Ocean Rock Audio's own RockPods take a different approach than a typical pre-loaded tower speaker. Instead of shipping a fixed driver sealed inside a fixed enclosure, RockPods are 3D-printed to order, built specifically around the speaker you already have (or the one you're about to buy separately), and clamp onto any round bar from 1" to 2" in diameter. You choose the speaker. We build the pod to fit it.
At $119.95 for a 6.5" pair and $149.95 for an 8" pair, this is a genuinely different way to mount speakers on a boat, golf cart, ATV, UTV, or Jeep.
Key Takeaways
- Sold as a pair, available in 6.5" and 8" sizes, in Black, Red, White, Neon Blue, or Neon Green.
- Built to order: you provide your speaker brand/model and vehicle details at checkout, Ocean Rock Audio verifies cutout, outer diameter, and mounting depth before production.
- Mounts to 1", 1.5", 1.75", or 2" round bars using included adapters and upgraded all-metal 360° swivel clamps.
- 3D printed from weather-resistant PETG, rated for UV, heat, and moisture, with a textured, OEM-style finish.
- Includes coated wrap-around safety chains as a physical backup to the clamp mount.
Why Build-to-Order Instead of Off-the-Shelf
A pre-loaded tower speaker locks you into whatever driver the manufacturer sealed inside it. RockPods separate those two decisions: pick a speaker based on power, sound, or a brand you already trust, then get a pod built specifically for that speaker's cutout and depth. That flexibility comes with one real tradeoff, this isn't an instant off-the-shelf purchase. You submit your speaker brand and model plus your vehicle make and model in the order notes, and fitment gets verified before the pod goes into production.

Feature Walkthrough
Sizing
6.5" pods fit most standard 6.5" speakers (approx. 5.4" cutout, 6.9" outer diameter, 7.8" mounting depth). 8" pods fit most standard 8" speakers (approx. 7.25" cutout, 9.0" outer diameter, 8.5" mounting depth). The 8" version is explicitly not designed for oversized 8" speakers like the Infinity Kappa or JL Audio's 8.8" models, confirm your exact speaker's dimensions against these figures before ordering.
Mounting Hardware
Upgraded all-metal 360° swivel clamps, not the plastic hardware common on cheaper universal mounts, plus bar-size adapters covering 1" through 2" round bars. Wrap-around safety chains are included as a secondary physical retention point.
Build Material
Precision 3D-printed PETG, chosen for weather resistance against UV, heat, and moisture exposure, with a textured finish designed to look factory-built rather than 3D-printed.
Who RockPods Are For
Choose RockPods if you already own a speaker (or want to choose one independently of the enclosure) and need a genuinely universal way to mount it on a round bar, whether that's a wake tower, a golf cart's roll bar, or a UTV roll cage. They're not the right choice if you want a zero-verification, buy-it-and-install-it-today product, the custom fitment process takes real back-and-forth before production starts.
Honest Cons
Not an instant purchase. Fitment verification happens before production, budget time for that step, not same-day shipping.
The 8" pod has real size limits. Oversized 8" speakers like the JL Audio 8.8" or Infinity Kappa don't fit, confirm your exact model's cutout and depth first.
You're sourcing the speaker separately unless you already own one, factor that cost into your total budget, not just the pod price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use RockPods with any speaker brand?
The pods are built around your specific speaker's cutout, outer diameter, and mounting depth, submitted at checkout for verification, rather than being pre-matched to specific brands. Confirm your exact model's dimensions against the pod's stated specs before ordering.
What round bar sizes fit?
1", 1.5", 1.75", and 2" diameters, using the included adapters and spacers.
Do RockPods work on a golf cart or UTV, not just a boat?
Yes, they're built for boats, wake towers, golf carts, ATVs, UTVs, Jeeps, and other round-bar mounting points. See our golf cart build and UTV/ATV build for complete priced examples.
How do I know if my current speakers will fit?
See our RockPods speaker compatibility guide for a brand-by-brand breakdown before you order.
Bottom Line
RockPods trade off-the-shelf convenience for genuine flexibility, any compatible speaker, any 1"-2" bar, verified before production instead of guessed at. Worth it specifically if you want to choose your own speaker rather than accept whatever's sealed inside a pre-loaded tower.
