Rockford M282-Wake Tower Speakers?

[blackcup]

Hey guys ... Unfortunately, I don't have it in my budget to go all out and get some of the big boy brands ... but I was in my local shop today and the guys had some good things to say about these. I will be getting two pairs of towers. They were going to match them up with a Rockford R300x4 Amp.

What are your thoughts/experience with these? And would that amp match up pretty well with these towers? My audio experience is pretty limited :cool:

I currently have 2 amps in the boat now ... a mono block that is powering a 10" sub and the stock amp is powering the 2 factory tower speakers. My plan was to switch the factory amp from the 2 existing towers to the cabins. I would keep the Mono to power the sub. And then have the new RF amp power the 4 towers. Would there be any issues with having these 3 amps running simultaneously? I have the dual battery system from the factory.

Thanks!!

I have purchased the same speakers. You are not going to be happy with that amp. I have a kenwood 325watt 2 channel amp powering these now and they are way under powered. These speakers are rated for 100 watt rms. The amp you have spec'd is only pushing half that. I contacted Rockford Fausgate last night. they recommended the M600-4D amp If you want 100 watt rms for all 4 speakers. it is a little bitey though.

hope this helps.

I am looking for a 4 channel amp that will power 2 6" kicker tower speakers and the 2 8" RF M282 speakers. I also do not want to break the bank.

For some reason my first reply is not showing up so this may be a repeat.

I am looking for an amp similar to this to power 2 8" M282 tower speakers and 2 6" kicker tower speakers. just don;t have another $500 to throw at it since I just purchased the RF speakers.

[David Analog]

The RF tower speaker is using an infinite baffle type driver. Infinite baffle means that it's intended to go in an expansive baffle like a gunnel cavity, door or trunk. So once placed into a very small pod and rigid air mass that really limits the bass response. Kind of like tightening a guitar string and hearing the resonance go higher. This is not uncommon among most tower speakers. You won't get the same big sound from that speaker like you would if it was flush-mounted in the boat. On the flipside, as an 8-inch it is a lot of surface area, and that is just the kind of acoustic leverage you need for tower speakers. As long as your expectations are realistic about the midbass response, you should be happy.
However, with certainty, that amplifier is not what those speakers deserve. 50 watts to each tower speaker is very lite when you consider the challenge of how they're used. You need to find a way to double that power.
It may be a budget buster today, but there is actually savings in doing it right the first time.

I would suggest the P500.2 to drive them. Makes wiring a lot easier too.

What are your goals for your system? Do you just want "surf speakers" or chillin out on the water speakers? Or do you have the desire to have music at wakeboard/ski speeds and distance?

[blackcup]

Hey guys thanks for the info. I knew I would get a straight answer here.

We only had the wakeboard out once last year .. so just surfing and floating would be the primary use of our system.

These 282's are $600 a pair. That's $1200 just for the speakers ... add an amp ... install and I'm just shy of 2K. That sounds pretty pricey to me but I guess all you Exile/Wetsounds guys are dropping quite a bit more??

[KG's Supra24]

Are you dying to have 4 speakers (2 pair) on the tower?

At a 2k price tag, it's tough to deny what you get in a well powered pair of Rev 10's.

Power perspective put to numbers ..... Their recommendation was 50w per speaker for a total of 200 watts on the tower. David recommended doubling the power to 400 total watts across 4 speakers if you stayed with the M282. A properly powered pair of Rev 10s could be 350-400 watts PER SPEAKER ... That's double the power, an obvious audible difference.

The 8" HLCDs (XM9 and Rev8) would be slightly less power but still the same idea ... substantially more authority from the tower. Spending 2k, you should be wow'ed by the tower, imo.

If you aren't concerned with wake distance at all, you could look into the WS Icon series or Exile SXTs. They could be had a lower price than their HLCD counterparts.

[blackcup]

Wow ... so essentially quadrupling the output compared to what the local shop recommended. That's insane.

I was just stuck on the "look" of the 4 towers. I have the basic 2 factory cans and it's always bothered me ... mind you they are just the 6".

I haven't heard a set of HLCDs but I am definitely leaning more towards a better sound in and around the boat than being able to project it 50-100' out.

[Dusty's Mom]

There's a BIG difference between 6.5" and 10"!! I mean that's like Drew vs Berg.... (I'm not telling ;))

[bergermaister]

Don't know about Drew, but I appreciate a nice rack.


On the tower.

And stuff.

(Sorry I haven't called you, been busy)

If you want the look of 4 pods and/or bimini clearance is an issue, then stay the course with the 2 pair of 8" coaxial pods and a solid 2 chnl amp. But for that investment, you can get into a single pair of Rev-10 and amp.

The Rev-10 makes for an awesome surf/party cove setup due to the depth of the mid-bass and overall output. The Rev series do not sound like any other HLCD to date.

