I currently have a customer with an outdoor pool setup that consists of 8 Niles audio RS8 Pro rock speakers being run by a Sonance 1750 amp. It sounds great but unfortunately he plays it at rock concert volume and listens to a lot of hip hop and bass heavy music. I believe this system is way past what an inground sub could do and I'm looking for like a a 15 or 18 in cabinet woofer that I can place under the deck which would be sheltered from most but not all weather. I could probably do some modifications to the cabinet to make it more weatherproof but just looking for ideas or experience if anybody's done this before.

That James burial sub is a beast! I've been pleased with output from the 12" Episode burial subs too. Placing 1-2 of them around the yard with a 1000w crown amp would really improve the sound especially if there's no sub in place now.
Does the Sonance amp have DSP so you can apply a high-pass filter to the rock speakers to take the stress off of them and the Sonance amp? I think it's important that aside from adding a sub that you also have a plan to block some of the bass going to the existing speakers.

I think this is a great solution....The Episode has surprising output....2 of them would probably do the trick and yes getting a High pass to the rocks should make the system perform and not distort as much.

It may be overkill, but I always do the CDI2000 with 2 subs with Episode. I have 1 yard with 24 4" SATs and 4 12" subs. Sounds amazing.

Another alternative: [Link: rockustics.mseaudio.com]+1, sometimes these guys are a perfect fit especially if client listens at 11 on a regular basis. Have occasional jobs that Madison Fielding ties in better too. Landscape systems are great but they don’t always fit the spec.

Yes the amp on the rocks is a Sonance DSP2-750 so it does have a nice section of crossover options. I'll look into all these suggestions. Thanks for your time and input
