Utopia - subwoofer & amp locations

[jimmy2litre]

Could really use some help (with pic's too) of where I can put an amp and a subwoofer in a 2002 utopia 205....

Can the amp go under the gove box somehow - but how do I get in there?

As well, thinking that sub-woofer could go in lower part of walkthrough and use the hull as enclosure... wondering if anyone has done that?

Speakers - replacing originals... but want to add a pair by back bench seat handles... am I restricted 'cause the side cubby doesn't go back far enough and yet it interferes by going back too far to just cut a hole it seems...

help?

Did you get everything figured out? Wasn't able to get online much at all. Let me know what You still need.

my install is scheduled for monday... i"m hoping my 10" sub can fit into the lower walkthrough part...

was just going to run it without a box - using the hull as the enclosure... hope that it will work... any thoughts?

as well - the back speakers... wondering if my utopia is different then yours... my side cubby holes seem to look larger than yours and therefore may interfere with back speaker locations...

this is why I hired a professional installer... I'm just not good at this stuff...

If I had a choice, i would put the sub in a box, even a simple sealed box. A decent installer should be able to easily incorporate a box in that location. You will get far superior performance with a box

as well - the back speakers... wondering if my utopia is different then yours... my side cubby holes seem to look larger than yours and therefore may interfere with back speaker locations...

I will posts some pics of that part of my install, check my thread

Everything is in and works mint... The sub was put in the lower walk-through part and used the hull itself - as the enclosure... not ideal, but it sure works great... the polk speakers exceed my expectations... easily

the only thing is that I realize I will need to add 2 more bow speakers... when crusining at speed, there is just too much of a variance between that and in the main seating area...

I will try and post pic's tomorrow...

I just recently bought the same boat and am interested in doing the same to mine. Any pics you have would be AWESOME!
