whamo Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hey all. Yesterday I picked up a pair of Ultimate TS-90B's. These are very nice thanx for the recommendations on these. Hopefully my hardware will be in today from Parts Express. Anyways here's the question. When installing my brackets I probably want to mount them a few inches forward of center to balance the load since the drivers are in front. Correct? I think I'll try about 2.5 inches forward unless someone knows better. Take care all. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 If you mean the pole mounts, I don't think it really makes a difference. If the tripods are as strong as claimed, there should be no problems placing the mounts in the center of the speaker. However, If you want to move them forward to counteract the weight inbalance, I would just make sure you aren't trying to put the mount where a speaker is. But at the same time, I don't know what kind of hardware you're using, so I am running on the assumption that they are pole mounts that mount flush with the bottom of the cabinet and go into the cabinet itself.....

whamo Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 Yeah, they're pole mounts. I drilled the hole an inch and a quarter forward of center. It worked out well. I was able to lift my KP-301's up about 6 feet in the air by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Place the speaker on top of a cylindrical object such as dowel rod (with it oriented side to side). Roll the speaker forward and backward until is is balanced (ok, you'll still have to hold on a bit). Mark that position on the base of the cabinet- THAT is the center of gravity and you'll want to center the pole mount on that line. MAKE SURE to check for internal obstructions such as woofer magnets and crossovers BEFORE cutting the hole. You may have to remove the woofer or rear of speaker to do this.
