    Default Have you upgraded the amps on your Outback V ?

    How are you guys installing these amps in such a tight space?

    I am in the process of installing a Kicker ZXM700.5 in my OBV and OMG it hard to work in that tight space.

    I am also planning to add a ZXM450.2 next season for a pair of tower speakers but I don't even think I have the room to add a 2nd amp.

    DG, I have a JL 6600m and a kicker zx450.2 mouted sideways on an amp board on the outer wall toward the stern of the boat before vent chase. Make sense. I had to move my batteries up behind the bow seat port side.

    Your 2008 may have the amp board on the back of the bow seat already, that is where some have placed it. If i remember mcmoomba did his amps there.


    yes the 06 to 08 OBV are very tight with everything....

    My amp was mounted on the barck of the boaw seat. I was able to remove the amp board from the compartment to mount the amp. There was no way I could mount the amp otherwise.

    I was thinking about creating a new amp board to accomedate the 2nd ZXM450.2 for next season.

    Do you have pics?

    LOL tell me about it I fit a Kicker zx2500.1 and the zx450.2 and a 6 channel JL amp all under there with 3 batteries so it can be done!!

    I dont have pics of those amps but here is my old setup same idea though. I had to mount the amps to the amp rack after it was in the cubby. Then slide it back behind the wall and finish the cables.

    Morgan nice job, must have been a b$#@h getting to the alpine.

    My two are mounted like that, on the side wall with battery moved.

    Dg I will look for some pics. I won't be to the boat until next weekend the 12th and can get some then.

    They are in mcmoomba photo album

    Todd your boat is much different its a mini lsv so it has the depth and your hole folds out..lol

    Where are the batteries?
