the center channel is heavier than the others. Should i install a 2x4 under to hold the weight? Bad for vibrations?

It is designed for hang on to the drywall so it is ok without the 2x4. but u can if u don't feel safe.

I wouldn't recommend attaching that much weight to the drywall. I'm using some small JBL's, and made sure they were anchored into the studs.

Thanks. Is there anything in the middle like a crossbar or anything that would get in the way of the center channel speaker?

It's pretty heavy, but I'd probably put a 2x2 (or however high it would be off the table) down the center to support it. Then you'd have no worries.

i run mine on 1 12" comp RT n it sounds n pounds.. it'll run 2 just maybe not have the power to bump hard

I would also say NO! They seem to do a great job stabilizing the front end from sway and bounce, but not heavy duty enough for full weight support.

If you're not looking to mount them too high off the ground these stand should do you just fine. My speakers are pretty heavy for unpowered ones and the were fine. So all depends in your usage situation if you want them at maximum height in the middle of an open stage, where there is wind, maybe a bad buy, otherwise I'm extremely happy with them for the price I paid.

yes, comes with mounting hardware too so it will not tip over, if you're putting it in a trunck though I'd buy something with a higher RMS, but that's just me

There is a center support beam. I am using a split boxspring, just measure and make sure it fits on the frame. There is not problem with my box springs, no wiggles, etc.

The original box springs do NOT work well, you need a flat surface so there is not sagging - we removed the box springs, put in 2x4s and plywood and that works wonderfully well on the original frame

Just installed with a pair of BS22s this evening. I used some Blu-tak to help hold the speakers to the base, and it seems to be holding just fine. I have them tilted as far downward as they will go, too.

What I have found is that the stands have too small a base to support anything off-center. I re-tasked my stands from holding speakers for my home theater to supports for my JBL Praxxis 14 monitors. With that weight, they are very unsteady and I had to sandbag the bases (not very practical). With a monitor arm attached, I am afraid you would be greatly disappointed when the stand tips and your equipment hits the floor. Might I suggest an adjustable stand with a WIDE base.

I do not have a heavy speaker load on my unit so I can't give an informed answer. However I would not recommend stacking another unit on top of this one since you will block the vents and impede cooling when it might be required. Without ever measuring the load or the internal temperature, how would you really definitively know when you are overloading the unit?

I can say that at 280 it feels very sturdy, but it's starting to get some creaks and whatnot in it now. It may support 350 but I imagine you'd want to shoot for something rated for 450 just to be on the safe side.

If properly installed the weight should not be a problem. The problem will undoubtably come from the mounting purchases on the new TV.

There is a center support but it was very weak. We ended up going to Home Depot for slats that were thicker and screwed them into the frame on the inside rails and also used the center support they provided.
