Under the cramped deck, Steve worked diligently to connect the proper wires in sequence for the mono application, dual-voice-coil HP12D2 12-inch subwoofers. | 
The preexisting subwoofer boxes were still in place and carpeted to match the boat's interior. After measuring the airspace, Steve determined the amount was sufficient, then slipped the HP12D2 subwoofers into their new homes. |

All screwed in and nearly ready to thump hard. | 
Two amplifiers were planned for each side of the forward under-deck bulkhead. More Scosche wiring was installed to ready the amplifiers for installation. The large Orion amplifier is a four-channel HP-4800 for one half of the boat while the smaller HCCA-D1200 unit powers the subwoofer. |

Steve, being the smallest mortal among us, was stuffed under the deck to finish the amplifier installation. As you can see, these two amplifiers account for the left-side speakers. Another board, which was covered in contrasting blue vinyl, was hung on the other side of the boat. | |
From The Driver SeatOnce everything was checked, Jos made certain all of the parts were powered up. Then, we slipped a CD in the head unit and fired it up. Being that Doug only likes hair metal, the choice of musical sampling left much to be desired for him, but we have to say that Orion and Audio Concepts hooked up this system right. It is loud, and as long as the volume isn't turned into ludicrous levels, clear as a bell. We absolutely love it. It's almost too bad it's in a boat, because if we had something set up like this in our daily commuters, it could possibly cut down on our antacid use from sitting in all the traffic we have here at home
