Ive never heard anyone with a 3/4 ton say it tows too good, I should have gone with the 1/2 ton.

Honey, they're too big, you should have gone with a C cup.

The deeper mid-bass and output is clearly noticeable between an 8" and 10 speaker and that translates to better sound quality.

Also the location of the speakers limit the storage ability of the z5. With 9 in the boat storage of wake and surf boards outweighs sound quality when it takes about 15 minutes to find good water

Unless you have a conflict with size on the tower, then the relatively small added cost of a 10-inch upgrade is well worth it, as KG and MLA have suggested.
Wetsounds uses a narrower but deeper pod geometry to obtain the larger displacement. So with that shape in mind, it helps mitigate some of the bulk.
Purely from a sound quality and performance standpoint, a 10-inch upgrade is major.
A 10" is more efficient, so both the speaker and amplifier don't have to work as hard to produce the same output, and that means cleaner.
A 10", based on a combination of more surface area and greater pod displacement (the biggest factor), has deeper midbass extension. And, a 10" has a warmer, more musical balance.
So I'm looking at other benefits other than just the ability to play louder.
For many people, a 10" HLCD tower speaker means they will be permanently satisfied with one pair and a second pair will not be needed.

not sure if this is a screw up but Rev 8 and rev 10s same price at crutchfield and 100 bucks less than most other retailers.

Crutchfield has the correct price on the Rev8, same as the Wetsounds site.
But they likely screwed up because they have the Rev8 and Rev10 priced the same.

Another thumbs up for Odin at Earmark.
He's been very accommodating in answering all my newb questions and sent me great reference material and diagrams to assist in install. I plan on hitting him up here real soon for help in tuning to ensure i get it done right. It's great to have somebody to help given the fact that I'm in the boonies and have no dealer in my backyard to assist. I'm left to online retailers and resources so anytime somebody like Odin is there to help long distance it's invaluable.
And he and his shop will do that for any brand that they sell...........NOT just Wetsounds.

Also David ran the shop the same way when he was at the helm and I appreciated his open door policy with assistance hence why I returned as a customer yet again.

Weird I checked earmark, crutchfield and wetsounds sites and with the exception of the the rev 8 crutchfield was much cheaper even on the the swivel clamps 150 at CF. 200 at WS. Prices are all over the map , so I guess they really don't set pricing for dealers.

Not sure I fallow J,? Wet Sounds and Earmarks pages show the same rev-8 and rev-10 swivel prices, which agree with the latest prices I have. Seems CR is incorrect, as stated earlier.
