minimizing number of speakers on the tower

[slipperyrockTKE300]

Just curious....

anyone ever start off with 4 speakers on the tower, then reduce the number to two (one for each channel) and be happy with the sound quality??

Don't the boats come from the factory with just two?

have 2 xm9's on the tower, plenty for me

I know lots of people that have gone from 2 pair of 6.5" to one pair of 8" or 10" or from two pair of 8" to a single pair of 10". The trick is going larger.

Did exactly this. Plenty for me.

This begs to ask the question,

If you had Surf wave with 1100 Rears would you go to 400 rears and be happy?

For its, its always GO Bigger. I run 6 xm9s and can't imagine having only 4 now. I also can't imagine lowing my surf ballast to make a smaller wave and being happy.

Had 2 1 Ton Diesel long bed trucks, traded and got an F150, smaller truck, short bed wasn't cutting it, now I am back in a big truck..

I know Ed i was picking on you because I know your a Minimalist surfer. LOL all good bud
At least I know you used to preach 400 rears for surfing.

[slipperyrockTKE300]

I still preach 400 in the rear....or no ballast at all

Wait one second Mike. I thought you where only going to have 4 on your tower then the wife said "I think we need another set" At that point Brian pulled out another pair and said "Come on Mike you have to follow the wife's advice". Now you have 6.

Thats right I was going to keep it even. Now remember in my mind I was upgrading from XM7 and SXT7 to 4 XM9s. Then the wife upgraded it even more.

No way I would drop down to 4 now. We had to run 4 at Powell due to a crew member <who shall remain nameless> stripped out my clamps.
