Yes, they include the TC3 Fixed Mini Clamps, which are designed for straightforward tower mounting. The hardware is also corrosion-resistant to withstand harsh marine environments.
No, this specific model does not include LED lighting. They are designed with a sleek, minimalist black finish focused entirely on audio performance.
These speakers are sold exclusively as a complete pair. You will receive two speakers and the necessary mounting hardware in one package.
