Distance under the tower to the stock bimini top

[Elevated1]

I have a 2008 outback. Boat is in storage, and was looking for a measurement from bottom of tower(radi cage)to top of open bimini(factory). I want to put a single pair of tower speakers on my tower and want the largest I can get under the tower. I am shooting for xm9's or rev 10s.

Thanks for the help

Elevated - On the Exile's yes you can indeed fit them. I'm not sure about the ws as it is a considerably bigger enclosure. The most important issue you have is the weight associated with speakers on your 1 5/8 diameter tower. It is not as stout as the LSV tower.

The XM9 is on the higher side of my comfort level. I definitely would not hang 2 pair on there. All the XM products include the neoprene covers , quick disconnects and 2 year warranty. If you do go the XM9 route, hit me up and we can con net you to a local dealer for installation or go over amplifier configurations and tuning tips for the DIY install.

The rev10 are going to hang low, likely lower than the bimini. They hang just lower than my z5.

You might be able to find hang height measurements online?

Also, Brian brings up a good concern on weight.

Remember when comparing size, the xm9 and rev8 are the comparables, both 8".

The Z5 typically sits a lot higher than a stock factory bimini. I know that when I had my factory unit I could have easily hung XM9's no problem. But I will say this too, many owners and dealers have modified theirs to sit higher, the OP needs to measure HIS clearance and not rely on someone else's.

I too would be wary of hanging XM9's on an 1 5/8" tower. If It was mine i would be more apt to go with XM7's or SXT65's in that circumstance.

And the REV-8 it is an enclosure that is comparable to the Wet Sounds Pro60 pod. The Rev-10 enclosure has a hang height that is just a little more then the Pro-80.

I wanted to get both projection, and sound quality. Thought bigger would be better for both. I sent you a message Brian, and I am open to other suggestions.

Thanks

Elevated,

Shoot me an email to [email protected] and let me know where your located at. I'll be happy to find someone close to you. So you can hear and see for yourself.

The Wet Sounds REV 8 would be smaller than Other 8 inch HLCD speakers so that might be something
that would work well for you.
