bsipes30 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Well i had a little bit of time to play with the subwoofer box and a piece of plexi glass. the plexi is 8"X9"X3/4" and the cutout is one inch smaller all the way around. I put the hole where is did because it will stick up in the area where there used to be a cubby area. I realize that it doesn't show off the whole speaker but all you need to see is that beautiful back side! So now you will lift the seat and see into the box. It will be lit with the same leds that will light up the whole boat. There is 1/4 T-nuts inside all holes to hold it. I just need to find some sort of seal to seal it off. Here is a few pictures. How about green... or red... I like the blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsipes30 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well I ordered a little grill guard for the sub. I ordered the 12" model so that it would attach to the outside of the box and hopefully give me the clearance needed for the sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsipes30 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I've got some clean up work to do but I might do something like this on the actual piece of plexiglas on my box. This was way harder than I thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsipes30 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Here is the actual piece of plexi glass that is going on the box. It looks so much better when you have a profesional shop do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsipes30 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 We finally took the boat out for the first time with the stereo and it pounds! It still needs a little tweaking and I had an issue with one of the 4" polk speakers, the glue that holds the outside of the speaker had a come-a-part... But the sub pounds pretty good. it does get louder if you raise the cover up in the back. and it moves a ton of air through the port. all in all im very happy.The only changes that will be made before we take it out again will be... the bigger alternator will be here saturday i'll be going from a 75amp to a 140 amp. The hardest part about finding an alternator for a boat is it has to be marine grade with spark arrestors and stuff and also can't be to high output since it runs on a v-belt. I think the next years motor had a serpentine system sure whis i had that!I will also be adding a second big battery. Ive got enough room to stick an 8D battery in there. it's basically 2 group 31 batterys. It is the same battery that a lot of semi truck and mobile cranes use. Well i got the new alternator in(going from a 75amp to a 140 amp alternator) and it looks bigger for sure but still fits in the same spot. I got new belts and will install them as well. We will see how good it keeps up next time we are on the water! Here is the alternator sitting in its new home checking fitment. a view of the back original is on left and new is on right This is a marine grade alternator front picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocking.that.eclipse Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I am working on upgrading my boat alt right now too. Mike Singer is building an alt for me. I like what you did too. We had those same polk speakers in our last boat. They sounded pretty good for the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrys95civic Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm a huge fan of those Audiobahn amps, I have one from around the 2001 era also. Let me know if you want to sell that thing I've been looking to buy another so I can strap them.
