Duane is the man first off. He drove all the way down to Atwater to install my Tyrants on the new Tomcat. But, while he was down there, he decided to throw the new Deviants on the cat to see how they looked. Needless to say, I am doing everything in my power to sell my Tyrants to get these Deviants. If you want a great deal on some Tyrants, please PM me! Check out that hang height! These new Deviants should go on sale in April so hit up Duane at www.nvs1.net or contact me through Onlyinboards.com and we'll get you set up with a pair! Also, if you want full sized pics, PM or email me at ian at onlyinboards dot com.

Wow thoes look GREAT IMO 100 time's better than the orignal NVS. No more 18 wheeler hub caps for speaker can's. Nice job Duane. Question: were you able to drop any weight with the new fiberglass enclosure? what did the orignal can's in that set up weigh?

Man those look awesome! The hang height thing is spectacular. The fact that the enclosure is molded almost around the bar is an ingenious idea. I would expect that to get copied in the future. I have to say though I am not a big fan of the grills covers. Since I first saw them they looked a little cheesy to me.

I think you can get the polk looking ones still for 12 bucks each if you want. But I agree, they look sweet. It was very cruel of Duane to put these on my boat and send me pics. Now I must have them!

Are they only available in the 2-tone color scheme? I really like the look. How do they sound compared to the Tyrants?

Tom, the ones in pic 1 and 2 are all white. Two tone is available but standard will be black. Custom colors will be available in one or two tone with the carbon fiber two tone another option as well. From what Duane told me, they are very similar to the current Tyrants.

Ian, thanks for the opportunity to check out your new boat. It is awsome...the wake was incredible too. Sorry for burning up most of what would of been free gas...j/k. Grant, thanks for your approval. I had you in mind when putting together the 1/2 Carbon option. As far as the other q's: Std weight: 22 lbs. (yes that's about 2 lbs less then the Tyrant) Std color: Black Optional colors: yes Optional Two tone, i.e. top vs bottom: yes Optional Carbon bottoms: yes Optional Grills: yes Optional Grill color: yes Optional Quick release: (adds .7" to std hang height of 8.7") yes. Optional drivers: yes. A Signature Reference Model will be available using some high end European drivers. Sound quality: The current version of Tyrants have evolved to a very good sound that is actually the warmest of the NVS offering. The Deviants were designed to take better advantage of the driver characteristics that we will be using by better matching the enclosure volume. This maintains if not improves further the warmth but also extends the frequency range.

Because of the way the enclosure is recessed up around the tower, even the 10" systems hang down something short of 8 inches (I think) Lighter and more clearance. I still like the 18 wheeler hub caps. Maybe it's just my WT roots!

Isn't Duane the pioneer of HLCD tower speakers? How can you accuse him of copying anyone?

Nick: Nice try! Nick why don't you start a thread called "Who is the Pioneer of the HCLD tower speaker" & Watch the sparks fly. "MY JOKE" was directed at how the Fiberglass enclouser looks like a Wetsounds Pro 485 nothing more. Truth be told they all look the same starting back with the HCLD N-Vert. Then remember the Fishnoize fiberglass speakers and then the Wetsounds, They all look some what the same the design dictates it. Duanes new speakers look great. Back to the subject at hand

I had no intentions of causing any conflict. I guess I could have worded my post a little softer. Nevertheless, the Deviants look, and probably sound, great.

The Deviants look really nice. I like all of the NVS product and would really love to hear them. I would probably choose the Polk grills though.

With regards to the enclosure design those are very impressive, not only are they good looking but the functionality of them creating more head room is brilliant as well. If they sound good which I assume they do based on NVS' reputation then I think they'll be a winner. Now find a way to make them a little cheaper!

Spinners would be cool. I am a redneck at heart and still like chrome.

It's cool to see NVS offered in a fiberglass enclosure for those who like the look. I've always preferred cans over the fiberglass enclosures so I'll be sticking with my "Trucker Hub Caps".

Thanks Ian...I don't really care for nascar, but if it isn't fast then chrome it...that is what I was always told. I guess today they would say if it isn't fast then carbon fiber it.

Festivus, You can of course mount them on the round crossing tube now, either as shown or upside down (upside down is what I'd do after a small mod to the bimini). We are looking at the side mount and should have that finalized next week. Duane

Joe, I think three deviants custom flamed would look great on your tower. Saw them in person when I ran into Todd at the boat show. They are a nice addition to the NVS line, contratulations. Mike

hey mikeski. i think joe rather just buy a new boat and do a new system rather then go to the trouble of un bolting the old nvs to replace new ones.
