    Default Sub install in a 2006 moomba outback

    Thanks in advance for your help.. I am looking to install a sub in the drivers side console. How is the best way to run the wire to get it from the drivers side to the passanger side?

    pull the starboard bow cushion and open up the port observers compartment door. You will be able to see (and feel on both sides) the opening that goes all the way through under the walkway to the bow. Eazy Peazy!!
    FWIW - If your considering putting a sub in the foot rest you might want to rethink the idea of a sealed or ported box in it's place or installed on top of the footrest. You'll be much happier in the long run.

    I just install my amp also on my outback 2006.....I didn't know there was a pass way. I passed my wires from one side to another under the seat in the bow!! I also build a small box for the sub.... I'm 6'3" and it not in the way at all

    I don't recommend it as you will most likely get noise from the engine, blow fan, and wake plate.

    Absolutely not. The cables feeding the helm buss are only intended to carry the load of the boat systems and some additional low current draw accessories. They are not sufficient to carry the load of an amp that might be drawing 50A of current. The amp's ground cable needs to terminate directly to a battery ground. The amp's B+ needs to terminate directly to a battery B+ post or dual battery switch, depending on your specific setup.

    Your pop is most likely caused by the wake plate motor itself. Its a relatively simple fix that involves wiring in a couple of CAPs across the switch. Try doing a search here as I think Phil with Kicker has posted on this subject a few times and has specs on the CAP's and a wiring diagram.
