Subs in a 35 question
 

Hey guys I'm putting in 3 JL 10 inch subs under the back seat, my question is should I run the infinite baffle free air subs or the reg subs? I was leaning towards the reg since the back seat simulates a box. Anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks

Infinite unless you are going to build airtight boxes and have the required airspace per their specs. I have 3 JL 10's in my seat bench sound pretty good. Ran tonneau cover Velcro around the seat lid to make for a tighter seal and eliminate rattle.

Thanks that's what I used in my 29 and it did work good. I will go with them again.

Agree with the infinite baffle. That's what I'm doing under mine and many friends have

STUPID question why does my 35 have 2 battery switches? I only have 2 batteries dont you only need one 2 post battery switch for two batteries?

One for each motor. Each one is rigged individually and then together. On my boat port is number 1. Stbd 2. So if I put stbd switch on 1 it is now powered off the port battery and vice versa.

I have two 10 inch Alpine marine subs under my back seat. My back seat area, vents to the hullsides, and isn't in any way, air tight. They sound good. They're not gonna rattle anyones windows, but I'm pleased with the sound from them. The subs are powered from my Alpine V9 amp, which puts out 500 watts to the the mono sub channel. The sticker that came with the amp, actually shows it puts out like 586 watts during testing, if I recall.

I am powering six , 7" alpine marine coaxials off that amp as well. Those PDX amps are pretty sweet. Small, compact, good sound, and never gets hot.

Hope you didn't mount it on carpet! Lol

Looks like theses guys have your questioned answered but I had the same questions about subs when I did mine because it is fairly tight under my back seat in the 25 outlaw. As i understand the reg subs need the specific amount of air space specified where as the infinite baffle have much more leeway. The 3 infinite baffle sound awesome. It is strange though feeling a thump on your chest even at 60mph+

Bonus: some ladies enjoy the back seat more

If you wanna keep some storage space. 1 JL12 hits just as hard as 3 JL10's

Have you tried this?

I dont see anything?

This is what I meant

12s won't fit under the seat. I've measured. The floor has a slight curve to the bottom and it wouldn't sit right. I forget the exact number but you'd have to create close to an inch of space. This is in a 95

YEA same thing on my 2002 :(

I ran 4 10" JL free air M series in my 2004 35 and it rocked from inside the boat at 70mph and on the dock. Had a 1000w amp pushing them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]564925[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]564926[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]564927[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]564928[/ATTACH]

What do you guys use to cut the holes with?

Rotozip

like this one?

Yes. Just put blue tape on the surface to avoid scratching while cutting.

Also if you've never used one I would advise getting a feel for it on something other than your boat first. Lol

I used a jig saw with a fiberglass blade on sub cut outs, worked well. Anything smaller and the jig saw would be tricky I think. I use my dremel for other speaker holes with the radius/circle cutting adapter tool. Works well too just noisy and dusty

I used a jig saw last time on my 29 where the logos were and it looked ruff and chip a couple places but the lucky the vinyl covered it. I worried it will will do the same on this one but its will be under the seat and more visible. Any advise on that?

Thanks

I think I went pretty slow with the jig saw. Mine has a variable speed trigger on it so it allows you to move the blade very slow if wanted, which also allowed me to keep the saw on track curving around the 10" hole. But the teeth on a jig saw blade are pointed up so they remove material on the up stroke, so if you're cutting from the gel coat side the teeth should be hitting the fiberglass before the gel coat. If you want to play it safe tho a dremel with a rotary bit should not chip at all.

thanks for info I went with a rotozip it worked great but took awhile
