spindoc Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Anyone have any experience with them. 6" , 8", 10"? Passive or already amplified? I'm considering buying one, refurbished perhaps, to put in a boat. Any suggestions/recommendations would be terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Parker Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 No clue, but I thought you might find it funny that when I saw your thread title, I assumed this was about a restaurant. :lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 @TheDuece Well that didn't work. Seems like a good question for Deuce though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete W Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I haven't used one but bazooka makes some that are for marine use, check out Crutchfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Really depends on how much sound you want... I'd always go with active over passive. Wiring is very easy for most people. If you've already got speakers on the boat and are just trying to add a little something extra, a 10" would probably do the trick, but I wouldn't go any smaller if you want to hear it while you're out on the water. If you don't have speakers at all, I'd spend the money and go with JL Audio Marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make a 250watt powered sub that I might try. And yes it's the marine version, but I think I can keep it out of the weather for the most part. I'm not sure really what I want, if that makes sense, but more than sound I get out of the system now. Great highs and mids, but if I'm gonna rock Atomic Dog in the middle of the lake, I want to feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka will give you nice sound, but only so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTX makes a nice compact little powered sub I like the look of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
