2015's and Roswell Speakers

[harlobra 24]

Looks like Centurion is now putting Roswell systems in the new models. Anyone know how they compare to Wetsounds?

[Wylie_Tunes 146]

Rockwell or Rockford Fosgate? Not familiar with a Rockwell and a quick search turned up nothing.

[volzalum 280]

The pictures on the new boats all say Roswell. I couldn't find anything on the speakers or towers when searching online.

[Wylie_Tunes 146]

oh, Roswell, hmm.

[truekaotik 458]

They went with a tower speaker set up from ROSWELL to go with the NEW Roswell Maximus Tower. They are not Wet Sounds quality projection speakers. Once we get a peak at one in person, then we can compare properly...

Then it'll be time to determine what options to get from the factory vs. delete to allow best integrated Wetsounds system to be put in afterwards.

Doesn't Nautique use Roswell towers and speakers?

[volzalum 280]

Looks like this is their audio page http://www.roswellwakeair.com/series_rma/

 

The specifications leave a lot to be desired...

I read on P/N that they have parted ways

[DrNate 426]

Are the tower speakers the 7.0's that they have on their website? They're 200 watt RMS and 500 peak. The new 8.0's appear to be 200/400. 6.5" driver and 8" driver respectively.

Not sure I will ever understand this move by Centurion. Why did they not think to maybe approach Wetsounds and see if they could make them a tower and keep the WS on the Centurion Line. And have an exclusive tower. Doesn't make much since to me. The only thing I like about the new tower is the bimini cover with board sleeves. The speakers are horrendous looking and tower just reminds me of a Nautique.

Have to agree with you Ra...

My Buddy who got a 2014 G23 deleted the factory speakers and added REV 10's. Not sure why Centurion would drop WetSounds?????

[D3 Boats 19]

The reason why WetSounds was dropped, is because Roswell could provide a complete package to Centurion. The tower, racks, hanging speakers, in boats, even the underwater LED are all provided by Roswell. A vast number of parts by a single source. That is what it boils down to, the good, the bad, or the indifferent.

There is bad information in this thread.

There is no Roswell Maximus Tower. The Downfire System is not a Roswell designed package. The Maximus Tower in the next evolution in Centurion designed and owned towers from the Gladiator to Aegis to Maximus. The tower speaker system itself, also designed and owned by Centurion, are called the Centurion Downfire System. The cabin-firing speakers which are manufactured by Roswell match the in-boat cabin speakers. The 12" exposed subwoofer is a Focal, and the entire system is driven by three Roswell amplifiers, two 600.4 and one 500.2 on a custom Downfire amp rack. The installation is beautiful, and the sound is incredible.

Standard on the Downfire System is integrated LED rings around the entire Downfire housing. With all interior LED packages, the in-boat speakers have LED rings, and the subwoofer is included, behind a stainless Centurion helmet grill designed for the 12" subwoofer.

The design by Centurion was to offer a full, accurate sounding system and zone control to disable the standard tower speakers. For most customers, it's too loud out of the box, even over Bluetooth. Most importantly every song is full and accurate, never ear piercing and always balanced.

The tower also has an integrated Dome Light that has been designed for maximum lighting without distraction or interference. There is a rear facing swimming LED bar as well; the speakers LED rings are cosmetic in nature for displaying and admiring your boat at night. There is a weightless lift & lower system for easily collapsing the tower for your garage, boathouse and slip.

Wet Sounds was not "dropped" by Fineline Industries and is now standard on all Supreme boat models. Wet Sounds High Performance Marine Audio is incredible and a great fit for Supreme boats that everyone is excited about! The motivator for the Roswell relationship was simple, Roswell is the best wake tower & rack manufacturer out today regarding value, performance, warranty and support. The Centurion Downfire Speaker Systems were 3D printed at Centurion in-house without a speaker company and presented for bids before they were ever displayed at 2013 Surf Expo with a Roswell prototype.

For more information you can go to centurionboats.com, or see your local dealer.

If Focal is providing drivers for those things the speakers probably will not suck. I've worked with their monitors in studios and they are very very good.
