I really like this!!! Makes me think about my port side under seat storage with my 242 X. They put in a large wall to segment off the ballast bag, but I'm pretty sure it is way too high, and if I did something like this, I could add quite a nice bit of storage above the bag and the batteries and amps.
Hell yeah. I like it. It just hides things so gorgeously. I'm going to redo it over the winter when I can take my time, and fiberglass it before carpet. Call this a prototype thing to see if I like it. Well I like it so let the planning begin
Don't just put a drain on them. You're going to want to seal all the way around them as well. Damn things leak like a seive.
Awesome. Appreciate that info for sure. That's the only thing I can come up with unless it's leaking under cushions as well when I wash
Yeah they are mounted directly to the floor. I thought about raising them up, but rushed putting it in. Not a bad idea at all to do like a seaboard type floor mounted on seaboard legs. Then do a false floor. I'm not too worried about water though. Worse it will get is overflow from when I wash the boat. Done that already. They don't get wet but areas of carpet do. Wetsounds are waterproof, but they are electronic sooooooo. What your saying is not a bad idea at all. Good winter project sounds like

I can see that. The amps stay super cool though. Like I feel no change in not running, and running for hours. Wetsounds thing I guess? Then again it's not super hot right now. 80-95°. However, the whole side of the boat is open bow to stern under the gunwales
Huh....one of my Polk amps used to over heat and go into protection mode until I took the speakers out of series (factory config). Never heard of an amp that doesn't get hot....huh....Yeah they are mounted directly to the floor. I thought about raising them up, but rushed putting it in.

Venting I use corks to hold the seat partially open while under mooring cover. Otherwise I don't vent. Right now I'm 100% against cutting into the boat. That may change over time though. As for heat Wetsounds amps stay cold as ice even after hours of pumping.
They definitely don't get hot. Not really even warm. Maybe I'm too used to Rockford or Jbl, but these wetsounds are unlike any amp I've used. Next time I go out I'll shoot them with the infrared thermometer before and after running
Wetsounds are NOT waterproof. They are built for humid applications but are definately not waterproof. As for heat, they get warm and depending on demand may get hot. They have a built-in protection mode for this and if they're being pushed too hard will shut down to protect itself.Yeah they are mounted directly to the floor.

Yes. Yes it does. Rattles very very bad. It is totally going to get annoying I can see that coming. Leave the door open, and it sounds great though. I'm thinking about maybe trying to seal the door and latch with something. Don't know if all the rattles will be gone though. It hits extremely hard.
