Removing and replacing G5 Tower Speakers

[SandS]

I'm looking at the Uptice flag holder and side pull mounts for my G5 tower.  I have four icons on the tower, so I would have to remove the lower speaker to mount the flag holder then remount the speaker. How hard is it to remove and replace the speakers? I am NOT handy. Alternatively, is there a different flag pole mount out there that would work for the G5 with the Bimini out that wouldn't require removing the speaker?

I am looking for the same thing.  I have found this option but I don't know how sturdy it would be.

Definitely an easier install.  Did you see that they're not filling orders between today and July 24?  The boss has tasked me with getting a flag mount on before 4th of July.

There are two set screws for each speaker that attache to the tower mount.  You must remove those and remove the cap.  Then you can slide the speaker off the mount.  You have to disconnect the speaker wires inside the can to fully remove the speaker.  From there you can remove the actual speaker mount from the tower.  Is it hard no, is it a bit of a pain, yes.

Did you figure out how to mount the uptice mount?

You have to remove lower tower speakers.

I went with the Tower Flags option:  https://www.towerflags.com/product-page/malibu-gx-and-g5-bimini-frame-mount

Easy install but the boss isn't impressed with the size of the flag.  Size does matter.

I actually love the size.  I have a flag on each side.  My buddy has the Uptice and it’s a BIG flag!
