Which Sub/Amp route should I go
Hey guys,
Planning to add some bass to the scout... The head unit is a Sony CDX-M30 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158CDXM...8529025&awdv=c I currently have 4 speakers hooked up to the radio. They are Sony XS-MP1621 2-way http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...9#.UuHufdLnbs0 A while back I bought two Sony XS-L100P5M Subwoofers http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...9#.UuHu7NLnbs0 I also have a pretty large Sony X-plod. I think this is the one I have... http://store.sony.com/WFS/SNYUS/en_U...FUFo7AodkSYAFQ I thought I was going to find a good place to install the 10" subs but, that has not happened. I really dont want to put them in a conventional speaker box and place it under the bow if I dont have to. Should I return the subs & amp and go with a Bazooka? http://www.bazooka.com/products/mari...fied-Tube-P498 Really don't know much about either or which is the best way to go... What's your suggestion? Also, what size battery would you suggest? I definately do not want to go with two... Keep on mind, my duty cycle is at most a half hour.... I don't crank tunes for a long extended amount of time.. Jr. |
If your gonna run an amp. I'd recommend 2. I starting and 1 deep cycle. You can remote mount the deep cycle anywhere and it will run electronics longer.

One deep cycle should do you fine for a while. I have mbquart nau460 amps. Haven't hooked em up. Puttin in dads 30 scarab sport. Gonna drive 2 jl 10s free air and 4 6.5s. Should sound decent.
I'd go with biggest deep cycle you can fit |
Which subs you think I should go with? The ones I have or the tubes?
|
I was gonna run the jl free airs. I know they aren't as good as a sealed enclosure, but I've heard for free air the jls are the best.
|
If going Free Air, I would go JL. However, if putting them in an enclosure I would suggest Kicker or Rockford Fosgate. You don't need a marine sub unless they will be subjected to water/washdowns. I ran a Kicker L7 12" Sub in the cuddy cabin (under the v-berth and behind the port-a-potty) for many years without issue. Also the sound is much better from a sub if you can put it in an enclosure and put it somewhere in a cuddy cabin facing the bow. Similar to putting a sub in the trunk of a car facing backward. One L7 12" in my Velocity powered by a Kenwood 1800 watt Class D amp was much louder (and sounded much better) than everyone that had multiple subs mounted outside in the cockpit. Obviously not everyone has the room or cares to mount their subs in the cuddy. So each installation will be unique.

Im going to be running 2 MTX 10" marine free airs mounted on the front of the back seat. I have an oldschool hifonics zues to power them till it gives up, then I will get a marine amp. Should work with the free airs, that amp pushed 2 12's to ungodly volumes before.
