Center console subwoofer FSH

[Thor32766]

I am picking up my 255 FSH soon. I am looking at a subwoofer box going in the center console. I had two 8” jl audios on each side of the console on my FSH 190. They never performed to my liking. When I lifted the seat they were amazing. So maybe a box is a better way to go? Anyone have any pics of them in the console? Also what speakers are you guys using wattage etc? Any help would be great.

I am picking up a 210 FSH within the next week and I plan on doing a similar setup to what I currently have. 1 JL M6 10" sub, I don't want two because I don't want them competing for pressure in the center counsel. It will eventually be on a 500 watt mono JL amp in phase 2. In phase 1 I will have 4 JL 7.7 M6 Speakers the sub and a wetsounds SYN-DX amp with channels 5-6 bridged for the sub. Currently I'm running 6 7.7 JL speakers and a 10 JL sub on an older JL amp that's probably only pushing 75 watts to the speakers and 150 to the sub. It is plenty loud now and sounds fantastic so this new setup with higher RMS will be even better!

I installed two 10" Kicker subs. After some tuning and break-in they sound great.

I put an 8" JL Audio M6 Free-air sub in the top of the foot rest on my 255 FSH. There's plenty of room for 2 8" subs or a single 10-12". I spliced RCA's and a second AMP into the factory harness, for me it rounds out the sound great.

Here's what I did.

I really like this location. I have been noodling on this since I got my 210 FSH. I want to put up 4 x 6.5 Tower speakers and put in a 10” sub. Was thinking the Kicker KXMA900.5 to drive it all. At some point I’ll also replace the factory head unit and speakers. Maybe with 8’s in the center console.

Anyway I’ve been unsure as to where to located the sub, but now I’m going to copy this location. ?

I never got back to this post it seems… I’m happy with my one 10” two might be nice but I can’t say it would be worth it at this point the 10” hits great!

@Stubok Those are 7.7 JL's so your 8's would look good there too. My next audio upgrade will be the JL 8.8 Tower Speakers. I already have the amp for them all set up so, coming soon!

Well I measured the center console foot recess in my FSH210 and subs won’t fit. So back to putting them where the rod holder currently are. Think I’ll go with 2 x 10”- 4 ohm subs in parallel, fwd from the sub output on the kxma900.5, which can deliver 400watts RMS.

Thanks for sharing that link. I bought those Subs too and they just arrived. Still waiting for my Amp. I’m going to copy this install and relocate the 6.5” speakers.
How did you wire your LED Grills? Did you buy the Kicker light controller?

also interested to hear your experience with tuning them and any interference you were getting from the subs mirroring each other.
