XM9's on oz tower
I upgraded to all exile this past week. In mounting the speakers on my tower it seems that I should have a rubber bushing or something to protect the tower paint from the mounts (also to help them stay tight and not twist). Anyone encountered this and came up with good solution? I was thinking about things like bicycle tire tubes cut to fit between tower and speaker mount?
On a side note, these speakers seem really heavy on the tower. We had a short rough water run yesterday and the tower had more creaking and popping than in the past. Maybe normal and sure worth the sound trade off!
I went all exile because of good quality stuff. However, the main reason though is the assistance I received from Brian and the entire crew. The way they do business fits me perfect as a do it yourselfer. My stuff shipped fast and Brian has been a text away the entire time. The javelin amp, eq, and 12inch sub is going in later this week. Great to see a company still doing business this way! Way to go exile!2017 Supra SA

The OZ tower paint chips with the (or any) clamps.
The tower definitely gets some wobble with the added weight, but I wouldn't be concerned.
I bolted the bottom pair directly to the tower. The top pair I made my own smaller clamps and painted black so they don't stand out as much.2013 Outback V

As long as the clamps are tight don't worry about it.
If they won't tighten let me know.
Yes they dig into the paint a little, I used blue tape and trimmed it off after it was tight.
Still have some dig marks. Just touch it up with paint if it concerns you.
If you have the smaller diameter tube tower it will cause a little wobble. Even on my larger then normal tower diameter it shakes a bit. Never concerns me.
I do remove the speakers on long trips but anything under 300 miles I leave them on.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

Oh I always pull mine off when I trailer, but mostly because I don't want to have to clean bugs off 'em, lol!

I had to really crank the clamp down after about 20 minutes on the water. I will make a few more trips and make sure they are not loosening up. Ian, that green and black looks sweet. Not you have me wanting to go yellow with black grills. I need to stay on the water and off these boards!

They switched styles and they were back ordered, normally they are in the boxes, they changed the material and the zipper, so to keep orders going they shipped speakers with no covers.
I will look into it and see if there is an expected arrival.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.
