Bracket for one pair of rev 10’s

[Lees23]

I am upgrading to rev 10’s and and trying to figure understand which mounting option is best for a single pair of rev 10’s on a G3.5 tower.  

 

Thanks all,

Steve

The Wet Sounds dual mount will mount a single pair tucked highest in the corner. More so than the single pair mount. I have the dual mount and one pair of Rev 10s myself.

I echo this. You can see pics of it in my sale listing in my signature.

Thanks, this is helpful.. $399 is pretty crazy for a bracket.  Can you not use the upper board rack position with rev 10’s with that bracket?

 

Has anyone ever use clamp mounts on the tower?  

 

Thanks again..

Dual works best in most's opinions, single works just fine. Board rack position is not really an option to bolt the direct mount pod to the tower upright.

What I mean is, can you no longer use the upper board rack position(as a board rack) if you have the rev 10’s with the dual or single bracket). 

 

In @G Spot picture he is using the lower board position with dual mount and single pair of rev 10’s.  I would think that the lower board rack position is creates more of a space issue when the board are “in”.

The upper board racks will work, you may have an issue getting the boards swung fully into the boat though BICBW. Most like myself bought the duals to get the Revs up and out of the way. On my ‘10 I had them in the upper position for that reason and thought they were goofy looking in the lower position. With the duals you have the option of using both and you will only be able to use the full rotation of the speakers in the lower position. In the upper position the speakers hit the rear tower hoop and will only allow about 25 degrees of rotation on the swivel mounts.

Thanks.  I don’t care to have them on swivel mounts, so that’s fine. 

 

Am I correct in assuming that the single mount basically puts the speakers in the lower position of the dual mount?

Yes, unless they have changed the layout since I did mine. Both mounts use the existing holes in the G3 and the duals have provisions for the Bimini base plates, so they just screw on like they do on the G3. Channels on the back side of the mounts to run the wires. The lower mount position on the plate has the base extended forward to be able to make full contact with the lower Rev speaker bases if used. If you do go with just the single pair of Revs, the bottom empty spot looks kind of odd w/o a speaker, but not annoyingly so.

For this those that had the factory shelf with forward and rear facing lights, where do you move the lights to if you get rid of the shelf and go to the dual mounts?
