Michael, Thanks for the tip on how to remove the metal grill. I've looked at these speakers now for awhile and could not figure how to open them up without damaging them. And I like your idea of using bolts with washers to mount the brackets, that sounds like a winner. Your thoughts concerning the MDF confirms mine, I don't trust that material to hold screws over the long haul either, and the last thing I need is to drop a 15 pound speaker on someone's head. It might damage the speaker.... lol I was trying to avoid shelving, hoping to make the installation more professional looking and "cleaner" by use of wall brackets, so at the very least I am going to open up one of each and take a look see on the inside for clearances for mounting bolts. Thanks very much for the advice, and the tip on how to open up the case without damaging the speakers. Bill

Nope, no mounting socket in the KSB2.1 or the KSB3.1. That was the first thing I looked for........ I hear you about mounting the speakers into a stud though, particularly the 3.1's, they're pretty hefty.

I need to wall mount my set of KSb2.1 and KSB3.1's for my home theater. I see a variety of after market brackets out there that will do the job but they all require the drilling of mounting screws into the back panel of the speaker. I am wondering if this will damage the speaker and if there any "safe" spots on the back of the speaker that would be ok to position the bracket. My alternative is to build shelving but I wist to avoid that if possible. Is there any technical information out there that would tell me how thick the back wall of the speaker cabinet is and if there this any danger of damaging wiring or speaker components if I drill four mounting holes?
