Yet another JL audio upgrade

Very cool location!!! Are you hoping that if you make the stereo loud enough that if you drift away again people will be able to hear where you are???? LOL

Thats the plan lol.

Sounds great...with them pointing straight back you get great output towards the back of the boat which is great since your getting max output in the front as well.

I might very well follow suite as it solves my issue of adding more sound in the bow, and a by product of projected sound towards the rear which means the people in the cabin should benefit as well.

How did you decide on this location?

The original plan was to mount them in the head rest In the front seats that face forward. But looking at how much it would cost just to push sound out the front started looking around and figured thats a good as sopt as any. I have not seen anyone else do it so i figured it was a "hold my bourbon and watch this" kind of moment.

@wallacerb just posted a video for those that want to put some 7.7 on a swim deck.

We live in Tarpon spring and got out to Anclote alot

A bit north for us, if you ever head down to Clearwater/St. Pete, give me a shout. Would love to hear the system.

I have 6.5 JL on my swim deck now, do you think its worth the upgrade to go with 7.7 back there?
I would think I would get a little better mid range.

I have 6.5s on the rear as well, and have JL 880 towers and when those are pointed to the rear I don't see how those 7.7s will be much louder then 6.5s unless you give them more than the 60-80 watts these JL amps put out...that's my .02 as I've also considered putting 7.7s back there so maybe I shut up and just swap my 6.5s for 7.7s on the rear and move the 6.5s to the bow like the big boys.

If you have towers it might be a marginal increase.... no towers and it's totally worth it.

I have 2 7.7 on the tower

Cant hurt then, especially since the transom always seems to be a good spot to hang out.

What would you power them with?

 

[Benny Sibbitt]

I have JL Audio M600/6 and M200/2
as of right now I have 8 6.5 JL Audio and 1 10"

I either may upgrade my M200/2 or just buy another small amp for my Sub

 

[Benny Sibbitt]

thinking about this mini JL Audio for just my sub https://www.crutchfield.com/p_13698402/JL-Audio-MHX300-1.html?tp=61752
This will open up 2 channels on my amp since it is bridged

 

[adrianp89]

Killer price on that right now. At full retail I would go with the PXA500.1 in case you ever want a second woofer.

EDIT: What 10" do you have?

10" JL Audio

If it's the IB5 that amp will be under powered for it (160watts@4ohms).

MX10IB3-SG-TB

Would work perfect then, for $99... can't really go wrong!
