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.
