Subs under the driver helm

[dusty2221]

Hey David, I talked to you at the boat show this Saturday. We talked about adding a set of MB-8's to my existing Pro 80's and by the end of the convo you had me convinced I didnt need them!!

The 20 does not have the hump. The driver kick panel goes all the way to the floor. As far as what is behind it, I will find out this weekend and report back. I'd love to have something like hwat you've got in the Supra gallery, but I'm on a fairly tight budget for the sub so it looks like I will have to make my own. My concerin is the foot room. I want to make sure whatever I end up doing is either behind the kick panel with only the sub facing out, or even completely hidden like what you've shown.

Still have plenty of leg room. Marine Ply, capeted, unported box for a cheap 12". Sounds great to me.

Dusty,

I remember our conversation well. I was encouraging you to run a second pair of Pro80s instead of the MB-8s based on the ability to generate more output at wakeboarding range. With an EQ you can contour the four Pro80s to provide any type of sound shape for a variety of listening conditions. The inverse would not be true. This would also give you matching collars at no added expense.

If you don't have the elevated hump underdash then you've got lots of room and its a very inexpensive proposition. You just need a driver, a waterproof box and elevated mounting pads. Everything is concealed behind the factory facade and the subwoofer vents out over the top.

I double checked last night, I was mistaken. My 20 does have the hump, but I removed the kick panel and you are right, there is a ton of room to put an elevated box back there facing the kick panel, and keep it 100% hidden.
