    12" Mid/tuner question2

    Will it damage the power head if I add a baffle plate to the exhaust outlet of an older 12" studs up mid similar to a 15" mid plate. I realize it will hurt performance since this is the ONLY way exhaust gets out. I just want to quiet it down a little when lake boating.

    Just remember restriction on exhaust exits can cause excess heat build up ...

    I can't block it off completely because this is a 12" mid so (((NO))) exhaust goes into the lower. I have an offshore mid on my STV and I made a plate with about 8 or 10 holes drilled in it and it now sounds more like a Bass mid.
