Skidmarks Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hey guys , I was wondering if anyone had a link or advice on where i might find a custom mount for my RC7 above the DLP. At 45lbs its a bit to heavy to put on the Sammy. I have it on the ower glass shelf now , but it looks to be sagging a little , and that cant be good. I was gonna build something, but would rather just purchase a shelf for that purpose, if there is such a thing? Thx SKID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung? So is it safe to assume you have a samsung rear projection TV? Can you provide pics? Just tryhing to visualize what your issue is.

ygmn Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 make a shelf..... Nail a 2x4 on side to the wall into studs....about say...24 inches long or so... then on top...nail a 1x8 MDF board..... Then on bottom...nail a 1x4 MDF board.... then install some crown molding from 1x4 to 1x8 and wrap end.... set nails...caulk...sand a bit...and paint your room trim color..and ya done... It looks like a floating shelf and is strong as anything.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMonk Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Skid-- Do you have the Samsumg stand for your DLP? I am planning to buy one and had hoped to use the shelf? Any way to remove it? I may have to get a thicker piece of glass made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmarks Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 Yes Samaung HLN507W sorry , and no I am not using the sam. stand , I went with a Bello with a cherry wood that matches the Klipsch cherry. The shelf sounds like a winner, I like the idea of it floating, but the RC7 is nearly 12 " deep so I will need the 1x12 if I go that way. Hell I almost bought a wall mount TV swivel stand , it would have worked. Thanks for your suggestions guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmarks Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 Oh yeah Blue Monk..The stand I bought was rated at 50LBs capacity per shelf. I believe the RC7 is 45.5LBs so it does hold the speaker, but it looks like the glass is sagging, and that cant be good. You will not be able to fit your center on the Samsung stand .

ygmn Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Might want to make the shelve 18" deep to give the rear ports some room to breathe... If so...find the crown molding you prefer...and then measure the offset so you can get the correct bottom board..Offset is the distance the molding goes in from the top mounting surface...you mayhave to rip a board it should look like this from side view.... UP Wall ______________ Wall / Wall ________/ Good luck and do show pics..... PS here is link to a site to detail how to make shelf: http://www.compoundmiter.com/crown_shelves.html His do not come out as far so his crown molding hugs the wall....but it may help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruinsrme Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Skid I am using aceiling tv mount. It is rated for 100lbs. they are also available in wall mount configurations nt. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMonk Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Skid -- Good luck with the shelf. I am sure you are loving that TV. A couple of friends have them and I planned to purchase the 56" in a couple months with my bonus. But the center channel placement may be a deal breaker. Could I remove the shelf and get the RC7 in there? I have no way to put in a shelf or mount anything since the wall behind my TV is about 5 ft tall. Thanks!

Skidmarks Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 LOL Scott, I was just wondering if you are a Boston "Bruins" fan? And I just got back from home depot and was looking at the TV wall mounts LOL...yes looks good thanks...(why didnt my picture open in the post?) Blue Monk....have you made up your mind to get that samsung stand? In my opinion for the price there is so much better out there. If not go to Bello .com check out some of there stands...I paid about $100 more for this stand than the Sammy stand..but it is Cherry and has the wire system .

RRRush Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Skid what did you end up using for the mount. I have a 55" Mitsu but I don't want the top of the TV to sag from the weight. Did you make a shelf or us TV stand? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
