at the part where the back brace meets the cross tube, i would have to come out and back in though...
any one got some pics of round cans mounted to a monster tower? i found some pics through the seach on here but they were square boxes up there, or if someone has them could you post a couple close up pics of how you ran your wires?

it's outlined in the tower installation guide: http://www.monstertower.com/pdf/Installation%20and%20Owners%20Manual.pdf

If you add speakers or lights to your Monster Tower, you can hide the wires inside of the rear legs of the tower as well as in the straight cross member of the top section. Since the mating parts insert ˝” inside each end of the rear leg you can drill 1” away from the weld lines. For the top section cross member you
will need to place the hole 3” from the weld line to clear the rotating collar assembly. The hole size will depend on what size wire you are running and how many items you need to wire. The maximum hole size we recommend is ˝” but normally smaller is all that is needed.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES OF INTEREST
The various connectors, finishing grommets and items you will need for wiring lights and speakers can be found at Radio Shack, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Ace and other hardware stores. You can find much of this also at www.WayTekWire.com as well as many other online sources. There are some great technical documents at www.installdr.com that may be of assistance as well. If you are interested in making your own speakers or other items for your tower, check out www.diyTower.com to see where others have shared what they have made.

Dutch.... WOW, very well stated!

The only sort of drawback is you have two places that the wires are exposed.. on the top section to the top of the legs (front or rear) and then coming out again at the base of the legs.

I just ran external in split loom tubing and tie wrapped it. Isn't that bad. Plus, with an AMP connector, I can take everthing off the tower, but leave the 'guts' of the wiring still inside the boat.

Well, I don't wanna take credit for writing that. I just copied it out of the Monster towers installation instructions. (Ya, I read the instructions)

Not bad for a guy that doesn't even own a Monster Tower though, but I think they have a great product with good instructions and good customer service. I just recommended Monster to a guy in my church that has a Nautique cause he was thinking about spending over 2 grand on a flight tower. I told him he was crazy and to go check the Monsters out and get on this site and read all the good things about them. Hope he listens.
