Ok, so that krypt EQ was the pre-WS/SQ version so it has the woofer volume tied to the in-boat lever and woofer boost/Hz knob, right? Plays a role in it for sure.
That Kicker ZX700.5 can deliver 400+ on the woofer chnls, so its got some room to upgrade a woofer.
I doubt that woofer is in an ideal alignment just bolted through the hull. This will certainly impact its performance and SQ.

Yes, that is correct on the eq.
I went and pulled the sub out of curiosity. The sub is a Kenwood KFC-W2512. Which is funny because the instructions that came with the boat are not for that sub. This is how it came wired from the factory. I never really messed with it.

Google comes back with that woofer as a 10". Looks like it as well. Its also a single 2 ohm, so its only getting 200W rms from the amp.
If you are up to the challenge of building an enclosure, pretty much sky's the limits. Tons of good 12" woofers out there that would do well with the amp's available 420W rms. Just get a woofer that will yeild a final 2 ohm impedance.
If you are looking for a much less involved upgrade, go with the Wet Sounds Revo-12FA 2 ohm. Just open the hole up, mount the woofer and re-tune the system. This gives a woofer designed for an IB application, larger woofer and one that gets a huge bump in wattage.

What is the best type of saw to cut through that fiberglass if I wanted to open up that hole? Jigsaw? Reciprocating Saw? Other? What do you pros use?