[blackcup]

Hmmmm ok now you really have me thinking. Maybe I can do the 2 x towers and an amp now ... and add speaker 3 and 4 next year. Would you recommend the Rev series over the Icons? Like I said, I def want to have a cleaner, crisper sound in and around the boat.

And are the Exiles close to the same price point? I only ask because my local dealer can get them ... but not the WS. Closest WS dealer for me is about 3 hours away.

The exile speakers tend to run a bit less pricewise than the comparable wetsounds.

But it sounds like you're really gunning for more of a surf style speaker. In the exile line, that would be this package:
http://exileaudio.com/store/index.php/tower-speakers/surf/sxt-surf-package-1.html
Or even better, bring your amp down to 2 ohms and add another pair with this package:
http://exileaudio.com/store/index.php/tower-speakers/surf/sxt-surf-package-2.html it kinda blows you budget a bit, but it'd get that "four speaker" look on the tower you like the the sound would be impressive, I'm quite sure.

In addition to being a little less expensive than the WS, they will come with the rotating quick release clamps and the neoprene speaker covers.

I've only heard the XM9's in person, so I can't give you insight on the SXT9's, but most I've talked to said they have better overall sound quality than their compression horn counterpart.

I really don't know how the exiles sxt9's would compare to the fosgates or even the JL Audio speakers. the biggest advantage that the Exile and WS have is typically that they are the go-to brands for compression horn speakers. So I'm not sure if the playing field levels at all for 'surf speakers'.

I would suggest the Rev-10 over the Icon-8 in your application, but not the Rev-8. Both Wet Sounds and exile offer an 8" coaxial and 8" HLCD, but for a single pair setup, the larger Wet Sounds 10" Rev-10 HLCD would be the way to go over 2 pair of 8" coaxial.

Contact Wet Sounds. They have a CA distributor that I believe you can order through.

Just for comparison, a single pair of Rev-10 with swivel clamps, suites and Syn-4, is $2075 (US). Thats a 400W rms p/pod setup with more surface area and deeper mid-bass.

[KG's Supra24]

I don't think there is a lot of difference in the pricing. Some relevant questions would be ....

1. Are you the type that will ask, "wonder if I could hear it better if I had gone with HLCDs"?
2. Are speaker LEDs important? (I regret not doing it)
3. Am I going to eventually want 4 speakers? Make the right amp selection now.

I think the general consensus is that the Rev10's will give an 8" coaxial a run for its money in sound quality (due to size) and play significantly louder. The 8" coaxials (Exile SXT9 and Wetsounds Icon) will sound warmer around the boat in comparison to the 8" HLCD's (Exile XM9 and WS Rev8 ) while the 8" HLCDs will project further.

You seem mostly concerned with near boat sound quality which leads you towards Exile SXT9, Wetsounds Rev10 and Wetsounds ICON8. There are other brand options also but I was sticking with the primary 2 mentioned. With that said ... if you are the "what if" guy, go with the REV10. Do a pair now and add another later if you feel the need.

Solid advice. although I have to believe that if he did go with the Rev10's that he'd likely be satisfied with the one pair and probably wouldn't need to add later on...

Wow, it actually possible to have a thread like this without mud slinging! *applause* :-D

[blackcup]

Great info. Thanks guys.

My budget is 2K max Canadian ... with install. So that makes the packages at $2K US wayyy over what I can do now. With our shitty exchange + install I would be easy 3K.

That would bring the SXT9 package that Trayson posted right in my wheelhouse. I would be at $1650CAD before install. Definitely want the quick release clamps because we do leave the boat overnight occasionally at the dock down the road from my place.

I am pretty confident that I will be very happy with the sound that any of these speakers offer. We don't blast it down the lake ... and couldn't care less who can hear me. As for LED's - yes I would like to have that option. And yes I am thinking maybe just get 2 towers now and add another 2 next spring ... so I would def want the right amp. Would the XM30.2 be a good choice? Or should I get something better?

[blackcup]

Oh yah ... and I would like to have the ability to add an EQ to the setup as well. Probably an add on for next year or maybe this year if I can throw enough coin together

The 30.2 is what Exile packages as the amp that would run a pair of the towers at 4 ohms, but it's also the same amp that you can use to run 4 of the towers at 2 ohms. So it would offer you the expandability you seek.

I don't think that it's very easy to add LED's to exile towers. I'm pretty sure their clamps don't facilitate that. so unless you wanted separate wiring, it's possible that you'd have to do without that feature.

The two EQ's that typically come up are the Exile ZLDMK2 and the WS420SQ. I have owned both. There's a ton of people that are quite happy with their ZLD's. they certainly accomplish allowing you to have a master volume and control the 3 zones (tower/cabin/Sub) separately. they have a good build quality. I tend to favor the WS420SQ because it's two EQ's in one chassis and you can set the bass/midbass/mid/treble separate for the cabins than you would for the towers. I like this feature (but to some it's not important because they set their crossovers on the amps and want to control the EQ of the system as a whole rather than the EQ differently for the cabins vs towers). The WS also has a PA system built in. some love it, to some it's a novelty, and to others it's just a potential source of noise and interference.

