If I install two subs in front of boat (SEE PICS) in the bow facing back to the driver would it sound bad, as in not good?
And who makes a good 12" marine sub that is not overpriced for rec. boating?

Lots of people do it...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
The problem is the possibility for cancellation (if the box is too far up front), as the stowage area can act as another enclosure. It's all about wavelength.
I've seen subs hit hard enough to flex the deck, but little bass comes out.
Where would the best place be to add subs for the best sound? Rear sear bottom or sides or...?

My personal preference in under the back seat, but you can put them under the bow. Either place has the potential to get kicked, and you're gonna give up some stowage area, but I like under the back seat for two reasons:
1. Less weight up front
2. Less chance for cancellation firing into the bow area (instead of out of it).
Like I said, lots of guys do them under the bow...sometimes it's not an option. Kinda like beer preference....
...if you like Coors Light, do you not drink if you buddy only has Bud Light?

Ranks right up there with the beer can grill.

Is there such a thing as a "quad rotor sub"?
LMAO, funny stuff. I just do not want to waste time and money on something that won't sound as good as if I put it somewhere else.
I have mine put up front also they surprisingly hit really hard and can be heard outside also. I open the two hatches when I play them really hard.
Here's a pic of it...

We do a lot of boats at my shop and whenver I can put subs under the bow we put them there. I have never had a problem putting them under the bow.

Just curious...what kind of parameters do you use for the cabin (bow) install?
What (if any) characteristics do you take into account for box and/or subwoofer design for a bow install?
