This one isn't terrible. KTM6s (the dual speaker cans) are decent, older, entry level tower speakers. Looks like the other cans are just regular kicker 6.5s, probably firing down so the driver can get some music as the KTM6s sort of throw the sound out behind the boat. Not how I would have ran things.

The tower mount seems oddly placed. Those towers are designed so that the lower bars follow the windshield more. Why they went outside the hull instead of on top is a mystery to me.

They went outside because on the Legends, there is no real support higher up and these older boats were not designed for the tower.  My 92 Legend top deck is very thin where a tower would normally go.  On that edge, is the thickest glass.

10-4, makes good sense then.

I wonder how the glass is on top of the '86s, lol. I Plan on sticking my front legs on the outside of the hull, and my back legs on top. The boat narrows pretty quick and I want a forward tower mount.  (I have a much simpler tower design coming). It all looks pretty thick on the 86.  I guess at worst I'll have to spam in some plywood and kitty hair on the back leg mounts.