There's also some knockoff units and some others that are just basic faders. Having the zone controller really adds to the experience. it's really key on a boat to be able to control the bass/cabins/tower zones separately. And the master volume knob. Really adds to the whole experience.

No need to pass on the LED option. Wet Sounds offer cast poured RGB LED rings for all their tower speakers. With the swivel clamps, even the LED leads are hidden in the collar, so no exposed wires or external connectors to modify.

[KG's Supra24]

If I redid mine, I would no doubt add the LED rings. I regret not doing it.

I was saying that if he went with the Exile Surf package 1, that he'd probably have to pass on LED's. It sounds like he wants:

an 8" surf speaker
detachable
quality amp to power them at 4 ohms with the ability to add a 2nd pair at 2ohms
possibility of adding LED's
At $2k or less including install in Canadian dollars.


Obviously, the Exile surf package 1 gets him everything but the LED's. That's what I was saying. I know he'd be just as happy with a pair of Icon 8's with the appropriate 2 channel amp. However, I don't know enough about their pricing and if once you add the accessories if LED's would still be in his budget. And he said he doesn't know of a local WS dealer, so there's that.

The Icon-8 w/TC3-S and Syn-2 package gets him the LEDs with not exposed wires and still be able to retail the full function of the swivel clamps. If you add a male/female connector and external leads for LEDs to the exile pods, you loose the swivel function without leaving a long dangly lead.

Yep, that's definitely true. My bolded comment above was that I don't know if that would be able to happen for his budget. Maybe it's within the realm of $2k CAD, maybe it's not. I have no clue honestly.

Obviously, the Icon "package" that you mentioned is the full meal deal and hits all his wants--I just don't know enough about the pricing of all the items on the menu to know if he can afford it.

[blackcup]

Just priced out the Icon 8's (swivel + LED) with the Syn 2 amp and based on the pricing on their site they would be $1680US. The SXT9Q (no LED) w/ the XM30.2 comes in at $1305.

What would make the Wetsounds package worth ~$400 more?

[MLA]

If you back out the LEDs, its a $210 difference.

Lets start with the amp. The Syn-2 has a detailed input circuit, allowing for summed mono. This equates to a more expensive amp board. This is great for a surf setup as it allows for getting all the program material from both speakers.

Speakers: the Wet Sounds TC3-S uses a retaining fork to support the pod and carry the load, with absolutely zero force put on the speaker or LED terminals. Once the pod it mated with the collar, the terminals do not move against each other. No wear, no flexing, no tiny spring tab to wear a witness mark on a headphone post. The pod is coated with an automotive grade finish with plenty of UV inhibitors. The mid-bass driver, cross-over and tweeter is designed and tuned for a tower pod application.

[blackcup]

Hmmmm ok so very close then. Crutchfields has the Icon8 swivel (no LED) for $899 and Amazon has the Syn 2 for $509. So all in $1410 for WS vs. $1305 for EX.

What would make the Wetsounds package worth ~$400 more?

I'm not getting how you arrive at the price.
First, the Exile price is $1450, which is then $1305 in a bundled package. The Wetsounds price shows no bundled discount price, however, you can get that exact same discount on a Wetsounds bundled package.
For the moment, drop the Wetsounds LED option since the Exile has no such option.
The Wetsounds Icon8 with a swivel clamp would be $900 plus a Wetsounds HT4 amplifier, with the same 300 X 2 as the Exile, would be $450. The two together are $1350 less a bundled discount of the same percentage would bring you to $1215 for the Wetsounds package.
So...the Exile package @ $1305...the Wetsounds package @ $1215. Upgrade the Wetsounds to the Syn2 if you ever want to add a second pair of tower speakers and the total discounted price becomes $1305 for either package.
Both are 8-inch surf speakers with 1" metal dome tweeters. In this case both have the swivel collars. Let's not enter into the Ford versus Chevy debate and say the sound quality is a toss up since the size and make up are essentially the same.
From there I see two differences.
1) The Wetsounds has a provision to add LEDS within the swivel collar. The Exile does not.
2) The Exile collar swivel/disconnect system has been known to have some issues. It's chronicled right here on this forum by Exile end users and owners. Maybe it's only a very small percentage. Exile will certainly take care of you if you have any kind of a problem. However, to me, that is secondary to the desire to avoid any and all problems period....ever, if possible. The Wetsounds swivel/disconnect system is absolutely problem free. This is one of those areas where I believe the Wetsounds has better build quality. Some contend that differences are too minor and 99% will never know the difference. That's the call. Not bashing product here. This particular difference is not subjective when it's fact. And you specifically asked what makes a Wetsounds cost more. It just so happens it doesn't cost more in this case. It's a misconception that the Wetsounds is more expensive with the same bundled discounts.

