Wow! didn't mean to for anyone to get any feathers ruffled, MLA and David both gave me some great guidance with picking out my Moomba's amps, HU and help design my sub-enclosure (which I will finally finish covering this week!) and it sounds great!!

That's why I posted my question for our pontoon boat as I want to get the stereo installed before this next season (April?) and thought that at those rediculously low prices compared to the JL W6s I would just get four - but I am NOT an audio engineer by any means and that is why I do listen to others' input. I am a structural engineer who grew up as a carpenter and I can build (and take apart) anything.

So let's actually get this design started, since I am starting with a blank sheet as I have, well nothing! No amp, no HU, no speakers, no idea what I am doing...

The boat is currently getting repowered (a new 150 4-stroke California friendly Merc) and we are going to replace the front soft canvas cover with a hard deck for more room up top. We can easily have 15 teenagers on a trip.

Anyway throw me some suggestions...

  1. Go with one JL W6 in a ported enclosure?
  2. Use 2 or 4 of the Sonix cheapies?
  3. Keep the enclosure on just the lower deck?
  4. Bolt the enclosure to the bottom of the upper deck?
  5. 2 subs next to each other under a seat on the bottom deck?
  6. Go get some Pork to throw in the WFO (wood fired oven)? (in the backyard not on the boat)



And yes, I have fixed the windshield on the Moomba since that pic was taken!



Thanks, and I look forward to your guy's input, Eric.
