Do I need construction brackets for Polk Audio RC85i speakers?? Please let me know someone before I place the order?

Yes, if they make one and there no drywall. Construction bracket is used during new construction and when there is no drywall, it allows for the drywaller to stop his drywall and create the right size hole. So, on finish there is no need to cut a hole out.

Not needed from my experience. The included bracket hangs firmly from the drywall.

these speakers mount with no hardware into drywall. They have ears that anchor behind the drywall.

what do you mean by construction brackets? the speaker will pin itself to the drywall using built in fasteners as long as you have enough space between the studs for it.

The speakers I bought (which have excellent sound, by the way), have a built in slot on the back. I just put screws in the wall and slipped the speakers over the screws. Couldn't have been easier. Perhaps the newest require mounts, but I believe they are optional and only needed if you want to angle your speakers some special direction. These are cleverly designed so you have several hanging options without the need for additional mounting hardware.

I didn't mount them, but the speakers were mounted to the wall using these: http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Universal-Speaker-Brackets-Ceilings/dp/B001QNBUA4/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y. I hope this helps.

Personally, I simply bought little square shelves and strong brackets at Lowe's and mounted them to my walls (in the beams, not just drywall....I'm not stupid). As long as the brackets are centered and strong enough, they work fine. The shelves I bought actually fit the speakers perfectly, allowing me to angle the front ones. The side speakers fit with a little bit of room on each side so the shelf is just about as wide as the speaker, so it fits nice. The shelves I bought weren't for the brackets I bought, but you can drill a couple of holes in them and make 'em fit. :)

Not sure what you mean by brackets....they have several sets of pre drilled holes to accommodate different mounting requirements. By adapters I assume you mean wiring adapters...no. It comes with speaker wire with the correct fittings for the speakers. This set sounds fantastic!

the included speaker brakets are for wall mounting. I ordered the ceiling hanging brackets and have not used them.

Yes you can..... since this package included brackets.. ensure you mount them tight since the speakers were heavy.

They do not have brackets. I have mine sitting on small shelves in the tracking room. In general, these monitors sound best on speaker stands that keep them a foot or two away from walls. Otherwise,bass response will be less than ideal.

I really wish I could help but. We ordered these and they never came. We ended up going with a different set of Polk Audio speakers like the ones we already had. Sorry. :(

This is the optimal speaker to use with the RC85i and the rest of the RC series despite what the details pages on Amazons RT and LS in-wall center channel say. See Polk's website Q&A; section for the RC85i speaker. Also, this speaker has a spot for a Xantech IR sensor to hide behind your speaker grill. Very slick.

They should work and there are no other brackets needed; all parts are included with the stands. We have the V30 Bose system with the cube speakers. The price with Amazon was cheaper also than Bose.

Yes, they are the same as the center speaker. I would not use the included brackets, just the mounts already on the speaker (see the manual for details).

Go to Polk's website and look at the specs. They have them. I think you are ok but I am not 100% but they are flush to wall and not very deep. Mine fit and I just have 2x4 studs and 5\8" drywall I think. I still had space to put pink insulation behind to help baffle the sound. Dont forget that!

If a small shelf would be good enough, then these brackets are way too big anyway. I'm no audiofile, and don't know much about speakers, but don't they have screw-holes in the back for mounting? I'd find screws (probably machine screws) that match those sockets, go to Best Buy or some equivalent and tell them what you're trying to do. I'm sure they have brackets that will be perfect for you needs.

You will need to purchase brackets separately. They are inexpensive and available here on Amazon.

Yes. Just keep them pointed slightly down to keep the rain out of the bass port. They don't need mounting brackets. The back is sloped so that you can hang them tweeter down and they will have the right downward slope great speakers for the money!

They have 1-3/8" mounting poles. This is the most common size, but you will need to check your speakers.
