Supra Pro Edge Tower speaker mounts for ws, exile, and kicker. Potential group buy

[freshturk]

Just throwing this idea out there to gauge some interest on this.

I've teamed up with Mikes Liquid Audio (MLA on the forums) to get some brackets fabricated to mount any wet sounds, exile, or kicker pod to the existing factory Polk locations while maintaining the swivel capability.

No ideas on price yet but that will be coming relatively soon and obviously depends on the number of individuals.

Just post something up if you may be interested and then we can move further along.

For those that are interested, we are working out the final details. I think freshturk will fallow later with more info and how to proceed. In the meantime, I wanted to expand on what we have in the works.

These will be aluminum tower pod adapters for the Skiers Choice Pro Edge tower OEM speaker locations.

They will not be polished or power coated. I will work on those options deeper into winter, or work on that per request, if no one is in a super big hurry for their brackets.

We are working on adapters for both the upper and lower OEM locations.

Speaker pod options:

Direct mount to the Kicker KMTE-S

Wet Sounds X-Mount pods

Wet Sounds Pods with TC3-S swivel clamp

Exile pods with swivel clamp

Once there is an approximate number to be made, I can then get an ETA on fabrication.

Shipping will be USPS Regional-A box, so it should not be more than $10.00, just to give you an idea of your all-in.

OEM Upper:

How much are the mounts?

[freshturk]

Alright, pricing is as follows:

Upper mounts: $150/pair
Lower mounts: $160/pair

This is a good deal because chances are if you go to your own installer, youre going to have to pony up the cost of the initial fab work. This way were doing it for you.

For orders please either PM me or email me at [email protected]

These are probably going into full production by the end of the week, for those that are interested. Also working on getting a quote for powder coating. I will probably only have a few extra pairs done for in-house use, so if you are interested, Let fresh know.

The prototype base plates have been test-fit, so we are ready to go to production. I am also looking into having the blank lower base plate done that will allow the lower factory speakers to be removed when only a single pair of aftermarket speakers will be used. These blanks would cover the cavity left by the removed lower OEM speakers.

I have test fit a working prototype for the lower and upper spots. I am making a couple minor adjustments to the final production run and these will be available. Again, these will work with the Wet Sounds TC3-S clamps and X-Mount pods, Kicker KMTS pods, Exile pods and possible others.

Update:

We got Freshturk's boat completed. I am really happy with the outcome of the custom mounts, although the lighting in the pics is horrible.

While we were in there installing his Wet Sounds Rev-8's on the custom fab'd adapters, we pulled out the factory tower amp to make room for his SD-2. To bring it all together, we installed his WS-420 in the under dash mount. Re-tuning the in-boat/sub amp made a huge difference. I was pleased to see Skiers Choice install the woofer in a sealed enclosure. I did detect a couple of small leaks though, but way better then running it IB. Seems to be room to do a larger sealed or small ported enclosure with no loss of leg room. For a further improvement, the OEM amp is capable 400W rms to a 2 ohm sub, where as the factory sub is only 4 ohm, thus receiving only 200W.

For those that do upgrade the tower amp wattage, you will find that the tower is wired with 14ga speaker wire, and wired for LEDs, but the boat side of the tower harness is only 16ga. We pulled that stretch out and upgraded it to 12ga.

We upgraded the 4ga cabling from the switch C post to BUS to 1/0. The factory 8ga to the tower amp was replaced with 4ga. The amp's GND runs direct to battery, bypassing the GND BUS.

sounds and looks unbelievable. Big thanks to MLA for all the hard work

We have updated the design to now accommodate the new Kicker KMFC9 and KMFC11 Surface-mount HLCDs. https://www.kicker.com/kmfc-11-inch-...l-tower-system . Uppers are done, lowers are in production.
