I bought some XM9 tower speakers off a member late last year. How should I mount them? If they hang from the top of the tower, I'm pretty sure they will block the Bimini. Sitting above the tower seems a little high, sticking out from the sides might be obtrusive for the wakeboard racks, and sticking out on the corners might be goofy looking. What do you all think? Where did everybody else mount theirs?
 
Well sadly i dont have a wakeboard tower but I'm still completely stupid when it comes to audio and how possibly loud I can make my sx240 so I ordered a set of JL Audio 7.7 pods in the flush mount. Yku have a tower so you might just have yo hold them up and see where you like them. Screenshot_20170416-172541.png
 
Here is where I had mine on my '05. they were only 6.5" speakers but the bimini fit fine, just had to take the front 2 poles loose to get the frame under the pods.

It really comes down to your personal preference. Have someone hold them while you stand back and look... Move them around. See what works for when the bimini is up - I have about an inch of clearance with mine. Of course, I rarely ever use the bimini...
