits. Thus, I'd have to drive slow, which negates the reason I bought that particular boat with the options I chose. I guess I could make a custom fiberglass enclosure to fit in the *other* corner in the open, but I've never done that before. I'm pretty handy, but I might botch a few attempts. The *main* problem is it would then be out in the open. These subs are not marine grade speakers, so that's a problem. The area they are in now is cozy and dry... no direct water, sun or kids jumping up and down on them. Is there no way to make it work in that area? What if I cut a few holes within the chambers and installed o-rings to make it look nice and clean (not that anyone would see them). Obviously, I can't cut a hole in the outer panel. Even if I did this, I still feel I'd have to do something about the aluminum vibrating. As for it acting like a 4th order enclosure, wouldn't the enclosure have to be completely airtight and fairly rigid to truly be a bandpass? No clue here... just asking! [/QUOTE]
