ngoulding Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I have a pair of RS-35's that I want to use as rear speakers. They need to be angled down but they don't have any threaded inserts. all they have is a keyhole mounting bracket. Does anyone have ideas as to how to mount these at an angle?

The Dude Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Are you crafty, someone once used hinges, and chain to hold them up at the right angel. There was a thread on it somewhere around here. As small as those are it shouldn't take much. So basically the hinge will mount to the bottom of the speaker and to the wall, then the chains would mount to the top the speaker and to the wall. Now you can adjust it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Build a wedge mounting block like Wake Junkie did for Youthman. Send Wake or Youthman a PM. Use this link and page down a ways to see photo. http://www.avsforum.com/t/1076751/stevens-home-theater-the-fun-begins/450 Bill Edited March 2, 2014 by willland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I have RS 35's up near the ceiling and just hang them by the keyhole. They don't have to be angled down although they can. These are not direct radiator speakers like a tower or booshelf speakers. They work well being near boundries and are wide dispersion style speakers.

ngoulding Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks for the ideas. I think I'll go with the hinge and hanging wires. I like simple. If it looks cheap I can build a wedge later. Thanks for the ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I have my Rear RB-75s laying horizontal and tilted towards our LP. I picked up a couple of L-brackets and white boards that I attached to the wall and put the speakers on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Go to a big box hardware store and buy a couple of framing brackets. Add some custom bending and you're in for a couple of bucks. Keith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bill's Idea but I thought the rs-35s were a bit small for that. But both look like the will work great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngoulding Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks for all of the great ideas. Hinges/chain or framing brackets I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
