IS there a way to mount the radion 54 higher using RMS mounts, has somebody done it here. I was thinking using a large spacer between the rms out and the extension to raise it up with a long screw. You think will work?
 
I have the Radion G4s and the RMS.

If I follow your suggestion, it sounds like you want to inset a spacer between the vertical arm and the horizontal rail? I think that would work ... there is just a single bolt on each side, so you'd have to replace that bolt with something longer and then put your spacer in between. Sounds viable.

Having said that, are you really sure you want to raise them?

BRS did a really interesting video investigation of the optimal mounting height for the Radion and they came to the conclusion than the 9" recommended height was actually ideal.
 
Here's a video from BRS on how to make your own alternative to the RMS for the Radions

 
And here's that video where the evaluated the ideal mounting height for your Radions

 
yes seen the video. I just dont get a good coverage. I want to raise like max 2 inches which would make a difference to hit all the edges of my frag tank. I think currently its around 8 inch above water maybe little less. I am going to double check later
 
my frag tank is 24x24, in this video:

says 11 inch. That would be ideal
