Overview

The JL Audio 010-13876-00 is a swivel pipe-mount bracket set for VeX enclosed speaker pods that clamps to 2.875 inch tubing on towers and roll cages. It is sold as a pair, and one set is intended to mount two VeX pods.

On boats with a wake tower, T-top, sport arch, or rail built from 2.875 inch outside diameter tube, this mount gives you a stable attachment point and a way to aim the pods before locking everything down.

Key features

• Pipe diameter fitment: 2.875 inch tubing
• Swivel pipe-mount fixture for VeX enclosed speaker systems
• Sold as a pair; one set is intended to mount two VeX pods
• Low-profile, machined mounting fixtures for a tight, clean mount on the tube
• Black finish that blends with most towers and hard tops

Compatibility and fit

Fit comes down to the tube size and the speaker pod format. Confirm your mounting tube is 2.875 inch outside diameter before ordering, especially if your tower is close to 2.75 inch or 3 inch sizing. This mount is meant for VeX pods and the matching enclosed system hardware, so it is not a universal clamp for every tower speaker.

Installation and setup

Mock up the pod location with the boat on the trailer and check clearances for bimini frames, board racks, folding towers, and rod holders. Tighten clamp hardware evenly from side to side so the halves draw together square on the tube, then re-check fasteners after the first day on the water.

Plan your speaker wiring run along the tower so it is supported and protected from chafe, and leave a drip loop where the cable enters the pod area. If the boat sees saltwater or frequent washdowns, a fresh-water rinse and a quick fastener check during routine cleaning helps keep the install looking and working the way it should.

Use on board

This bracket set is a solid match for wake and surf boats, pontoons, and center consoles running VeX pods on a tower or T-top and needing a 2.875 inch clamp point for a tidy install. It also makes sense as a replacement when an existing mount has been moved, scratched up, or needs a fresh hardware reset after a re-fit.
