Location for in wall mount subwoofer

[danester]

Hello! I have a 2016 C26LE- and I having a Fusion MS504 amp and a Fusion 10in Subwoofer (400W) installed professionally as an addition to the Fusion stereo head installed by the factory..

I'm looking for advice on where to install the "in wall mount" subwoofer- it is pretty big (10in diameter). The only area I can see install is located onto the fiberglass wall, when stepping down into the Vberth- to the left- just under the TV and just above the seating area. The opposite side of the wall has the fiberglass molded steps. Is there any issue cutting a hole there, and what things are behind that wall, under the steps? I appears the subwoofer would extend appx 6-8 inches into the hole cutout...Thanks in advance- Dana

What about under the passenger seat to the right of the fridge? (I think your layout is the same as me)

behind the wine fridge - perhaps facing the driver seat?

That may be an option- I do not have the wine fridge under the captain bench- so it is just storage..that could work...as far as under the passenger seat- the fridge extends back to the wall from what I can see...

If you remove the bulkhead covering the marine Air and the interior panel in the cave covering the port side hull it opens the area up to see where a good location would be and to confirm you are not going to cut into any wires. I had all that removed this winter to run a water line to the bow ,coaxial cable to the TV Radio/ Compartment and 120v power boat cable for an extra outlet.There are actually places in the cockpit that would be better. Under the starboard side step in the cockpit. There is all kinds of room there. It is somewhat of a boxed area which my provide better sound quality for a Sub.

Danester; interested in hearing how the install went. Did you put the amp behind the stereo or closer to the subwoofer and where did you end up placing the sub? inside or outside?

where did you run power from for the Amp? behind the helm?
