    Sub enclosure help

    It's been years since I dabbled with car audio but I've decided to put a simple system together for my Sport Nautique. With space being a premium I don't want a large sub enclosure so I selected a Phoenix Gold Titanium 10 sub which can use either a .55ft3 sealed or 1.0ft3 vented enclousre. I'm going to fit the sub under the passenger seat but the little reading I've done suggests that a vented enclosure will provide better results - especially in an open space like a boat.

    So, here's my question for the stereo guru's, would a sealed enclosure be suitable in a boat or am I better off figuring out a way to increase the box volume and placing it in such a position that I can still access the bow of teh boat from under the passenger seat. Thanks for the help.

    Most have better luck with sealed sub enclosures.

    Try to move it from under the passenger's seat, that is about the worst place for a sub in these boats. If you are stuck with that location, add some vents.

      Mikeski, thanks for the advice. The location is fine on my 97 as it's is very much open as it has a raised floor leading to the bow - lots of space for air to move around.
