Best Amp Locations on 1997 SN196

[bdunkel]

Addin 2 alpine amps to my 1997 sn196 to power 4 db650's and 1 10" Kappa Perfect. Looking for suggestions on where to locate amps to keep out of the way and also clean, dry and cool.

Sub/battery suggestions would be very welcomed as well.

I beleive there is a board imbeded in the hull on the observers side in the front. I mounted mine on the kick panel inside the front storage. Its a little trickie as its not perfectly flat so I used a piece of Lexan and standoffs' My sub in on the raised area behind the drivers footboard. I wanted to keep all the weight in the front since we ski. My buddy suggested that I put 2 or 3 8" subs in the carpeted section at the bottom of the rear seat .

Thanks. Those are the places I have been eyeing. Hows the sub sound up and under?

It sounds great. Do you have an enclosure or are you using an open air one. My enclosure really needs to be cut down to fit but it. works great.

I plan to use a .603 sealed box. May go a tad bigger if space allows but want to squeeze a battery up there as well. Sure gets hot working in the bow!
