Universal loudspeaker mounting adapter

A loudspeaker with a mounting assembly is ideally suited for attachment to a wakeboard tower. The mounting assembly includes a clamp assembly for attaching to the tower and a swivel assembly attached to the speaker enclosure. The base of the clamp assembly defines a docking channel that extends generally, and an electrical terminal is positioned at the blind end of the docking channel. The swivel assembly includes a bracket for attaching to the speaker housing and a terminal block that is rotatably mounted on top of the bracket. In this way, once the clamp assembly is attached to the tower bar, the terminal block can be guided into the docking channel by holding the speaker housing. The need to manage wires while mounting the speaker is eliminated by the pin and socket electrical terminals, and the swivel-mounted terminal block aligns itself as it is inserted into the docking channel.

Loudspeaker with mounting assembly

A speaker with a replaceable cone assembly. The motor assembly has its own basket, which is mounted in the enclosure. The cone assembly also has its own basket, which fits inside the motor basket. In the event of damage or malfunction in the cone or coil, the entire cone assembly is easily removed and replaced, while the motor assembly and the main basket remain undisturbed in the enclosure. Preferably, the speaker includes a pole with additional vents to improve heat dissipation. The pole has a pole cap with vent openings aligned with the secondary vent passages in the pole. The pole cap has a plug to occlude the front end opening of the central or primary vent passage in the pole. The top of the cap is domed to provide a guide surface for the former as the replacement cone assembly is inserted in the motor assembly.
