Subwoofer Location

[Benny Sibbitt]

Is everyone getting a lot of rattling and shaking from their Subs?
Is there any way to reduce this?

I cut a backing ring from marine plywood and then glued and screwed it to the inside of hole for the sub. The screws for the sub will go through the fiberglass and into the wood ring. If you didn't do this it will help the vibrations.

Interesting!

@Benny Sibbitt Do you not have a reinforced ring on the inside where you're sub mounts through the fiberglass into the ring?

I don’t think so, I would have to take a look.
That sub was already installed when I bought the boat.
I don’t see the fiberglass moving much in that area. I just hear a lot of rattling everywhere
