Sorry guys for bringing up an old thread, but I lost the bubble on this one and just found it again. :smt001
Thanks for the info on tuning the JBL amplifier. I do have the 4-channel version, same as you and am driving 4 speakers with two of the channels and the subwoofer with the other 2, as you are. I will perform those steps you mention again this spring. When I "tuned" mine, I don't ever think I kept the subwoofer offline...may be part of my problem.
I do like Polk audio products in general and had recently used them in a Jeep Grand Cherokee to really improve the sound. I did build a box for my sub and put it under a passenger seat, but the box is a bit undersized according to volume (size) specs I needed.
It doesn't help that all of the other speakers are in the gunwales of the boat and really have no enclosure, but that's the design of that boat.
If I sell this boat this spring, I am really tempted to keep the JBL amp for the 280DA...especially after reading this thread.
Thanks again,
Tom
