Thanks to the resourcefulness of one forum member, a group of Malibu owners over at TheMalibuCrew.com have come up with a custom billet aluminum remote mount that includes a specific slot for Wet Sound’s new WS420 EQ. Designed to replace the factory remote bracket, the custom designed mount holds the factory Sony XM-RM55 remote, along with the aforementioned EQ, and optionally an additional switch like those used on the dash.

While this modification is specific to Malibus it shows what some creative thinking can accomplish. And thanks to the efforts of forum member liljohn, Malibu owners can have easy access to their Wet Sounds WS420 for on the fly adjustments of the tower speakers, sub and cockpit speakers.

It’s called the WS420, and it allows boat owners to accurately and effortlessly control the level of the speakers in the boat, as well as on the tower. It performs more technical features as well, like parametric equalization, line-voltage boost, but most people will buy it for the easy volume control, and built-in microphone for talking to riders behind the boat.

Tim from Wet Sounds was kind enough to sit down at the Consumer Electronics Show to showcase some of the features of their award winning new product, and we’ve got the full video posted after the break.

Wet Sounds has made a name for themselves in the wakeboard tower speaker market with their unique, high-output horn-loaded tower speaker designs. Now, following up on the recent release of their new Pro 60 Wakeboard Tower Speakers, they’re turning their attention to inside the boat to give your entire audio system a makeover.

Their new line of XS components features a 6.5″ coaxial full-range model, as well as two subwoofer options, a 10″ and a 12″. Manufactured with the same innovative ideas and materials as their tower speakers, the XS series aims to appease the many consumers and dealers that wanted a high output speaker that could live up to the abuse the marine environment is capable of. This new line of speakers effectively allows wakeboarders to outfit their their boats with high quality audio for passengers inside, in addition to the best tower speakers for the rider at the end of the line.

When Wet Sounds burst on to the scene they quickly made a name for themselves as the premier supplier of high end audio solutions for wakeboard towers. Known for their high output horn based systems that use 8″ mid-bass drivers to cover lower frequencies, Wet Sounds have now focused their efforts on expanding their line of product with a more compact version of the popular Pro 80 wakeboard tower speakers.
