Hey Neverenough do you have a vent for subwoofer? If not how does it sound without one?

Sorry I missed the post. I've got a single Treo 10 in one of Screams ported enclosers. It's pretty good and doesn't take up much room. I would probably do a 12 next time but I'm pretty happy with it.

I think he's asking about a vent for the storage area under the observer's seat.

Removed the trash door and having a grill made for it. That's an in process deal right now. I installed the slide in air dam and had to remove walk through trim panels.

Thanks Markj thats exactly what i was wondering. Im gonna install a 10" JL in a ported box and gonna see how it sounds like that before I cut into boat.

I put two 12's in mine and it definitely needs major venting or I risk rupturing a kidney while sitting in the observer's seat.;-) My plan is to make it a winter project. I sometimes open the observer's seat back to release the pressure and it sounds so good. It makes a huge difference, but it's totally impracticle to leave it open. My biggest fear now is that I won't be able to vent it enough after having been spoiled with what it sounds like open. No one wants a swiss cheese boat. Side note: my installer said Nautiques are the toughest brand to put any kind of "real" bass into.

best way to get louder more punchy bass is to not run infinite baffle subs. enclosures are the way to go. one of the ideas behind IB set ups is lots of drivers or as much cone area as possible.

i have a 12 sub in a ported enclosure under the observers seat and its a lot better than the IB set up on my dads boat.

There's no doubt that an air-suspension subwoofer is superior to an infinite baffle once you need a certain output level. However, you rarely see a correctly executed IB subwoofer.

i agree with your second sentence 100%. a true IB set up on a boat would be hard to execute.
