4 rev 10'

[stretch55]

Looking for pics of towers with 4 rev 10' on them. Debating to ad a pair of rev 10 HDs to the stock pair of swap out with 1 pair of rev 12 HD.

Saleman at our local dealer put 4 rev 12s on his supra last year for the Norris Moomba Supra meetup. I havent seen a Moomba with the 12sbut have seen a couple Malibus.

I either want to do 4 rev10 HD or 2 rev12 HD.

Don’t you wack your head on those all the time? How do you like the Wetsounds systems vs Exile? I am coming from a full Exile system to Wetsounds. Looks like you did as well.

Im 5'10" and cleared the 12s just fine. The 10s on my craz are also out of the way. Adding a second set would be nice but I dont think I need them. I would want something with more bass than rev 10s

The new Rev 10’ (HD’s) are supposed to have more bass. That’s what’s on the 2023 models. We don’t have our boat yet so I can’t verify. But that’s what Wetsounds says.

I'm a hair over 5' 11" and its pretty easy to avoid hitting your head. I won't say I have never hit my head but after you do it a couple of times you figure out how to make it not a regular occurrence.

As far as going from exile to wetsounds. I feel like my exile sub hit harder than my WS but I also bought a low end WS sub due to budget constraints. I am sure the XXX hits much harder but what I have is adequate. As far as XM9s vs REV10s there is no comparison. The Rev10s blow them out of the water, which is the main reason I made the change. Got tired of being drown out by WS systems. Overall I am much happier with the WS system and I have never had an overheating issue (my original exile amps would over heat and shut down all the time). The newer class D exile amps due seem to have fixed this problem however.

Due to the recessed mounting perch on the HD series, the 12HD has only slightly more hang height even though the driver is 2" larger in Dia., when comparing to a rev-10v2 with tube clamp to 12HD with 2 clamp.

No tower can produce bass. Mid-bass? Yes. The 10HD really isnt going to produce more mid-bass, as this is a product of the mid-bass driver size. Both are 10". The new HD pod is slightly larger in volume, v's the original rev, which will help with mid-bass extension. However, I think measurable difference would be inaudible in the wild. What does give the 10HD the appearance of producing more mid-bass, is the all new cross-over and compression driver. When you rain in and tone down the harsher frequencies, the drivers "seems" to produce more mid-bass. So all in all, the HD is a larger step in HLCD performance over the Rev v2 series.

Lets talk woofers, since they were mentioned. There is nothing magic that one brand can do to make their woofer hit, slam, pound, etc, harder then another. There are 4 real factors that effect output. driver size, enclosure, wattage supplied and the drivers excursion. The first 3, we as a consumer/installer can control. So, if two woofers are the same size, in the same enclosure type/size and supplied the same wattage, their output (choose your buzz word: hit slam pound) would be about the same. If you are comparing two woofers any one of the 3 previous factors is not the same between the two, its not the woofer's brands you are comparing, but rather the larger woofer to a smaller woofer, the one in a ported enclosure v's the one in the sealed or IB enclosure or the one thats fed more wattage.

XM9 to rev-10; Keep in mind, despite Brian's efforts to pass the xm9 off as a 9" driver, is was an 8". So comparing an 8" HLCD to a 10" HLCD is no comparison. Again, its not a brand thing. The rev-10 also had a slightly larger compression driver.

Class A/B amps can and will overheat on a boat, in July, when heavily loaded. Brian gave some bad advice by telling buyers to run the 6-pod hybrid setup at 1.5 ohm p/chnl on their 2 chnl amp, even though the amp was only intended for a minimum of a 2 ohm load p/chnl. Moving to the more efficient class-D amps is a move in the right direction to avoid thermal shutdown, but also knowing how to properly setup and tune any amp, is equally important.

Let me know if you ever come near South Georgia. LOL. Got a system for tou to tune up!
