How to get my Exile to swivel...

[Sampp1963]

Hi,

So I want to install my Exile SXT65 on my Mondo tower. Unfortunatly, I don't have the swivel mounting clamp. Do you know if it is possible to change the clamp ? Or maybe I could remove the front grid, remove speaker and than rotate the connector show on the picture ?26008

I also e-mail to Exile....no answer yet, after 3-4 days.......... I see a lot of post referring to Brian from Exile...anyone has his e-mail adress ?

Thanks

I PM'ed it to you.

I didn't realize they even made a clamp that does not rotate...

Do you have a picture of the speaker without the arrow? Mine have a large thumb screw that connects the speaker to the mount....or are these fixed to the mount? If so, they are fairly old before Exile and Samson teamed up.

I think with the SXT65 you had the option for fixed or swivel. Mine are fixed as I have never had a reason to swivel them (I just turn the whole boat around if I want music going the other way.) I don't know if you can upgrade them after the fact but Brian can answer that.

No upgrade possible as told by Brian
I would need to swivel the speaker so the would be level.....I will take some pics today and show you what I mean...

Oh bummer! I see what you're talking about....upgrade time? The main reason I bought mine were the swivel and quick release option.

[Sampp1963]

Just bought the speakers during boat show weekend last winter....the saleperson told me it was easy to do some mod and make them swivel..... I guess he fooled me!!

See on this pic, if the speaker is to much to the level, it's not facing straight and not looking good....

They may have been brand new, but those were old stock, hope you got a great deal on them at least. I'd track that guy down for a word and selling something under false pretense

i made that conversion from fixed to swivel on my 2008 LSV, think i may be one of two people that Brian let do that, wasnt easy but was doable. I would be very surprised if he had the hardware available anymore as im sure the newer speakers have different hardware

I will try and pull some Exile strings for you.

You will need to wait until Oct as I can't work any deals during summer.

I can see if I can get you trade upgrade at that point.
Hit me up around then I'll see what I can do for you

Brian e-mail me and told me i would have to install them "just like that".... So I guess no mod possible.

Nice....in the mean time, I will try to reach the store that sold me the speakers and see what they can do. I tried to email them, no answer yet. It's construction vacation uphere, so to store might be close now. I will try to call him on Monday.

[Sampp1963]

I was able to reach the store today (which is 2 hours away from my home). He's ready to take back the speakers if he can find new exile with the swivel clamp. Unfortunately, exile has no more dealer in Canada. So might be expensive to get new one.
In the mean time, I went to see a audio store near my house. They told me that they could do mod to the clamp so the speakers would be "straight" and level.....not swivel, but at least it would look good.
