Hardhitter Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I have just ordered a set of RS7's for my system. My old rears sat on stands, and I would like to mount the new speakers on the walls. I checked out the online manual, the two screw system seems a little weak! I was wondering if anyone has a better mounting system than 2 drywall screws? Or is does this system work well. My speakers should be here Tuesday, and I would like to have a good game plan! Thanks for your input! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I've had rs7's hanging with some heavy duty toggle type drywall mounts for a few years,not even in a stud.I had one good spot to mount them and thers's no stud there but each toggle holds 75lbs(if installed correctly).

CECAA850 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Panhead screws in the stud are fine, they'll never fall. Screws in the drywall are NOT fine. As the prev. poster stated toggle bolts or hollow wall anchors are the only way to go. I mounted one of mine that way a year ago and it's still tight to the wall. My 2 SVS's have definately given it the stress/vibration test. Oh, by the way, they are a pain in the rear to mount. Don't do it by yourself or you'll surely drop them.

jacksonbart Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I also used the pan head screws, the size recommended in the manual. No issues, just make sure you don't screw them into to far and that its in a stud, might take two or tries to get the speaker to sit flush on the wall and then get it wired up as well. I used those rubber mounts on the back so that was resting against the drywall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygmn Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I made an angled wall mount bracket doohickey for mine so I could have them angled down. and then I use 2 panhead screws in this wooden mount for the RS to attach too.... no problems.....do use the little rubber stick on feet in the RS owners manual package so they will not vibrate against wall....

tommyboy Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 As long as you use the right wall anchors, you'll be fine. Different speaker, but my ss1's have been hung in 3 different homes, (I move a lot), and they've never fallen or even looked like they would. My wife even has "nick nacks" on them.

Hardhitter Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hey thanks guys! I was just worried that they wouldn't hold. But I guess I was wrong. By the way, what is up with your wife using your speakers as shelves? NOT IN MY HOUSE! I just chewed out my kid for setting a DVD on my speaker, he has been asked to leave the theater! Thanks again!!

tommyboy Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Lol. We have a deal that I can have all my speakers, if she gets to "decorate" the living room. but as far as all my other speakers, no way. She didn't want me to hang them, so that was part of our deal. that she could put her stuff on them. It's the whole W.A.F. thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
