wakeboard rack for pylon(that holds speakers and boards)

Found a few different pylon racks that hold 2-4 boards but haven't seen one that allows speaker attachment. I'm pretty sure I've seen this somewhere on other boats. Any one care to point me in the right direction where I can find a rack for my pylon that holds speakers and boards?

TIA

That's a lot of weight especially with a rider on the line... My old Skylon started bending after a few month without that stuff. Add another 50 pound to the top of it and it probably would've destroyed the stringers in my old ski supreme. Just my experience.

Good luck finding some. Hope all goes well.

What I did was make a light bar with a clamp then hung speakers of the light bar. I used quick disconnect plugs for the speaker and the light bar. I used it for two summer and never bent it. Mine also had board racks above the light bar

Cant you just get he proper size Clamp From DIY wake and hang the speakers cans from that? I have a tower now but I had a Homemade pylon that I am sure I could have bolted speakers to If I wanted and there is no way t would have bent.

Why not just mount the cans sideways to the pylon pole? That's what I'd planned to do with mine.
I have a Fly High board rack I'd sell.

I have the Fly High 2 piece extended pylon. We have been using the 4 board rack that goes on the pole. The rack weighs a ton and I have never had any issues with the pylon bending. You need to make sure it is installed correctly.

I also wanted to mount speakers on the pole but did not want to ruin the finish on the pylon. I purchased the delron swivel attachement for the pole and added a piece of aluminum tubing where the deron was. This allowed me to mount 2 speakers to the pole just below the canopy and have the ability to remove it when storing in the garage.
