Default Speaker rail mount

Hello all...I am looking for a way to mount box speakers to my center console rail.

Specifically the MA-3030's.

I want to mount them on the vertical sections of the grap rail, each side of the console...would like some type of clamp mount.

This way they can be aimed at me when cruising, or aimed out when swimming or at the dock.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Link to the speakers here.... http://www.polyplanar.com/productSin...x?prt=MA-3030W

You should be able to adapt some of these rail clamps to your speaker bracket.

Looks like the right idea, except too big for my rail. The rail is about 5/8 inch diameter.

I used 4 stainless U bolts, washers and lock nuts from Home Depot to mount a pair of 6x9 marine box speakers to the underside of my T-top and it works great without looking like Cletus Ray just came up with something. Course your mounting bracket has to be wide enough for two holes and still fit the rail. If you want to move them outward, loosen the large mounting screws at the end of the speaker just a tad.
