I've been running the kicker hlcd 6500.2 and have been happy with it, but when being pulled at 20+ I really want to hear the music over the wind/engine noise. After debating for several months and reading a ton of reviews, I decided to start with a pair of Wetsounds REV10's.

These things are massive... :) The grill is chrome. It's covered with a blue sticker for shipping in pics.

Here's a pic of my kicker setup in diywake.com cans. I had them rhino lined.

Here's a comparison of the size difference. People better watch their head getting up/down from sundeck. I figure this might stop people from stepping down on the piping (seam) on seat below when entering the boat/cabin.

I ran the tower with a variety of music with the left pair of kickers and one REV10. No contest. The kickers are loud, but it's more of a high pitch due to the compression horn. Hurts the ears up close. The REV10 was crystal clear through the highs/lows and I was shocked at the amount of low/mid frequency they put out. Sounded so good, I could live with turning off the cabin speakers. Plan on the new REV410 coming out or adding a second pair. 8-)

Ohhhhh man I wish those were on my boat and you had a feather! I'd love to have some of those but the wife would probably shoot me if I did, those things are higher than giraffe poontang! Maybe when the factory ones poop out she'll let me drop the dough for some, until then I'll just keep it on the birthday list.....lol

I can't wait to ride while listening to them. They sound incredible! If I was married, I'd probably be sleeping in it for the next few days.....lol.

Nice looking...They make the Pro80's look weak. When is the 410 coming?

I've heard less than a month, but who knows. I'd like to get it completed before prime riding time.

So how do the towers sound? Have you been out with it yet? Do they sound good at riding distance and speed?

I have a pair of rev 10s on my tower too. They sound amazing! You can hear the music pretty clear at 75 ft, but a rev 410 in the middle would be awesome!

They make the tower pretty heavy if you have to fold it down to get into the garage! It's still freezing at night here...
