Learn step-by-step how to mount speakers on your TRX V1 or V2 racing simulator using a dedicated 5-speaker mount kit for immersive positional audio.

Quick answer

Mount speakers on your TRX V1/V2 racing simulator using the Trak Racer 5-Speaker Mount Kit—it attaches directly to the cockpit frame without drilling, giving you positional audio for sim racing and flight sims.

Why a dedicated mount kit matters

The TRX frame uses round tubes, so standard speaker mounts or desk clamps often don't fit securely. The 5-Speaker Mount Kit is designed specifically for the TRX V1 and V2 chassis, using brackets that clamp around the tubes without damaging the powder coating.

Positional audio helps you hear tire squeal, engine notes, and opponent cars from the correct direction—especially useful in sim racing and flight simulation where spatial awareness matters. A dedicated kit keeps each speaker at ear level and properly angled.

What comes in the kit

The Trak Racer 5-Speaker Mount Kit includes five adjustable brackets, all necessary bolts and T-nuts, and a hex key for assembly. Each bracket can rotate and tilt so you can aim the speaker toward your seating position.

No drilling or permanent modification is required—the brackets clamp onto the TRX tube frame. The kit is compatible with both the TRX V1 and V2 variants.

Step-by-step installation

1. Position the speaker brackets on the frame: Place the front left and right brackets on the horizontal tube just behind the steering wheel mount. Position the rear left and right brackets on the rear horizontal tube behind the seat. Place the center bracket on the tube directly in front of the seat or above the pedal tray, depending on your preference. Common mistake: mounting speakers too far forward or backward, which throws off the soundstage. Keep front speakers close to ear level.
2. Attach the brackets without tightening fully: Slide each bracket over the tube and hand-tighten the bolts just enough to hold the bracket in place. The brackets have a rubber-lined clamp to protect the frame finish. Do not fully tighten yet—you need to adjust angles and positions. Checkpoint: ensure the bracket clamp is fully seated around the tube before tightening. A loose clamp can shift during driving.
3. Mount the speakers to the brackets: Screw the speaker into the bracket using the provided bolts. Most speakers have a standard 1/4-inch or M8 threaded insert on the back or bottom. Align the speaker so the cable can run neatly along the frame. Common mistake: overtightening the speaker bolt, which can strip the threads in the speaker. Tighten until snug, then stop.
4. Adjust speaker angle and final tighten: Sit in your sim racing seat and have a helper or use a reference point to aim each speaker toward your head position. The brackets allow tilt and swivel. Once aimed, fully tighten all bolts with the hex key. Checkpoint: after tightening, give each speaker a gentle tug to confirm it's secure. A loose bracket can vibrate and rattle during use.
5. Route and secure the speaker cables: Use zip ties or cable clips to attach the speaker cables along the TRX frame tubes. Keep cables away from pedal and wheelbase moving parts. Leave enough slack for any future adjustments. Common mistake: routing cables tightly across joints or moving parts, which can pinch wires or cause disconnection.
