2008 AR210 Free air sub placement?

[Setec_Fl]

I’m on my final part of my 2098 Yamaha AR210 sound system upgrade and need some placement advice. I searched the forum and can’t find any pics of a 210 in my age range with a free air sub, so I need some advice.

I need some ideas on a size and placement for the sub.

I’m considering this sub

Or this one

Wet Sounds REVO12 High Power S4-B Revo 12" Sub with LED Ring & Grill - Black Subwoofer & Black Closed Face SW Grill

This bundle includes a Wet Sounds REVO12 High Power S4-B 12" 4-Ohm Marine Subwoofer, RGB LED Ring Kit, and Grill Powder Coated Cast Aluminum Frame - to withs...

Diameter: 12.6 inches
Mounting Depth: 4.92 inches

Wet sounds 10” Revo 4 ohms. Maybe the 12” if I can find a spot to put it.

My thoughts are:
1. In the bench opposite of the captains chair
2. In the wall beside the captains chair under the throttle controls (assuming there is room?)
3. In the bench behinds the captains chair
4. Other options?

I don’t want the speaker to get damaged by someone kicking it or a cooler hitting it but I also want it to sound the best it can. It doesn’t seem like there are a lot of flat spots that are decent for a sub on these boats. So I’d love to see some pictures of what some of you have done.

My system so far:
- Fusion MS-RA70 head unit with swim deck controls
- Wet Sounds SYN-DX 6 channel amp (channels 1-4 each to a revo speaker. Channels 5&6 for the sub)
- Wet Sounds SYN-DX-2.3HP amp (1 channel each to a Rev 10 tower speaker)
- 2x Wet Sounds 10” Rev10 tower speakers
- 4x Wet Sounds 6.5” Revo speakers with light rings
- Wet Sounds RGB LED controller
- Wet Sounds WW-fuse ANL-Marine single fuse
-Wet Sounds WW-Fuse-Dist-Block 4 post fuse/distribution block
- sub: Wet Sounds 10” or 12” 4 ohms sub (tbd)

I went with a 10" JL and it hits hard! I have heard good things about Wet Sounds so I assume a 10 would be more than enough. I placed mine in the helm so that if faces toward the gunnel and the bass has time to mature and bounce back at you. It looks like the grill on the Wet Sounds Woofer is even beefier than the JL so I wouldn't be too concerned with things bumping into it.

Do you have a picture?

Boat looks amazing! But yeah, trying to figure out the best spot on a boat similar to mine.
