I've been working on building four of Thomas & Jon's M8A Mk III sealed speakers as surrounds for my basement theater. Now that they are nearly complete (and sound GREAT!), I need a way to mount them to the walls. The trouble is that they are quite heavy - 50lbs each. The room is framed with 2x4 framing that is 24" on center.
I've been searching here and online in general to look for mounting options and have only really come across two options:
1) "Standard" keyhole mounting brackets that will screw into a recess in the back of the cabinet. I figured I could put 2 keyholes in the back of each cabinet, one above the other one.
2) Some sort of horizontal "mounting bracket". I found one made by Bose, but don't think its up to holding 50lbs. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_018WB3/...-brackets.html
My other option is to make my own bracket using green metal chicken wire posts. I could cut short lengths, screw one onto the back of the speaker and the other onto the wall and they would function like the Bose ones.
Is there a best method here, or am I missing any other choices?
Thanks!
Eric
