I'm gonna give this one a shot and see what the opinions I receive are. This is my first post so bear with me. I'm sure I am beating a dead horse with this kind of question. My Story: My family just bought an 08' Avalanche C4 and of course everything was stock. It has the advanced package with the sideswipe exhaust and triple ballast tanks. The motor only had 51 hours and it was a good fit for what we were looking for. Most of my experience with wake boats originally was with an 08' Mastercaft X2 that I drive for my neighbors and there guests and I tend to compare a lot of things to that boat since it was the first wake boat I used. Apples and Oranges between the two but sometimes it slips up when I'm relating what I have used with what we bought/want. The objective: I plan on upgrading all the interior speakers and adding a subwoofer. At some point I will add new tower speakers but that will most like will take place later. I have done a ton of research on different brands and have looked at specifications for days as well as differences in each brand and make/model. I've narrowed my search down to Wetsounds and Exile Audio. I have heard that these guys are the Ford vs. Chevy as far as the marine speakers go, but that is only hearsay. The main attraction to Exile is that I am getting the same amount of quality as wet sounds offers (if not better) for a much better price. I'm trying to keep it around $2000 or less, and I feel like with the exile brand I should be able to stay in that price range. Other brands I have looked at are JL, Polk, Roswell, Rockford Fosgate, etc. I have always been pretty sold on wetsounds being the cream of the crop and I am trying to make the most informed decision so I don't end up making the wrong decision. In addition to the spekears, I know I'll have to get all the wiring packages and amps, and I intend to eventually install either a Wetsounds or Exile equalizer in the cockpit. My question: Is exile really all it is cracked up to be? I.E. Sound quality, customer service, reliability. How are the amps? If you have either of these brands what do you see as the pros and cons? Have any idea of a dealer for exile in North Carolina? If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! If I'm out of line for even posting these questions I apologize. I know these forum things can get pretty touchy if you continue to cover a topic multiple times in the same section. I appreciate the help!

With the Black Friday deal and now the wholesale deal Exile threw out over the past couple weeks, I was able to get my tower setup well under way with a set of XM9's and a Harpoon to start out with for a lot less than what I was expecting to have to shell out later in Spring. I'm pretty stoked and looking forward to a complete rewire and tune of my stereo. Probably going to build a new enclosure for my sub while I'm at it. Still need to get a ZLD to use for tower/cabin level control and line balancing.

I have liked my decision so much, i have decided to share my experience with all of you! After hours of research, I decided to go with a pair of Exile Audio's XM7, swivel mount tower speakers. It just seemed to make sense to go with speakers that you could EASILY remove from the tower and stow inside, preventing weathering and theft. This company had solid customer service as well. Somehow, our wakeboard rope managed to wrap around the speaker mount before pulling someone up. Once we propelled forward, the weight of the wakeboard rider yanked the speaker mount out of its socket, completely destroying one connection. I sent an email to exile audio and within one hour i got a response that they would replace the mount at no cost. One week later, the mount arrived. They even payed for shipping! Thanks Exile! http://exileaudio.co...er-speaker.html *Video above are incredibly similar to the ones from Exile. Just wanted to show the ease and the concept of swivel speakers
