Klipsch Quintet III Installation

[Sac_GTI]

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post, so I apologize if this topic has been covered before. I recently purchased the Klipsch Quintet III system with Sub-10 woofer. As I began to wall mount the speakers, I noticed that the wall mount that came with each speaker was rather large, and more importantly, with no hole to run the speaker cable through. Any ideas how I can run the speaker cable to the speaker without having to drill a hole in the wall adjacent to the wall mount?

The only two options I could think of were 1) buy a smaller speaker mount to allow the hole to be drilled behind the speaker or 2) drilling a hole into the speaker mount and running the speaker cable that way.

If possible, any pictures showing this install would be great

Thanks

I'm assuming you're fishing/fished your speaker wire thru your walls. On the speaker stand, there is a chrome "nub" right next to the chrome neck where the stand meets the speaker. I'm not sure what this nub is for, but it can be removed by unscrewing it. You can try to squeeze your speaker wire thru there. Good luck.

That nub is for holding the speaker at the angle you want it. There is not a wire hole in the base. Maybe there shold be. If the wire has to come from behind the mount, then you could drill a hole in the foot. Anyway you go about it, there will be wire showing from the binding post to somewhere.

Its seems as if this "nub" has nothing to do with the speaker and its angling at all. I unscrew the nub and it has no effect on the speakers. Has anyone ever used the mounts that came with these speakers to wall mount them? If so, how have they done it?

It just doesn't make sense to me that Klipsch would force someone to drill a hole into the wall adjacent to the mount. Even though there will be wire exposed between the binding post and the mount, it will at least be hidden by the speaker itself.

The "nub" will not do much when hanging the speaker on the wall. It does help when the speaker is on "table".

If you use the vertical mounting holes to hang the speaker, the horzional mounting holes are not used. You could drill a hole in the foot plastic through one of the mount holes not use and bring the wire through there.

IF your wire is small enough to fit through the "nub hole" then sure you can use it for that.

I agree, wire management was not a part of the planning for that foot.

And yes, I have mounted the Q III on a wall.

I dubbed it 'the kickstand'. Removing it does allow for a small gauge wire to be used.

Perhaps Quintet IV will allow a wire managment feature and holes that hang on standard wall box.

Look at the Trey-meister, picking up on Tech Support! []
