Does anyone know a trick for me to mount an ai prime 16 hd to the ecotech rms mount? The reason being because I have both radion and ai prime and I want to utilize both of them. Thanks!

I’m sorta in the same boat. I’ve found a site where you can download a file to 3D print one here but I’m missing the 3D printer part of that equation. Maybe you have one @TaiVo?
 
I have done this, I have two ai prime 16's and 1 xr15 over a 6 foot tank. I used (2) 3 inch L brackets. Lowes has a 4 pack for about 4 dollars. They have 4 holes. I cut off about an inch and a quarter of one side of the L bracket and used it as the compression side for the RMS mount. I used (1) #10-32x1/2 inch screws to mount the AI Prime to the shorter sde of the L bracket and 1 more with the nut behind the cut piece of l bracket. I slid the cut piece of L bracket with a nut on top of it into the channel (the cut piece does require a little grinding to thin it out) and just tightened it all down in the appropriate position. Looks perfect.
