UT525B: How To Set Up w/ Mounting Brackets

Introduction

This guide provides a step-by-step process for installing the brackets on your Rockville UT525B speakers. These swivel-mount speakers can be adjusted 360° for optimal sound positioning. Follow along to ensure a secure and professional installation on your UTV, ATV, boat, or other bar-mounted setups.

What’s Included in the Box

• UT525B speakers (pair)
• Four bolts, washers, and nuts
• Rubber pads (for grip and stability)
• Sizing strips (to ensure a snug fit on different bar sizes)
• Mounting brackets (two sizes: small and large)

Choosing the Right Bracket for Your Bar

• Smaller brackets → Fits bars 1.5" - 1.7"
• Larger brackets → Fits bars 1.8" - 2"
• Sizing strips → Use if the bracket doesn’t fit perfectly

Tip: You may need to experiment to find the best combination for your specific bar.

Tools Needed:

• 3/16 Allen key (for tightening bolts)

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Adjust the Swivel Mounts for Speaker Positioning

• Remove the two bolts securing the swivel mount using the Allen key.
• Loosen the middle bolt to rotate the swivel mount to the desired position.
• Align the swivel mount holes with the holes on the speaker enclosure to lock in the position.
• Reinstall the bolts to secure the swivel mount.

 Important: Once mounted, you cannot adjust the swivel mount, so set the position before installation.

2. Attach the Rubber Pads to the Swivel Mounts

• Peel off the adhesive backing from the rubber pads.
• Stick the rubber pad onto the top of the swivel mount and press firmly.
• Repeat for the second speaker.
• These pads help prevent slipping once mounted to the bar.

3. Install the Brackets onto the Bar

• Insert the sizing strips into the brackets if needed to create a snug fit.
  • Use thicker or thinner strips as necessary.
• Place the brackets over the bar.
• Ensure the brackets face the same direction for a uniform installation.

4. Mount the Speakers to the Brackets

• Align the swivel mount holes with the holes on the bracket.
• Slide the bracket onto the mount for a secure fit.
• Insert a bolt through the bracket and swivel mount holes.
  • Add a washer before inserting the bolt.
• Repeat with the second bolt.
• Insert the nuts into the grooves at the back of the brackets.
• Tighten everything securely using the Allen key.

Final Checks

✅ Ensure all bolts are tightened securely.
✅ Check that the speakers do not wobble.
✅ Confirm that the speakers are positioned correctly for your setup.

Conclusion

Following these steps, you should now have securely mounted UT525B speakers on your bar with adjustable 360° swivel positioning.
