Sony Subwoofer Installation
 

Hey All,
I got two of them I am putting into the scout... I noticed on the back there is a vent hole in the magnet. Do these need to be placed into a box? Not sure and havn't read the directions yet but, I thought I would ask?
Thanks,

It should say something about mounting procedures in the destructions in my experience with peavy bass amps if the sub has a vent in the speaker the cabinet it is mounted in will need to be vented as well imo

Any thought to what size volume it should be???

To sound right they need to be in a box about a cube big. Put some pillow stuffing into so it thinks its a bigger box. The vent hole is just to cool the voice coil thats all. A sealed box will work best a vented box would have to be bigger and since thats a small boat you prob want to keep size and wieght down.

What size subs & where are they to be mounted?

They are the 10" Sony Marine Subs...... Where to mount, I still have not made up my mind yet.... Thats why I was trying to understand the requirments so I could start coming up with a spot.... I will post a pic later tonight of what I was thinking.............
Thanks,
Jr.

Are they free air?

If you go to crutchfield.com or any other site, there should be a list of what size box for that sub if you wanted it sealed, ported, or bandpass

Step one.


But who reads directions? :evilb:

Kinda what I was thinking...but hey...I've been in the same place!:lolhit::drink::drink::drink:
