Well she is pretty much complete now. Tower speakers are on. They are loud. I have them set to about 1/4 of the inboats volume.

In the tower. Through the boat. The tower was pre-wired most of the way. I redid some of it though. Which wires are you asking for a friend.

I see the holes in the tower to run the wires. I didn't see how the wires would get inside the boat to where your amp is. I looked behind the port bow seat where the tower is mounted and didn't see where the wires would come in. (Does that make sense?) Also, what did you do to be able to fold the tower...you know, just in case, for clearance issues

I fold the tower all the time. Sometimes I dont. Ouch too soon.
Does this help. I can get better pictures tomorrow if you need.

Got it, no that's good. I was wondering if the wires ran inside the tower into the boat or you had to drill a hole to run the wires. Thanks.

Again, great job!!!

Well Mrs BBP loced the new tunes. Leave it to my brother though. He goes when did you get those speakers up there 😅😅😅. Mrs goes from the many brown trucks this off season 😂
Ok really Mrs. BBP and Max ate not a fan of loud tunes. Oh well. I showed them the new volume controls just for them.
I will say it sounded good even at a low volume.

Has any one cut out speaker holes in rear of R5 near swim platform? Just got my 2019 today. Looks like a lot of stuff going on where factory installs them. Does anything need to be moved around inside?

You're a brave man! I'm sure there is no problem cutting holes for the speakers. The premium sound system includes them inthat location. Probably easier to cut while the boat is being built, but certainly do able afterwards. While you are at it, you might consider adding a sub woofer behind the helm seat.
