For the passive radiator to be most effective, the back of the speaker needs to be a substantial distance from the wall. Otherwise, you won't be getting the bass response you're used to. Dave in Nashville ---------------- I'm starting to lean towards grating the passive radiator and using a 12" metal speaker stand (draped with cloth) I was given with them. (And hoping for the best.) How far is "a substantial distance from the wall," and is the stand going to hurt the sound at all?

I am planning on putting them about 5-6 feet up. The house has decently tall ceilings, so this will still leave quite a bit of room between them and the ceiling. I'm hoping not to lose too much bass, the speakers put out pretty good bass, so I'm thinking that with a solid mount, they should still be decent. I'm heartened to hear that hanging them worked good, I can only imagine that solid mounting them will be even better. Is screwing the mounting plate through the bottom going to cause me any problems? It didn't appear that it would when I took a look inside... I'll have to test fit, but Im thinking that I will end up with the speaker close to the position described, bisecting the angle of the walls in front, a few inches from the wall at the bottom, maybe half a foot out (pointed down) at the top. My biggest concern right now is screwing the mounting plate to the bottom. Edit: I like the idea about the speaker grate, I may end up doing that.

I've got a set of KG4's I am looking to get up out of harms way. I've got kids and cats, and they have the exposed 12"er in the back, it is just giving me nightmares. I'm looking at http://omnimount.com/product.asp?p=55 , they will allow me to proper aim the speakers and whatnot. They will also support 60lbs., the speakers are 40#. The speakers have a base screwed into the bottom of them, which I planned to remove. Then, since they have no threaded mount insert, I had planned to screw the mount from Omni to the bottom. It appears to me that this should be fine and not cause any problems. Does this seem reasonable, or is there something better and/or cheaper I could do. (Those Omnimounts are quite a bit pricey, but they seem like they are probably worth it to me...) Thanks!
