So about a week ago, I got inspiration to do a quick and easy upgrade to my subs on the boat. I was running a pair of Infinity 10's with a 2 ohm load to my sub amp. Since the amp's 1 ohm stable, I decided to buy a 3rd 10" sub and drop it down to a 1.3ohm load and have the amp push out the full 1000 watts.
Because I didn't want to spend a lot of time or effort, I found a pre-made bedliner sprayed box and used that. My existing subs were installed without removing the foot rest. So while I could have hacked out the footrest to make room for tons of airspace, I wanted quick and easy. It was a little more work than I planned, because I had to remove the existing box and squeeze in the new box forward of it. But I utilized some of the dead space under the helm and the result is amazeballs. bass times 150%!!! Net cost was $169 and one evening of time.
So now I finally have bass that keeps up with the REV410s on the tower.
sub box for two 10s removed and the new box secured to the OEM footrest.
tucked away at the stern end of the starboard bow locker.

Two of the three subs are visible, so I cleaned up the LED's on those and reinstalled the box.
Went up Saturday morning for the closing day at Mt Hood Meadows. Then drove back, had lunch and launched the boat for some sunshine and 80+ degrees. Good sized crew for the stereo demo on Saturday.
Love the PNW for sunny blue skies on the mountain and sunny blue skies on the river for a 'double board day'. Snowboard morning, wakesurf afternoon!
We all got a laugh out of the name of this ship. I told my wife it was in honor of her. hahahaha.

Got the banner hung up in the carport. Looks good! (got it from a friend that changed brands, no I have no idea where to get one)
With back to back days in the mid 80s, I didn't bother backing the boat into the carport, Just left it hitched up and took advantage of lots of street parking in front of my house.
We hooked up with a Moomba guy from Texas that's in Portland for a while and took him out on the XLV. After his wakeboard run, our son was motivated to brave the 58 degree water and up his wakeboard game. He's always been nervous about crossing the wakes, so his Mother's Day present was checking that off with repeated wake crossing. (he's way better at surfing than wakeboarding).
I took out my drone and THOUGHT I got some rad footage of my son surfing. Unfortunately it never started the video. I was really bummed. The only footage I got was when I was bringing it back to the boat. (which was crazy hard to do with current ripping, waves rocking the boat and a bit of a breeze. talk about a moving target. So this was the only pic that was halfway decent. It was so stressful bringing my drone in to catch it, that I didn't even take another flight with my 2nd battery. And all the birds swarming it didn't help either.

LOL. Okay, so I've got a playpen bow and I find that unless the side cushions are centering the middle long cushion just right that the middle one wants to have the edge of it fall in the hole (especially when people are walking on it to board from the nose of the boat). After years of the starboard side cushion being pushed sideways toward the starboard side, the edge of that cushion wants to actually slip under the outer parts of the bow. so stuffing a noodle in there keeps that cushion where I want it to be and in turn keeps the middle cushion centered. It's totally a $1 ghetto fix, but it's been working fine and you can't see it when the cushions are in place.
I still love the playpen bow however. It's the last of a dying breed.2008 Moomba Mobius XLV. Monster Cargo Bimini, WS Rev 410's, Polk Cabins, 3 Infinity Subs, PPI amps, WS420, Exile BT, upgraded ballast pumps, up to 3,500+ pounds of ballast, Blue LED's...
