Yeah, I think it was the clamshell part that made my mind instantly go to bandpass. Isobaric is something that isn't really recommended except to people that like to waste money or have more drivers than someone else.

I have 4 JL Marine free airs that POUND, most of the quality is in the seat face, mines made of 2.5" of wood and fiberglass to resist the seat facing flex, thats where quality comes to play for feeling and sound, I am a fan of free air with proper amp wattage, I run all 4 off a JL1000@1OHM (STABLE) and 2 JL 4 channels to hadle all the other speakers, the boat sounds amazing, to use free air you need a good clean true watt amp...the sound is bad azz...

Hey Tim, do you think i'd be better off running the Fosgate amp I have for the subs?
At 2ohms, it puts out 1000W RMS according to the birth sheet. So thats 500w to each sub? the subs state they can handle 300W per sub.
Or, the PDX-V9, which puts out 600w RMS at 2ohm to the sub channel, so 300W per sub?

The older stuff seems to be great quality like the old punch amps and such, but the newer Rockford does not seem to be a true watt amp... great rule of thumb for amps is 1.00 a watt.... if you pay that you will get good quality power...
A big power amp will push a free air sub properly, I like the free air because if your Fountain is like my Cig the extra space is much needed under seat for things.... and if your seat is not super thick and subs move the seat for sure back it with 3/4" plywood to stiffen it up, so many people overlook that stuff...
