Ok so i just purchased a 99 outlaw with a procharged 496 and it only has 102 hours on it so needless to say its spotless, but has the original audio.
Where would be the best place to mount the amp without causing overheating issues? I was considering the wall next to the seat in the cabin (opposite side of front passanger seat)
Also any recommendations on subs or Components? Ive had Alpine before and love them, not to mention the amps are small and easy to mount
Thanks for the help

I would highly recommend mounting the amps on the wall of the cabin to the left of the door as you walk in (port side). Mine unfortunately was mounted under the rear bench and it would constantly overheat and cut out. I sold the boat before I had a chance to move them.
As far as components, I went with Polk/Momo stuff in mine and had good results but as with anything, people have the brands they like the most. Good luck with the install.
P.S. - the cutouts in my 25 Outlaw behind the bolsters were barely big enough to fit the stock Clarion speakers, I had to widen the holes to fit the Polks. I also fabricated some spacers to give a little more clearance behind the speakers. (see pics)

ok electrical guys....so heres what im wanting to do, under the rear or on this sides i want 3 Alpine Type-r 10inch, 3 sets of the Alpine type-r 7inch 2 way speakers. What amp combo and ohm rating would you go with and why? I was thinking 4-ohm on everything but im open to ideas......id also like a 2farad capacitor to save on the batteries

First you would have to go with 2 or 4 subs. The Alpine amps, and just about any digital amps out there will not run that load. I din't know of any 6 ohm marine subs. If there is they are probably JL and expensive as heck.
The three set's of 7" is no problem, just run one set off of two channels of a 4 channel amp, then run the other 2 sets off of the other two channels at a 2 ohm load.
A cap will not save your batteries. All they do is discharge power faster than a battery does. Really only need them when you are running high current amps.

Hey nightlife are you the one that did the install on my Orange 20ft outlaw? City sounds about right. I was looking for your contact info but must have deleted the emails.
