tigerwoodKhorns 786 Posted November 6, 2019 Title says it all. How to hang a Heresy size speaker on a wall?? I have a pair of JBls that are about the same size and want to hang high on a wall. Hard to find a decent mount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DizRotus 7516 Posted November 6, 2019 I used these from Parts Express. The KP201s are now mounted to blue block between the aluminum frame and the acoustical panel. The speaker in the bottom photo is upside down with respect to how it was ultimately mounted. Looking through the grill you can see that the tweeter is at the bottom when mounted. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerwoodKhorns 786 Posted November 6, 2019 Did you have to drill a hole in the bottom of the speaker for the insert? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used those to attach small single drivers (the one below the TV). The heavy duty brackets from PE allowed the the speakers to be angled left to right, rotated , or tilted to precisely aim them into the mniddle school band practice space below.

JohnA 848 Posted November 7, 2019 I use an old CRT TV mount. But I couldn't even find a decent pic of one. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jvs1670 43 Posted November 7, 2019 I've used French Cleats before for Heresy's, they hang just fine. Can get them at Lowe's or Home Depot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwilawyer 2956 Posted November 7, 2019 You cannot, should not, must not, try to use mounting hardware on the back of a Heresy to wall mount. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would advise against it, too....the rear panel of the Heresy is MDF, and the box panels are also MDF....ever since the original Heresy II entered the picture, and the joinery of the rear panels to the rest of the box panels is basically a glued "capture" of the rear panel into the other panels, which is actually a weak point for hanging from the rear panel or the rear edges of the other box panels...using wood-type screws alone to attach some hanging device in that area may be asking for eventual trouble, IMHO....and for the new Heresy IV, it is now rear-ported, with a one-inch taller cabinet which adds some more weight to it....PLUS, it needs to be out from the wall the "ideal distance", which will vary with the room they will be in, in order to maximize its rear tractrix porting sound.....SOOOOOOOOO....

jason str 2374 Posted November 7, 2019 Seeing as the last 3 posts obviously didn't actually read your post i just wanted to chime in on the MDF comment, if it happens to be made from MDF and needs to be rear mounted just add a steel plate to both sides of the cabinet and bolt through that so nobody gets hurt underneath.

I have a pair of JBls that are about the same size and want to hang high on a wall. Hard to find a decent mount. Why not just get a pair of the black pro Heresy looking speakers that have the slant backs and two drivers, they use in theaters ? If you have to mount the Heresy, I would double the bottom with a piece of plywood and run nuts and bolts through the plate and the bottom of the heresy with some large washers on the inside.
