Exile vs. Wetsounds

[ian ashton]

Full disclosure; I have Exile equipment in my boat, and absolutely love it. I've never purchased or owned any WetSounds equipment



We just went through this discussion before ordering the equipment for Chase's LSV.


The way I see it, as said before; Do you honestly think that you'll be able to tell a difference at 75' and 20 MPH between the #1 and #2 speaker? I don't. And that's not to say that Exile is #2, and WetSounds is #1, that was just an example.

What sold (and continues to sell) me on Exile is the value for your dollar.

I put this chart together when we were making decisions on which speaker was best for our application, and it fits pretty well here;


So, both speakers are excellent, we've already determined that. WetSounds is absolutely a more recognizable name, and you are paying for that. The Exile warranty is better, and I like being unique. There are 9 boats at my marina with WS tower speakers, and only 1 (so far ) with Exile.
