USNRET Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 As I move into the new place I constantly find issues with placement of speakers. Left and right Jubilees KI 396 with vertical mod on order from factory to mount horizontally as center and this is the question. Other than constructing or buying an equipment rack that the center would rest on how would you mount the 396 center to the wall? Length 36.3' long now in the horizontal plane (assuming 16" center on studs) Depth 16" Weight 76 lbs If a floating shelf perhaps triangular with angle adjustable to account for the 396's shape Ideas?

JBCODD Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 With all the "hard points" you could fly it from the ceiling using 3/8 eye bolts and chain or wire rope. This would allow for easier vertical changes/adjustments versus moving a shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of a cantilever system from the wall. Note my extremely comfy seating while awaiting furniture. There will be a 77" TV in the middle, a rack of electronics and then there are two SVS PB 4000 subs to be placed somewhere. 5.2 systems with 396s as the center and surrounds.

I have seen references to a "C" bracket but my searches turned up nothing. Due to TV viewing angle, Jub height and center 396 height compromises I am guessing to mount the 396 at about centerline of the Jubs' LF/HF split line. Thoughts?

USNRET Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Finally found a source for a single bracket as most came in pairs. Ordered. @Chief bonehead move my vertical 396 to the head of the line 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBCODD Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 That will certainly beat the heck out of dust collecting suspension cables. I too had looked for suitable brackets but didn't find a one.

Shiva Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Are you going to mount the tv to the wall? What is behind that wall. by the way? Perhaps an invisible center, as Garyrc did, could be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps an invisible center, as Garyrc did, could be cool. The TV, which will be installed Monday (ordered in November), will be mounted and there is a bedroom behind the wall so no void there. I was reading the TV's manual and it has a function where the TV speakers can be connected to serve as a center channel. I am 100% positive those TV speakers will match up with the JUBs 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about a spike system like a traditional center might have, extra long spikes in the back. Some centers require spikes.

USNRET Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 This was a first. The company that I ordered the bracket from called to verify my address. When I repeated it the gent told me that that address came back under a different name. I was like yes, that's who I bought the house from. I thought that as long as the billing and shipping address matched it was good didn't realize they look at some data base to verify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I guess a LaScala in center with a 510 on top wouldn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a single K510, couple of WG-45 horns and a pair of B&C DE750s I will be putting up for sale. You just need bass bin of your choice.
