    Subwoofer placement

    My research indicates that the RotoMold seats will significantly reduce sound transfer from a Sub. The thick plastic absorbs a lot of energy as the sound passes through, whereas the Switch Back and fiberglass helm are open to the plywood floor, which actually spreads the sound and adds to the...

    Alumetron vs Sharkhide on Pontoon

    Could not resist - a brief AI summary of the 4 solutions attached. SharkHide may be a challenge in states that have banned solvent-based anything (like California). 1. Best shine / classic aluminum look → Sharkhide or Metal Jacket 2. Best balance (appearance + moderate use) → Alumetron 3...

    Stereo Upgrade - Amp & Sub: SubWoofer Design & Installation

    Issue with the front compartments - they are not open to the flooring. As I understand it - While the plywood will transmit the bass, the rotomold seat bases will absorb a significant amount of the bass waves. Your best bet would probably be the Helm, maybe downfired. Or, try the Benny sub...

    Trim level when boating

    I have a 2021 Benny, it was an add-on and required the Simrad and Electronic interface with the Engine. I LOVE it. As Jack noted, it can still use a fine-tune adjustment - but for the most part, you just go. Even better - it connects with the Simrad programmed run profiles - so when pulling...

    Lilipad Easy-Step Ladder ?s

    17" - it should fit, but then you need to modify the interior handle so there is enough room to step through!?

    Anybody tow their Bennington with a Ford Ranger(2019 to current model)?

    Great advice above - if your Benny, Trailer, Cargo, and Payload are under the vehicle capacities - no issue (tow capacity, pin capacity, payload capacity). Make sure you have the right hitch - helps when you get the tow package installed by the factory. However, often the trailers are NOT...

    Anchors

    The Eternal Debate - I have 2 original Slide Anchors (well, actually about my 4th set - I tend to lose one per year). I carry a Small (19lbs) and Large (26 lbs) - so no wind, some wind, very windy - no issues, my 26' with Double Bimini does not move. The Original Box Ancher by Slide Anchor...

    Problems with Rockford-Fosgate PMX-2

    Gemini says: It sounds like you have a classic "signal routing" mismatch. When moving from a Kicker KMC10 to a Rockford Fosgate PMX-2, the wiring harness might look the same, but how the unit handles the outputs is likely the culprit—especially regarding your "sub volume" quirk and the dead...

    Heard the L and LX series are being discontinued after 2026

    So, I would suggest there is very little issue with the L model going away from a purchase perspective - it is more of a marketing label than worrying about finding spare parts. The introduction of the M line was VERY CONFUSING. In some cases it had less than the L, in some it had more. The L...

    Stereo Upgrade - Amp & Sub: SubWoofer Design & Installation

    LD50 - Same here! Expanded research suggested the big benefit with Marine Amps is a protective coating they have on the circuit board that prevents damage from moist air. So in hot, dry places like AZ, it's possibly less of an issue. In places like Florida, they will not last. However, in...
