I have a customer that has a house boat that wants a sub outside that will make your eyes bleed . Does anyone have any recomendations on box designs or speaker manufacturers. thanks in advance

This is going to sound like it's coming from a 12vlt forum.

I've had excelent results building slot ported, down firing enclosures for boats, convertables, and any 'outdoor' venue. I usually use JL audio 12W3's. They are very musical, go way low, don't require a huge enclosure,and handle a ton of power!
By using a down firing configuration, you'll gain about 3db(twice as loud) by coupling to the floor. It may not make your eye's bleed but it can make your ears bleed!

Now all you need is enough mid/high's to keep up with the thundering bass!
Every day is a good day.......some are just better than others!

SV has started measuring their subs outside. I think their inside specs got too boring since even the $400 sub can hit extreme db levels. They needed something that would actually test the sub.

One of their latest midrange subs can do 95db at 2 meters from 18-150Hz (+-3db). [Link: svsubwoofers.com]
