I was pretty excited to not have to drill a 10" hole in my 400 to match the stereo setup I had on my 340 previously. This weekend I completed the install of my amps and I am baffled by the sub's performance.
With a free-air JL 10" in the stock location (starboard side @ helm) connected to a dedicated amp I am not getting much output in the cockpit. I have the gain all the way up on the amp and I can see the sub moving substantially but the output just isn't there.
In my 340 I cut a hole in the storage position under the helm seat. The same exact sub, same exact amp, was VERY loud. Lots of low end. More than I needed. I had the gain maybe at 3.
I'm assuming the confined wall space at the helm position is not working for a free-air sub? Anyone else have this experience? I'm wondering if I need to relocate to my previously winning location and cut some fiberglass. Kind of a bummer though....I hate cutting glass.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
