Yes, You cant really tell the difference unless you crank them up and hit the switch. It not a HUGE difference but a significant one. The XM7s have this as well but its inside the case if i recall.

Ian - Looking good on the install. Let me know if you want some tuning help. I cant remember - is there a sub going into this boat also? I vaguely remember something about and XI12D. Maybe I got that mistaken with another boat. In any case, whatever tuning help you'd like. I'm "hear" for ya. haha!

Yep, starting on the box in a few minutes actually. Got whatever 12 you recommended and a Xi1500.1
I also think I've got Chase convinced to have the XM9's painted lime green :) Another one brought over to the dark side, errr well bright side I guess!
Got into the box building tonight.
Because I'm using a lot of the air space behind the "hump" I figured it would be easier to get the box in and mounted if I took that piece out. Much to my surprise it is only held in with 2 screws.

In the previous picture you can see what I'm going for, which is a 2.2 cubic foot ported box elevated off the floor, and butted up straight to the back of the hump, giving the appearance of the factory install, with better than free-air performance.
Got the hole cut;

I haven't decided in the placement of the port yet, as I need to mock it up in the boat to be certain where I want it; I think it will be on the right.
I'm veto-ing the factory carpet on the baffle and going to wrap it in either white or grey vinyl.
Dude that looks really sharp! What material did you use for the box?
Ian, great friggin install.
I got more exile gear coming, can I bring the xlv to Ian's custom audio and Led Paradise....
