REV 10's and G4

[SimonWS]

apparently four will fit with an adapter?

That's correct. You can get 2 pairs of REV10's on the g4 tower by using the Wet Sounds thick CNC spacers in place of the spacers in the X-Mount Kit for the outside pair of speakers and by using the Illusion DXT adapters for the inside set of REV10's.

Attached are some of the install of the REV-10s on the Malibu G4 tower.

Some answers:

1. There is plenty of room to pull a 4 OHM run inside the g4 tower. (PTM Factory is a 2 OHM 14 gauge run) I was able to pull independent 12 gauge run for each speaker. I also pulled a RG-58 (50 ohm) coax for a marine VHF antenna. You can see both in this picture.

2. You do not need the 1/2” spacers to allow clearance on the outboard REV-10s to clear the tower gusset. The standard X-Mount works just fine. The factor bolts are to long. Even with 5 washers and a lock washer they were bottoming out and not allowing the speaker pod to synch

up onto the tower. I would recommend a 1” bolt to be included. I used 1” with a washer, lock washer, and thread lock (red).

3. The bolts for the DXT adapters were two long (The Tower Mount Bolts). I went to counter sunk 3/4” length hex. I also powder coated the bolts black to match the tower and adapter plate.

So a quick trip to the hardware store and the speaker mounting went very easy. The wiring took a bit more work if you want to change that out. You need special shrink tubing with adhesive and a low profile zip tie to attach to the retraction bungie. Also, I would recommend new wiring loom, but you may be able to salvage to original if you cut the shrink tubing carefully. I could have reused mine, but elected to run it all the way to the amps. The factory loom stops just after entering the boat from the tower mount.

And a few more.

Additional. Actually the second picture was with the 1/2" spacer. I removed this and went with the standard X-Mount. I wanted as much head room clearance as possible. Plus I think it looks better tight against the G4 tower.

A few more. As you can see in this picture the outboard 1/2" spacer was removed. IMO it looks better flush and a very little bit extra headroom.

Also, I couldn't stand the anchor (NAV) light on the pole. It was hideous, so I made an adapter plate and installed a permeant new light.

Boat break in...... BORING. Ten hours of no towing, no blast. Well, we finished this weekend. Had fun chasing the boat with the DJI.
