- and
- f) the speaker positioned adjacent the binding with less than an inch between the speaker and the binding.
A mount configured for a downhill snow ski sound system with a speaker and a ski-board with a binding, the mount comprising:
- a) a plate sized and shaped to be sandwiched between the binding and the ski-board;
- b) an aperture in the plate configured to receive a fastener therethrough between the binding and the ski-board;
- c) an orifice associated with the plate and positioned to be outside a perimeter of the binding;
- and
- d) a strap coupled to and extending from the orifice and configured to couple to the speaker to couple the speaker to the ski-board and the binding proximate the binding.
