Quick update. Started building the box... got most of the cuts done and the port opening mounted. Just need to fiberglass epoxy resin the inside and test for fit...

Nice build bro... That amp is super ****, and those Exide batts are very nice. My boy got one for the super low and he loves it, almost more than his BatCaps. I hope I come across one for cheap.

And I see you decided to go ported, nice stuff. I was just gonna say that I had talked to Jason and he said the SA-10 performs great in about .5 cubes, which is ridiculously small. Great work so far.

Yea, i though about sealed, but i really like the sound of ported especially on the water it helps with all the outside noise.. .you can really hear the different between sealed and ported on the water lol... its hard to dapend / deadened a boat...

Im going to wait for the SA 8 v2 and put one under the dash also =P that will be sealed though...

Looks great so far. I want to see what you think of it once it is in the boat.

I will be sure to let everyone know... I still need to figure out the port length. I know it's suppose to be 16, but is that the measurement from flange to flange? The instruction are not very good, but it says something about cutting 5" off from the pipe, so im assuming that is to compensate for the tips.

When I get a chance I will go back to the notes and see what the overall length was again.

If you are using a precision port, then once you subtract 5" from the total actual length and that is your center section.(it should be on that little paper in the box....they call that the instructions //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif )

length was 16.01", so let's say 16" ... so i should cut the middle section to 11"?

I am using a precision port.

Ended up doing all resin coating and 1 layer of fiberglass cloth on the bottom. Pretty pleased with how it turned out, and once it's carpeted no one will notice the mess hah...

Did a dry test run, hooked it up and everything... WOW is all I can say. Much better sounding than before. Its not carpeted yet, and im wondering if this wedge box shape will fit under the dash should it would be completely hidden.... We shall see...
