Yes that happened to me on one of the speakers too. I ended up getting one screw ut so I couldattach it then super glued it so it was secured to the bracket. That worked for me.

yes the screws almost fell in when I mounted mine all you have to do is take the 4 Philips head screws out of the back and take the speaker out and push the screws back in Mount the speaker bracket then put your speaker back in

nah a bit of wiggling and they line up theyre made to fit snug contact shark theyre usually real quick on fixing any issues in my exp with them

They were a little tight. i drilled one hole per bracket to the next size and had no problem

You get what you pay for, unfortunately I learned that lesson as well with this product. The screw holes didn't line up well for me either but I made it work. They don't sound that great at the volume needed to hear doing 70 mph. The wired remote is next to impossible to mount because it doesn't come with a bottom to the bracket and the cordless remote doesn't work if the amp is mounted in a bag or under the seat. I will definitely be upgrading when I have more money but the set up works for now.

Sorry. I had no problem with my system installation kit. Everything connected properly.

I have the same brackets & speakers. I fabricated a 2" x about 5" x 1/8" steel plate with drilled holes to bolt to the bracket and 2 bolts as hangers for the speaker's keyhole mounts. Works.

I just finished assembling this bike less than an hour ago; so, this is still fresh in my mind. I had a bit of trouble with this as well. First, make sure everything is lined up straight and the screw holes are open. You may need to turn the screw through each of the holes (before assembling) to open them up if they are not drilled open all the way. I also found that it took a bit of "elbow grease" to get the screw to go all the way in as it is supposed to do. The first few turns of the screwdriver are difficult, then it screws in smoothly. Perhaps there is a holding material on the inside of the handlebars that you have to get through, I'm not sure. I hope this helps; good luck!

This happened to me too. I wound up contacting the seller, and they offered to ship me a new piece and have the old sent back to them. The new one also arrived damaged, but that one still had some screws in the box, and I was able to get a screwdriver and tighten the screws in. The first one was completely unfixable as the screws were missing and the holes in the wood were stripped.

I love the Kicker subwoofer, HOWEVER, they don't tell you when you purchase the speaker grils, tat they DON'T supply the hardware. They are special long screws that NO oe carries, including car installation places or Home Depot and you can't get the screw in the same color as the grille it only omes in silver, if you find or order. Also, you have to have someone help you, because this screw actually replaces the support screw holding the speaker in its place and they are pretty heavy to be able to do with one hand on your own. Just a pain in the a**!!!Wrote to kicker, trying to get info on screws, they never replied.

It appears that the brackets will only attach to the back of speakers. I do not recall receiving any auxiliary brackets in the assembly packet, and I did not have parts left over after assembly other than some extra screws.

I couldn't find an image on google of the back of those speakers but if they hook on a screw on the wall, then yes, if you have the screw that matches its threading then even better. The stands are pretty universal and come with a couple screws but non of them matched my speakers so I just used a screw a plastic nut I came with and hooked it on. It was a pretty tight squeeze getting it on but it won't fall off easily. If you get them, run a thread down the tube first with a screw for weight attached and the other end tie it to the speaker wire or tape it together. Much easier than pushing your wires down.

I used drywall screws to mount the speaker directly to the wall and it worked very well. I also see Yamaha makes brackets which were listed on the bottom of the page when I checked out as recommended or frequently bought together. I have not used these brackets but I am sure they would work since they are offered by Yamaha.

Hey Donna; I had trouble putting one of the bolts through one of the holes where the arm meets the foot pipe. I got stuck on that one part for about 30 minutes to an hour. It was like the holes were not synced when they were cut. It took some moving around and a few grey hairs later voila! I had my issue on the "L" footbar and arm bar. I had to maneuver the arm and leg every which way to get it to fit. Eventually it ended up going in; could not tell you what I did to force it to fit. It was like little effort did it over my weak force! I hope you ae able to get it to work. I am on the elliptical as I write this and it is an amazing pice of equipment.

I would try and take the screws back out and that move the handle bars around a bit and put them back in , i had a similiar problem and thats all there was to it..Im not sure if you have tried this but im just suggesting it..Deb :)

I had the same problem until my son showed me how to put them together. But, maybe yours is different than mine. I thought I was going to have to buy an adapter but I was trying to put the new extension on first and then the the original on that. I had to add the extension on to the original. Once I put the original first and extension last it worked like it was supposed to. Not saying that will work for you but it did for me.

Hey Guys, I just received a 2nd, 3-tiered unit. Low and behold, again with the same 2x3" support bracket that Michael Vitale commented on on May 23. As I don't see any replies that appear to be from manufacturer's reps, I'm going to do a bit more research. If no further response from me, you can figure that I sent it back. Bummer.

If a small shelf would be good enough, then these brackets are way too big anyway. I'm no audiofile, and don't know much about speakers, but don't they have screw-holes in the back for mounting? I'd find screws (probably machine screws) that match those sockets, go to Best Buy or some equivalent and tell them what you're trying to do. I'm sure they have brackets that will be perfect for you needs.

The brackets to mount the lights and mic have been painted stuck. Trying to remove the clips only strips the screws. There's no hole for the stem of the screw to fit into and one would have to use paint remover to release the clips and drill a hole to accommodate the screw stem.Crap!!!

I had the same issue at first, but it was because they weren't seated on each other properly. Make sure the holes are aligned and the halves are seated well before putting the screws on. Hope this helps.

David, the mounts are fine for the speaker stands. The stands come in a set of two and with that a set of two screws/mounts etc. There are two types of screws available directly with the speaker, and the first one I tried fit fine. :)There is an L shaped piece of metal that supports the speaker, and the speaker wires can go around it. Please contact me directly (is that possible here?) and I can send you pictures!

Mine didn't fit together either, which was one of the many reasons I was going to return it. When Amazon told me to just keep it or throw it away, I gave it to a neighbor who used his own screws to get it together.