[blackcup]

Great thanks ... I hadn't seen or heard of a bundled discount with WS so yes you are right they are the exact same price. I was going off of the individual prices of the speaker and then the amp.

So the Syn 2 will allow me to add 2 more towers down the road? And I have the option for LED's at a later date? And I'm assuming I could add the EQ as well?

Wet Sounds has a large dealer network, so they dont discount direct to the consumer, undercutting their dealers. I see no reason why a dealer would not offer a package discount.

Yes, the 2 chnl Syn-2 will allow for that 2nd pair later. Yes, LEDs can be added later. I would wire for both options now, then its a simpler plug and play later.

Yes, add an EQ later would be nothing more than mounting, wiring and reconfigure the RCA's

[KG's Supra24]

Yes, the 2 chnl Syn-2 will allow for that 2nd pair later. Yes, LEDs can be added later. I would wire for both options now, then its a simpler plug and play later.

If LED's and second pair are anywhere on the radar, do yourself a favor and follow that advice.

In regards to the pre-wire, is there different wiring for the single color LED vs RGB?

[MLA]

In regards to the pre-wire, is there different wiring for the single color LED vs RGB?

Yes. If all you want is single color, you only need a single small gauge 2 conductor up the tower for both pods. For the color changing effect, you need a controller and a 4 conductor wire up the tower = constant B+ then ground trigger for each of the 3 colors.

[blackcup]

OK good to know. I am talking to a shop here in BC that is about 3 hours away ... but I am expecting their pricing to be quite higher then buying through the US. Any place that you recommend for best pricing that offers free shipping within the US?

Just got back from a local dealer who surprisingly carried both WS and Exile. Saw the Rev10s. They are frickin HUGE. He didn't have the SXT9q from Exile on hand but said they are very close to the same size as the Rev 10s ...

Does anyone have a pic of the SXT9Q's or the Icon 8's on their tower that they would mind posting??

Thanks

[MLA]

Yes, the 8" xm9/sxt9 pod is close in hang height to the 10" Rev-10. The biggest difference is that the Rev-10 pod is much deeper. The 8" Icon-8 pod's hang height is closer to the old 6.5" wet sounds Pro-60 or exile sxt7.

[blackcup]

Hmmmm something isn't right. The Exile site shows this:

SXT9Q SPECIFICATIONS
Size and Weight
Hanging Height: 10.25 inches (260.35 mm)
Speaker Height: 9.0 inches (228.6 mm)
Width: 8.875 inches (225.425 mm)
Depth: 9.5 inches (241.3 mm)

Hanging Weight: 6.1 pounds (2.7 kg)

And then for the SXT65Q it says this:

SXT65c Technical Specifications
Size and Weight

Hanging Height: 10.25 inches (260.35 mm)
Speaker Height: 9.0 inches (228.6 mm)
Width: 8.875 inches (225.425 mm)
Depth: 9.5 inches (241.3 mm)

Hanging Weight: 6.1 pounds (2.7 kg)

They are exact same. Obviously an error. Anyone know the exact dmensions on the sxt9?

[blackcup]

Yeah it was a web error. Found the proper measurements on another page:

SXT9Q

Hanging Height 10.5 in
Speaker Height 9.9 in
Speaker Width 10.0 in
Speaker Depth 10.2 in

REV 10

Front-Back Depth: 13"
Hang Height 11 9/16"
Width: 10 5/8"

[David Analog]

Odd than you are comparing the sizes of an 8-inch surf speaker (SXT9Q) to a 10-inch HLCD (Rev10).
The Wetsounds Icon8 is the size and type equivalent to the Exile SXT9Q. Both 8-inch surf speakers with similar pod mass.
The Wetsounds Icon8 dimensions are:
Hang height 9 9/16"
Width 8 3/4"
Depth 11 1/2".
So the Icon8 and the SXT9Q will have about the same displacement but the shape is different.
The Exile pods are wide and shallow while the Wetsounds pods are narrow and deep.

[blackcup]

The only reason I was comparing is because I got to see the Rev 10 in the store.

[KG's Supra24]

You saw the rev10?

Guess that's end thread? :p

HAHAHA ... man they are friggin HUGE. There are guys here with 4 of those bad boys?!!? Maybe it was just the store setting ... but IDK if I could see even two of those on my boat!!! :eek:

Just getting my build done and I would no doubt do the led rings and.wiring NOW. For the minimal increase in cost I couldn't imagine pulling it all back off to add them! I'm extemely happy with 1pr of 10s and wiring is all there if I want to slap on a 2nd sometime down the.road. doubt I will but it's ready
