phips25 Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 After doing a search it did not turn up much information so I am going to pose my unique situation question. I have a drywalled air-conitioning duct that I need to hang the speaker off of the bottom of. During my search here I have tured up this mount http://www.electronicaccessory.com/mall/bkspe.asp that semms to work. The only problem is I think is I will have to get a peice of plywood and drill two screw into it and mount the speaker on that and then attatch the mount onto the onther side of the plywood. Does this sound like a feasible plan or can someone else think up a better idea. Thanks, Phips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofy Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I'll probably get shot for this, but! Hofy's Duct Tape Mounting System http://www.geocities.com/hofmonstr All sillyness aside, the plywood idea seems best. Just how heavy are the speakers though? Weight and vibration could be bad news.

phips25 Posted December 16, 2002 Author Share Posted December 16, 2002 does this sound like it will work everyone? Or is the weight an issue? Thanks, Phips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phips25 Posted December 18, 2002 Author Share Posted December 18, 2002 Not to be pushy but does anyone have any other ideas or does this sound good I already have got my wire and am ready to move on to fishing it through the wall. I am eagerly awaiting what they will sound like when in place. Thanks, Phips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofy Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 12 pounds shouldnt be too much. I guess you will just have to proceed and post the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m00n Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 What ever you do, don't let skonopa help you mount your speakers, his speakers fall off the walls and bust other things up. I know, I know, that is mean but I just couldn't resist. Who loves ya Skonopa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phips25 Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 Keith sent me this picture everyone he said it isnt his and this is the exact setup I want to do. Can anyone claim the ownership to this craftsmanship, I was wondering if just drywall could suport this with toggle bolts. Does everyone think that the MDF board will hold the speaker?

Gonna be hard times for a while Well, the thing is that I am going out with a group of something like 9 people, so convincing the others to make a side trip to Portland just won't happen. If I was going by myself, I'd try to get a day or two in for a visit. BTW, that'll suck - having no system for a little while - oh boy, the withdrawals . May have to find a Bose store to tide you over, eh? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Bose outlet store about 20 miles away. Which there was a Klipsh outlet. Might actually be able to hear some heritage speakers.

kfalls Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 I have two pair of the RS-3s for my Yamaha RX-V2095. I mounted mine directly to the wall using dry-wall anchors. These particular anchors were pretty cool, different from most you see. They have a diameter od approx. 3/8" and the body of the anchor is cork-screwed so you can drive them straight into the dry-wall with #2 phillips head screwdriver. They can hold up to 50 lbs, so the RS-3s 12lbs wasn't a problem. I'm more into quality than quantity, but have done my fair share of CRANKING up the volume. They have been mounted for over a year without loosening or any other problems. I purchased mine from Menard's, but have seen them at Home Depot, and Lowe's as well. Hope this helps.
