What Tower Speakers for my New 210?

[tidalwake0504]

So I'm looking at the stock Nautiqe Polk Deafcom (IV's i believe?), NVS, Titans, Wetsounds, and Fusions. In your honest opinion, which speakers will be best for loudness, bass sound, and durability in salt water. I take very good care of my boat and will clean dry and cover after every use. That being said, let me hear what you think.

none of them will be good for bass, thats not what you get tower speakers for. In fact, many people will tell you to shut off the bass on the amp that goes to the tower speakers. for bass, look at subs....

otherwise: a couple things.... you aren't really comparing apples to apples for all of them. the NVS and wetsounds, i think, are horn speakers with a compressor in them--that makes them stand out from the rest as far as loudness and price goes. The fusions (the only ones i've actually had any hands on experience with) are great, for the money and considering the fact that they are NOT horns. When set up with the propper amp, the fusions can get very loud and stay very clear. I've heard them riding 60' back at 22 mph.

I've also heard the stock speakers for a couple seconds at a demo once, and they were nothing special. If $$ isn't that much of a big deal to you, dont get the stock stuff, you could do much better.

I hear good things about Wetsounds, more good things about NVS, and have heard good things about Fusion. You could get fusions for about 800 and NVS will be more in the 1200+ range, new that is. can't speak on anything else really...

I'm no pro so dont quote me on any of this, just a bunch of stuff piled up that i've heard over the time... hope it helps...

I'll speak from experience with the NVS's. You're not only buying the product, you're also buying the customer service from Duane. He helped me out more than I had ever expected, ask around, he's a stand up guy and treats all of his customers better than any person I have ever done business with.

To boot, the NVS speakers are amazing sounding at 80' :grin:

The WetSounds Pro 485s in white work very well on the CC towers. They are super efficient and easy to remove. I prefer the white finish, they look great on the tower.

SPEAKERS

Have just bought a set of Tsunami KR4xc speakers and lights etc. How do these speakers system rate?

RE: SPEAKERS

Never heard of them but they have a website showing they use Audiobahn car door speakers so they should be close to the stock Nautique tower speakers. For car speakers in a can I usually recommend Monsters or Audiobahns, but the Tsunami's don't look bad. Keep in mind the car speaker on a tower is more biased for boat listening than wakeboarder listening.

RE: speaker for 210

Hi Iceman,

Rode at Folsom today, more often at the Delta and McClure or Melones. I tend to avoid Lake Berryessa unless I just want to party, maybe I have had bad luck but it's usually blown out or power turner'd out.

if you want the absolute "best" tower speaker that money can buy then call NVS and order a pair of 1010's with B&C drivers and selinum hlcd's and nothing will even come close..
