JL Audio M-MCPV3-MC MasterCraft Tower Speaker Mount, Set of 2

If you've got a set of JL Audio ETX tower speakers and a MasterCraft, this is the bracket set that marries the two. The M-MCPV3-MC is a fixture built to attach ETXv2 and ETXv3 enclosures to the OEM tower position on MasterCraft boats from 2006 and up. You get two brackets in the box, one for each side of the tower, plus the stainless steel hardware to bolt everything down.

Here's why the right bracket matters. Tower speakers take a beating out there. Wind load at speed, the shock of landing off a wake, constant vibration, and a full season of sun. A generic clamp can work loose or twist your pods off-axis, and then you're chasing rattles and re-aiming speakers every time you launch. This fixture is cut to sit in the factory tower position, so your ETX enclosures end up right where the boat's designers meant the sound to go.

MasterCraft owners tend to be particular about their boats, and the audio is a big part of the day. Whether you're cranking music for a wakesurf set behind the boat or just parked in a cove with friends, tower pods put the sound up high and aimed out where people actually are. Mount them solid and they'll deliver the clean, punchy output the ETX line is known for. Mount them on something flimsy and you lose it to vibration and drift.

The brackets are machined from aluminum and finished in a clear anodized coat. That anodizing isn't just for looks. It puts a hard, corrosion-resistant skin on the metal so the brackets shrug off spray, UV, and the odd knock without pitting or chalking. The hardware in the set is stainless steel, so the fasteners won't rust and streak your gelcoat. On a boat that lives on the water all summer, those little details are what keep the install looking sharp three seasons in.

Fit and finish should match the rest of a MasterCraft too. The clear anodized aluminum keeps a bright, factory look next to your existing tower hardware instead of standing out as an obvious add-on. Small thing, but it's the kind of detail that separates a tidy install from a hacked-together one.

This is a set of 2, sold as a matched pair, and it's meant for the ETX line specifically. If you're running ETXv2 or ETXv3 enclosed pods, the mounting pattern lines up. The install itself is straightforward for anyone comfortable with a socket set and a little patience. Fit the bracket to the OEM tower point, snug the stainless hardware, then hang and aim your speakers. Most folks knock it out in an afternoon. We'd still say take your time on the aim, because a few degrees makes a real difference in how the sound carries back to the water.

One thing worth knowing before you order. JL Audio makes this fixture in two flavors. This one, the M-MCPV3-MC, is the standard-profile mount. There's also a low-profile version, the M-MCPv3-MC/LP, that tucks the pods in tighter to the tower. Both fit the same 2006-and-up MasterCraft tower and the same ETX speakers, so the call comes down to the stance and clearance you want. If you like the way the standard mount presents the pods, this is the one to grab.

A couple of honest notes to close. These brackets are the mount only. The ETX speakers aren't included, so have those on hand or on the way. And the fixture is engineered around the OEM MasterCraft tower position from 2006 forward. If your boat is older or wears an aftermarket tower, double-check your tubing and mounting points before you buy, because the fit is dialed in for that factory location. Square all that away and you've got a clean, purpose-built way to put your ETX pods exactly where they belong.
