Any 1” rail mount speakers for stern rail?

[patrickkidd]

I am looking for a pair of hood sounding (4-6”) speakers that I can mount on my stern rail. I am surprised there aren’t more of these out there. Or even any really good marine box speakers that I can jimmy a mount for.
Do you know of any?

Might look at these rail mounts or something similar to mount your speakers JL AUDIO M-MCPv3-1.315 Speaker Mounting Fixture | West Marine

You might want to look at motorcycle speakers that mount on the handle bars

Look at wakeboard boat speakers, round

Anything you want to mount on a railing is going to be huge or sound like crap due to its volume being too small. Do they still make 4x9s?

I never understood why there isn’t a market for that sort of thing. It is so much more ideal than cutting holes in your cockpit. And my J30 doesn’t have room for holes anyway!

To be honest I haven’t had a need to speakers in the cockpit. I had one and disconnected it.

Most of the rail mount speakers are pretty pricey for what they are. Below is a link to a cheaper one. As @MikeHoncho stated, the volume inside the enclosure is pretty small so don't expect a lot of low end out of these. One troller at my marina has custom mounts for a pair of QSC K12's. Somewhere in Chicago there's a boat that's rumored to have some VOID Audio speakers in it VOID Audio

You’re asking the wrong crowd, every kid in Miami has a floating sound machine that you can hear two miles away, especially when they are anchored in Key Biscayne. My friends use the Bluetooth speakers you get from Best Buy that are cheap and waterproof. Bose makes a nicer variety. I hope that’s what you are looking for, we used zip-ties for ours.
