Once you have determined what size tower inserts you need, there is a
MOUNTING
TEMPLATE
that can be taped horizontally to the tower. Temporarily affix this template
to the tower to determine appropriate distances between the two clamps needed for
mounting the PRO 485. This will make it easier to mount the two brackets in the necessary
location so that the U-brackets slide onto them properly. After determining the locations of
where the brackets are going to be mounted, wrap the provided rubber strips around the
tower in those exact placements. Once you have completed this you now need to place the
inserts over the rubber strips. As stated earlier, the use of the rubber strips will protect your
tower from abrasion and will help to prevent movement of the mounting clamp.
Now it’s time to mount the clamps. Be sure to place the clamp over the inserts (if inserts
are used). Make sure the inserts and the two pieces of the clamp are touching. There
should be no gaps as the U-bracket has zero tolerance for flexing or movement. The U-
bracket should slide right into the grooves of the clamp to complete a snug fit. If there is a
gap, make sure you are using the proper size inserts and/or that the clamp is as tight as
possible.
Attach the U-bracket to the speaker housing using the stainless steel bolts provided. Wet
Sounds recommends the use of Lock-Tite for these bolts. Once you have securely
tightened all the bolts in a crisscross pattern, you can then slide the speaker up onto the
clamp.
Once the speaker is in place, use the Trick Connect™ bolts to hold the speaker in place.
Please make certain that all bolts are in place and are tightened before removing the
underneath support.
(Warning: It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all bolts are securely attached. It is
also recommend to re-check the Trick Connect™ bolts periodically as they will loosen with
time. It is also recommend to remove the speakers from the tower if towing long distances)
Now that you have the PRO 485 securely in place, insert the speaker connector to complete
the installation.
You are now ready to enjoy the greatest concert performance on water.
