Putting Tower Speakers on a Mojo

[beat taco]

Is there any pre wiring in a 2013 Mojo's tower? Any tips for drilling, placement, etc.?

Is there any pre wiring in a 2013 Mojo's tower? Any tips for drilling, placement, etc.? No prewiring if not ordered. I have voiced several times why in the heck don’t xtp predrill a hole in the up tube before welding the back cross tube. It would be a cleaner install as what is happening now for most. They drill it on the driver side for the tower light wire...sorry for the rant...

As mentioned depends on the speakers...Exile clamp is large and would not fit where the factory hole is, so had to jumper the wire and move it inward. A friend was able to put WS Rev10 where the factory hole is, but had to make it larger to drill inside of the upright tube. It was a true wireless look install.

You could probably find other details with a search, but this thread should give you plenty of ideas on placement.....https://forum.moomba.com/showthread.php?22976-Show-off-your-tower-setup

And even more importantly - WHY DO YOU ASK?! Hmmmmmm? :confused:

Lol! I wish. I have a stoked buddy right now and the more I help him the more he can spend at Exile and Wakemakers.
He just got into and out of an I/O in the last year and picked up a new 2013 Mojo. He's already bringing a bunch of Exile gear with him.
For this year he is getting a pair of surf 9's and will be adding another pair next year. My goal is to set it up for the (4) now. Any pics of where anyone drilled would be a big help. I don't even know how the tower folds lol.

I plan on doing mine like the RoMoBoCo Mojo this weekend.

That's the plan anyway. We'll see when I get everything in.

Great pics thank you!

I saw this boat on a video they had posted (somebody here posted it for the Flow). I then looked and they had the boat on their site. I copied every picture they had for reference :-). If it's not still on their site, let me know and I can give you a link to the rest.

I sure wished they would start pre wiring from the factory as well. Im running 4 rev8 and it was a pita

It took me a while to figure it out after I drilled my holes yesterday, but I found a fairly easy way to run the wire in the tubes. I used my fish tape to run a real heavy test fishing line from the bottom to the top. When the tape was past my drilled hole, I would grab the fishing line with a hook from this kit (http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?productId=50158911 I had just happened to buy the kit earlier in the day because I needed an awl). I would then cut the line and tie it off. Next, I would repeat jumping from hole to hole. Once all the fishing line was run, I pulled the wire.

You can see here where my wires all exited the tube. I used the larger pre drilled hole on the right to connect 3 out of the 4 speakers to the main run.

What is with the group of wires just above the driver's seat?

[Woody929]

I used the larger hole where the grommet is to tie them all together.

The cable is a 4 conductor, so in that bunch, there are 4 leads.

1 is the main feed, 2 are for the right speakers, and the other is for the left speaker on the rear crossbar. The far left lead you see goes down the tower, and will tie in at the amp.
