BigOrange, if you have the Aviator tower, the one in the thread you linked is not the same. That is the s-bend tower.
I don't think the aviator has the same mounts as the Supra (MLA pics) or the S-bend (pics above) but I'm not 100% certain.
I think the Aviator is a flat piece of aluminium? I think I would use the collars so you can conceal the wiring. You may also be able to tuck them higher into the corners. I wonder how they are mounted on the boat in the classifieds?

Maybe I'm mixing up my tower nomenclature. Regardless, at least the top of my tower is identical to the pics you posted (KG) in the thread that I linked to above. Can't say for sure without seeing the whole tower.
The pics I posted in the thread you linked are the s-bend tower (also the tower on my boat) The pic I posted above is the top of the Aviator tower.

S-bend tower .....

So yes, I have been mixing that up. I do have the S-bend, in fact the same tower setup as the yellow boat pictured above -- in regards to those 4 Roswell cans mounted in the "plate" locations. So to re-vector the thread -- I'd like to consider HLCD's, leaning toward a pair of Rev10's to mount on the tower and it'd be nice to mount them in the factory locations (to those plates). That would leave me to blank off the lower mounting plates area. Any intel on where to source the needed materials?
To get the Rev's to fit in factory location, you essentially need an approx 1/2" spacer on the plate for the top of the speaker to clear the bottom of the tower.
I can't currently dig through pics for an example but check out the thread below ... I think it has some close ups ....

A machine shop can cut you some blanks for the lower spots. Just take the 2 you have to them. Regarding the top, I had 1/2" spacers machined in the same shape as the Wetsounds clamp mount and welded to the OEM plates since he ordered his without speakers they were already blank. They ended up looking like a complete factory piece.
If you are going Exile, they offer plates already cut and drilled for their mounts, or, you can have blanks cut and do the drilling yourself, which is the route we took on Russell's Mojo with S-Bend.
I definitely saw the Exile and Samson site's had the specific mounts for the S-bend this morning. With the fabbed setup yall used for SG, you order the WS x-clamps? Also, since it seems the S-bend tower has the blanks if you order a build with no tower speakers, can the blanks be bought from skier's choice, or better yet, from a forum member who has did the same mods as described above?
Also, mods - feel free to change thread title to "options for S-bend tower...."
Anyone have the dimensions or drawing of the spacers needed?
MLA pics above are speakers mounted on a Supra. It doesn't look like the bottom location matches. It's possible the upper ones are the same but I'm not certain. Here are a couple reference pics from my update thread that was linked above ....Quote:
