Adding a second subwoofer to current stereo system- placement questions?

mirab1nd

Hey All- I have a 2014 290ec and i am really not happy with the stock stereo system.  Its just OK.  I am looking to add an additional amp and sub to the setup.  I know the wiring process but I am stuck on where i should place the sub to get the best sound from the deck?  The current sub is located in the cabin and really cant be heard if the stereo isn't blaring.  

Does anybody have any suggestions on a good placement spot for a sub without cutting any holes in the fiberglass?

Thanks!

I think you are going to have to cut regardless.  I have the 342 EC and mine is by my feet at the helm.  Sounds great.

Only way to not cut would be to mount it in a speaker box and put the box in a compartment under the seat. I had a big box with a sub in my 1989 chevy Astro when I was in high school in the 1990s. Did not help me get chicks. Like David my 10" sub is mounted in the glass under the helm and I get a lot of compliments on the dock on how my Rinker bumps

Here are a few ideas for mounting a sub in an existing compartment like under a seat.

Here you go accidental. All 342s are like this, sub mounted in to the glass at the feet of the skipper at the helm:

I installed my sub behind the sink/cooler area on my 270.  If you are going to cut holes just remember to look behind where you are cutting and make sure you have enough depth.
