i don't think it will be bad there, reason is that the subs are bass, and they are low to the ground there, and thats where the factory system puts them.

The kick panel that was there from the factory was cut out. I built a box behind which is now inside the storage compartment and put a new face panel on. Cut the holes with a jig saw then mounted the subs. I made the enclosure air tight and to the exact air space that was required. These things bump so hard that sound waves shake off the water when it is really calm. Let me know if you need to know anything else.

I don't have a Tige so I don't Know your space but I've seen/herd a lot of boats and by far the best bass comes from the open space under the drivers dash.
I have two subs ( 12"JL W-6 ) one in the observers compartment and one under the dash both facing the sides just for kicks I unhooked the observers side and you hardly even miss it. way better sound uder the dash. just my opinion.

Thats what I am thinking too.. You think its better to point the woofer to the side of the hull rather than pointing it down towards your feet?

ok so here is what i did. i took the box i had and cut it in half leaving one sub still sealed in the box and took the other and put it under the driver side in the wall. man it rocks. left the other in the passenger side, and it works well as long as you have it pointed up and angled at the seat. but the whole thing sounds awesome. my girlfriend said she could here my boat from the house 1/2 a mile away.

Thanks for sharing. I will let you know what we decide and post pics when its been completed.

by the way i mounted the sub under the console higher and to the left than the cut out. it hits and reverbs off of the part of the console that is extended some covering the leg space coming from the left side. the part that has the cup holder. and the sub is not visible from anywhere in the boat.

Looks good banks. I need to get some pics of my amp set up it looks good like yours the question I have for you, is does the amp vibrate the crap out of the dash and what not? if not, I"m sold, i'm mounting mine there where you have yours. Otherwise I think I'm gonna mount it down into the boat. Thanks for the info.

nothing from the amp, its mounted right under the factory installed amp, don't get any bad vibrations from teh sub either. heck you could always put a bigger sub in and just start lower to the boat if you wanted, as for me i am happy with the set up i have, next venture will be tower speakers when i can afford them.
