No pics handy, sorry. The Bazooka tube has a built in amp. I put it under the helm so I didn't have to drill holes, and I can take it with me when I leave the boat in a public area. (Keeps it from walking away.) My son's high school friends think the the sound is awesome, so I must have done something right.
It muffles the bass a little bit if you shut the door, but I usually keep mine open; it keeps the wind off the admiral, and provides easier access to the drinks.
Another easy way is to use a five channel amp. I had one in my old truck, and used it with a sub box behind the rear seat. There are several on Amazon in the $200.00 range that provide 4 channels at 50 watts with 200 to the sub, all in one simple unit. A tapered sub box for a pickup fits nicely between the helm and the ice chest. I helped a friend do it this way in his boat.
I didn't like the exposed location under the rear lounger because my kids are always dripping wet. I keep fenders and extra life jackets under that seat, and didn't want to have to build a custom box to protect the back side of the sub.
