So I have 2 hds live 9's now. One on bow and one on console. Thought about getting a 12 for the console and moving the 9 up front with the other.
Or I also considered trading the 2 - 9"s for 2 - 12" lives.
What do you guys think the advantages or any disadvantages would be?
Are you using Active Target? if so go big 12s all the way.
No Live Target..... yet anyway. Im always behind a year or more in technology.
Then its all personal preference. Carry On
much of it has to do with your style of fishing and your budget…. If you do a lot of off shore scanning, your setup will be different than if you a lot of bank beating…
If you plan on getting AT, Basshopper is right, you want 12 up front for that.
And with the new active target 2 release, you’re gonna see a lot of guys unload their current active target so deals on a used kit will be plentiful.
Personally, I like having the two smaller (9”) units at the console. This lets me run one unit for maps and downscan, while I sidescan with the other.
united in the pursuit of bass.
I ran a combo of 12 and 9 before I upgraded to 4 12's...
As stated it's all about how you fish and a bit of personal preference.
If you search/scan for structure/fish/etc then putting a 12" at the console would be beneficial.
If you intend to get Active Target at some point, or 360 even, then a 12" at the bow is more beneficial, alongside the 9" which you would keep for mapping or 2D typically.
Well, how old are your eyes? LOL. Mine are 54 years old and I wish I had gone with a 12 at the bow instead of a 9. Sometimes I have to bend over to see detail.

2 - 9s at the console is not bad, and a 9 and a 12 is not bad up front.Originally Posted by HarrisonPhoenix
