rhathawy Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I have searched the forum and found a few dated posts that discussed using Omnimounts with RB-75s. Now that any of you using this type of setup have had some run time with it would you recommend it to someone else? Thanks in advance.

tmilam Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I use the Omnimounts 30.0 (I think that's the model #) for wall-mounting a pair of RB 5II's. They have worked very well. I had to make some modifications to the mounting bracket so that the speaker wire could be passed to the speaker, but they look very nice. I made some other small modifications to the RB 5II's as well that would take some time to give all the details--just let me know if you have any questions.

rhathawy Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 I am going to post this up for other that maybe looking for the same information in the future. I wanted info on how to Omnimount a pair of RB-75s. I did not want to have to drill into the box on the RB-75's to mount the Omnimount brakets. So this is what I did. On the bottom of the RB-75s are two 1/4" mounting holes. I used some 1 x 6 oak board to fashion a plate to fit on the bottom of the speaker. I mounted the oak board to the speaker via the two mounting holes using 2 torx bolts that are used in furniture assembly. I picked these up at Lowes. These are handy because they have a flat head that requires a torx driver to install. The flat head means there is no interference with the Omnimount bracket. I then attached the Omnimount bracket to the oak boards with four 5/16" x 1" lag screws with two lock washers on each screw. I added the lock washers to ensure the lag screw wouldn't penetrate the oak boards into the speaker. I bottom mounted the speaker using WBX 60 pound rated Omnimounts. Works like a charm and are solid as a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
