Best way to face your sub behind your driver's side kick plate

[LUV2SKI]

I am placing my sub behind my kick plate. It fits best if the sub is facing the front of the boat.

I also have a few screw holes from my previous install. Should I seal them up?

I had that same fiberglas enclosure and love it. I may just install that in my new LSV I would suggest sealing the holes.

Cheers,

Chris

How did you have your fiberglas enclosure mounted? Did you have it hanging or on the floor? Can I just fill in the holes from the inside with JB weld?

I used the enclosure in my prior boat that was a Sanger. Since its fiberglass I just set it on the floor behind the captains chair and it worked well. I have not determined how I would use it in my LSV. JB weld would do the trick but I would do it from the inside.

You have a pic of the whole enclosure? curious where did you get?

I have used JB Weld a lot over the years and this is an instance where I would not. Marine grade silicone, aquarium grade silicone, and maybe even glass the holes and then silicone them. With heavy bass notes I believe the JB weld would potentially crack around the sealed holes and leak air and make the woofer not as efficient and not as tight. Def seal the holes. Any sub box should be as tight as possible to get best results.

Not sure wear to find the enclosure. Was in my last boat when I bought it.

My sub is firing towards the bow of the boat. My last boat fired towards the port side. I notice no difference between the two different positions.
