Tower Sway Questions!!!
Ive got four 8" HLCD tower speakers (heavy as hell) so I think that is probably 75% of my problem but when I am trailering the tower looks like it is really shaking side to side more than Im comfortable with. Ive checked all tower bolts and everythings seems to be tightened properly. Is this just normal due to the weight of the speakers? when I bought the boat I trailerd it 8 hours home before I installed the speakers but I dont recall the tower shake. It was shaking so bad on my way home Sat. I had to stop to tighten one of the speakers that shook and really loosened up.

What boat do you have?
I have 2 of the 8" speakers, but regularly will have 2 wakeboards and 2 skis in the racks. I dont' trailer much, but I do notice a little bit of movement on my tower when driving in the lake. Nothing too extreme though.2013 Outback V

The LSV tower shakes, in fact all towers shake by design. If they didn't they'd break. Adding excess weight does make it worse and can be a problem depending on how much it is. Trailering with boards in the racks only adds to it besides being unsafe.

Yea, I definately wouldn't trailer with boards in the racks.

From the ramp to my storage facility is only about 3 min drive & I dont get above 25mph which isnt any faster than I drive with the boards in the racks on the lake so Im not concerned with that really, other than just the extra weight they provide.
