[3mk]

i have been looking at tower speakers for sometime now .i am thinking kicker sure are loud in side a store or at a boat show but how about 60 feet behind a moveing boat?? does anyone realy know .speakers are not cheap and i do not want to make that misstake.

Earmark Marine is having a sale on tower speaker until the end of March. I would jump on some wetsounds or the 770's.

Any of those set ups I doubt you would be disappointed in. Plus you can't beat free shipping.

Which Kicker speakers are you referring to? They offer 2 different tower speaker setup, as well as many retailers load up their own cans with Kicker in-boat or car speaker. Let me know which Kicker, and I will tell you what to expect.

The Wet Sounds is a manufacturer sponsored sale for ALL wet Sounds dealer, such as myself!

I will also price match Earmark.

I have a pair of the KMT 6 and they boradcast quite well at 60'. Never listened to them any farther than that but I would say they are very focused so it seems if i am cutting outside of the wake it dies off dramatically. I also have the marine kicker SKM 10 inch sub in there and 4 KM 6 coaxials. All sounds great but IMO the tower speakers are not as pimp looking as Wetsounds products.

tower speakers

I purchased a set of Pro 80's after a lot of research and couldnt be happier, sound is clear and loud way behind the boat. Chp can help you with the pricing and with wetsounds pro 80's you will never second guess your decision. well worth the money

I have the Wetsounds Three-some and you can hear those out at 500' plus. They are extremely clear at riding distance

The KTM6's are a great setup when powered right, by a good 2 chnl amp that does 150W x 2 @ 4 ohm. Can they be heard riding, yes, are they going to compare to a 7-8 in. HLCD speaker....no, but they do not cost as much. It will come down to how much you want, and how much you want to spend. There are a lot of great choices out there, and check out the new Kicker KM6500.2's.

I sell Bazooka as well, but cant say much about them.

Tough call but I would definitely agree with chpthril here. This is his area of expertise. Phil marine sales (from kicker) frequents this board also.

does the numbers on the model[6500]mean the speacker size 6.5 inch?

usually, kinda like a 22Ve is a 22ft boat. In the case of the Kicker KM6500.2, it is the Kicker Marine, and they are a 6.5 in driver (speaker) and a horn set.

Sorry Chp, wasn't trying to step on toes. I did not know that.

Its friendly competition. I respect Mike's longterm contribution to this forum and also the quality of his advice.

In either case (whether Mike's Liquid Audio or EARMARK MARINE) you're dealing with someone who is a legit authorized dealer and who has knowledge based on real experience.

The important issue is to work with people who offer good direction, installation guidance, valid warranties and in a word, support. I'm happy to see that biz go to Mike rather than on-line sources that do no more than move boxes.
