Hey guys I just signed up, I bought my boat at the end of last season and it needs a stereo badly. I'm looking for suggestions or ideas on what I can do to this thing to make it pound? Where to put subs and amps? I was thinking about putting a couple subs in the engine compartment, but then I thought it might get too hot, does anyone have subs in the engine compartment?

WOW you can put chit all over the place, you will get alot of opinions here.I have my subs in the cabin/storage area in the bow 6.5 under the back seat and have a set of 6.5 components waiting to be installed(don't know where yet).
Have fun

some of you guys have to have some ideas. Any idea will be appriciated

well i'm doing my install now and not sure if this is right.i have 1 jl 10" sub under my rear seat,6 mb quartz 6 1/2 2 upfront,2 middle,2 rear,2 6X9 in rear,1 jl 250/1 for sub,2 jl 300/4 for speakers,and a cap all under rear seat.this should rock good but not done hooking everything up yet.
