Any advice on mounting? Number you used?
What type of "better solution" do you need for mounting?

Ted's video recommends 4
"Hiwave. model number HIAX32C20-8 "

But the HiWave model no longer is avail - the Tectonic Elements one you have (TEAX32C30-4) are the basically the same model number and I'm guessing Tectonics took over the Hiwave products or name change?
I have the stereo - I'll have to check speaker ohm recommendations.

I'm thinking I'll mount a set in the cockpit and a set underneath in the cabin - set them up as front and rear speakers on the stereo so I can flip back and forth or run both.

Howdy all,

I installed the sound exciters on my 30 MK1 after watching Ted's video.  In
a word, fantastic.  They sound great and they are totally protected under
the cockpit.  No drilling or cutting needed and cheap to boot.  They attach
with double stick tape rings - I plan on working up a better solution for
that.    I installed a WM7000 Bluetooth stereo from Westmarine - remote
control and lots of other good features.  

Here is a link to the exciters that I purchased -

1.  4 ohms to match the wm stereo.

My kids come sailing with me more often now that they can stream their
iphones - and I have to listen to electronic dance music - fair enough
trade-off I guess.

Cheers,

Yes, the person who posted that video of the sound exciter installation on a
C&C 29 is a lister. Me. I have to say that I was very skeptical when I
originally started that project but figured that it was worth a shot.
Cutting 6" diameter holes in my cockpit had prevented me from adding
speakers for many years. That YouTube video was taken with an iPad so the
sound quality isn't a true representation of the great sound that these
little sound exciters can produce. A typical speaker would also make nearby
objects vibrate if they were loose and in close proximity. It's not an
issue. This is a great solution to adding sound in the cockpit without
having to cut holes. They stay dry and can't be accidentally damaged by a
foot going through them. I've seen that happen all to often on other boats.
