Does anyone know what model the sub is in a 2020 212x? Recon fa10 or Revo?

I recently installed 2 additional amps to fully power the entire wetsounds system but I think the sub is lacking.

I will either add an additional or upgrade existing or change to 2 upgraded subs.
My amp puts out 600w rms.
Any suggestions or comparisons?

Which amp did you add? I ran into same issue but found my amp couldn't properly understand the low-level unbalanced output from the HU, so I had to keep the factory amp and use the outputs of the amp for my signal.

I added a JL400/4 and JL600/1 to the system. I also added an Audison bit one digital signal processor to clean everything up. The system is super loud now with factory wetsounds speakers but the sub lacks in my opinion.

Sounds like you need a M7 sub.

It’s only available in a 12” and I don’t think there’s room for it. I’m thinking 2 M6 10”s
I had two of the old 10IB5s in my old boat... they def got down.

You're chasing a dragon when it comes to bass in a boat. You can upgrade your sub, sure, but you'll never get the same sort of hit you'll get in a car.

I would disagree. Money can do a lot of things. I mean your not going to crank out 140+ in a boat, but you can get still get a boat louder than a lot of cars.
