Jakeg123 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I am going to get a pair of RS-42s within the next week or so. I am planning on hanging them on the walls. Unfortunately, in the place that I want to hang them, there is no stud. If I were to hang them anywhere else, it would make them not sound as good. How should I go about hanging these 10 pound speakers on the drywall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I am sure there is someway to do this, but to me it seems dangerous. Wouldn't you be just as well of getting some Stands for the Speakers? JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nezff Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I hung mine in the sheetrock with sheetrock anchors you can buy at any home improvement store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 You should be able to go to your local home improvement store(L***S or HD) and find a huge assortment of drywall anchors. Some are even capable of holding up to 75lbs. If you have the room, another thought would be to cut a say 17in x 17in piece of 7/16in plywood and screw it into the studs. Then secure your speaker to the plywood. Paint the plywood to your liking and picture frame it. You then have a secure mount that should easily pass the WAF.

Fish Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I bought some anchors at home depot,as was mentioned,they are rated at about 75 pounds.My rs7 have been hanging on them for 7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 "Unfortunately, in the place that I want to hang them, there is no stud." He said where he wanted to hang them there was no stud. As you probably know, most wall studs are placed 16inches on center. A 17in. piece of plywood should overlap any studs and be able to be screwed to them.

Oblio Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 We used some of those curved wire thingy hangers (each inserted in drywall with no drilling) to hang a VERY heavy (two man lift) icon in our church. Monkey/Gorilla Hook Wall anchor test results indicate failure at 50#, not sure if they tested the Monkey or Gorilla model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeg123 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Thanks for all of the information everyone! Unfortunately, i do not have enough space, or the extra money to buy stands for the RS-42s. I went to ace hardware and picked up some drywall anchors (10 pack for about $10). They say they can hold up to 90 pounds. I only need them to hold 10 pounds so i figure they should be okay. I am going to try them out and see how they are. If they seem solid, i'll keep them. If they seem a little unstable, there is no way I am taking the chance! If they don't work, I will try out some of your guy's other ideas! Also, I don't need to worry about WAF, I am only 14!

Bill H. Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Two things. 1. Good Luck with the Project- let us know how it works out, with Pictures. 2. Sounds like you better get MAF (Mom Acceptance Factor) ! [H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Wasn't thinking clearly...............my apology............. No need to apologize.
