[outbackv]

hey everyone i got just bought a 2008 moomba outback v and have spent the last few months custumizing it i put some new decals and other small things just seeing if anyone had any other ideas to spice up the boat?

also was wanting to replace the factory speakers and was just wondering how much of a difference would it be in sound upgrading them considering they already sound pretty good.....
ley me know thanks everyone

I think your original question is a little broad for everyone. The amount of mods/upgrades that can be done has no limit!!!!! This is an excellent tread that I'm sure will give you tons of ideas. https://forum.moomba.com/showthread.php?t=6688&highlight=mods

Search for other threads that are more specific to the things you might want to pursue. I recommend you proceed with caution, LOL, it is rather easy to get carried away. For instance, I just boat my boat last fall, I have only test drove it. Since then, I have upgraded the cabin speakers, installed tower speakers, dual batts, seadek swim pad, GIII reversible pump ballast upgrade (soon to be GIV I think), bow filler cushion, and I'm sure I am forgetting something. Anyway, you get the point. Money can fly out the window pretty quick, when actually imo the boats come factory with plenty of great options .

As far as a sub goes. Lots of options. I would check out audioformz fiberglass sub enclosure, remember regular sub box MDF is going to soak up water and may only work for a short time. Here is one of the answers I received when I asked the same question:

"If you're looking for sub ideas, I just had one installed, and it is by far my favorite addition to my boat so far. I stole the idea for my setup pretty much directly from what Tazz3069 has in his boat.

I bought a Boston Acoustics G3 10" sub off of ebay for $165. This sub doesn't need much air (I believe .65 cubic ft.), so I had it installed in a fiberglass sub enclosure from www.audioformz.com . The enclosure is attached directly to my kickplate, so it sits above your feet, and faces down.

It's almost embarrassing how hard this thing hits. My friend has 3 subs in his boat, and I'm pretty sure my bass sounds better.

Just an alternative for a sub idea if you're not wild about building a box or cutting a hole in your kickplate.

Congrats on your boat!"

I am in the process of finding out if the custom Exile LSV box will fit in the OBV. Watch the Exile audio tech session that was recently posted, lots of good info, and the sub box is featured. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.

What are your stock cabin speakers? I had Kenwoods, no rubber surrounds. They did sound pretty good, but I chose to upgrade to Polks db650s, best bang for the buck. They can take some decent amp power too.

Hope that helps

[you da man]

The stock cabin speakers sound decent until you hear a boat with good aftermarket speakers then you'll look at your stock speakers and want to replace them. You can replace all 6 cabin speakers with much better sounding Polk db651's for $150. I think a subwoofer adds more depth to a boat stereo because just having cabins makes the music too bright. When you get to tower speakers don't waste your time/money on non-HLCD speakers.
