How do you install the plate if there isn't a box? I don't want to just screw into drywall.

This is exactly what is says it is just a wall plate with the connectors. You will have to run the wires and mount the box within the wall prior to installing this plate. (To answer your question: cut hole in wall where you want the box. Mount box. Run wire...)

Get a low voltage drywall box like this: Arlington LV1-1CS Single Gang Low Voltage Mounting Bracket Device

There are low voltage boxes that can be installed fairly easily. Search low voltage mounting brackets or box and you'll find what you need.

Yes, get a low-voltage, single gang "old work" box (if putting on existing drywall, "new work" if on new construction without drywall yet) from your local hardware store or from here on Amazon. You could use an existing box if you like, but if you're running new wires, a low-voltage is easiest to work with. I used this exact one from Amazon and it worked great: Arlington LV1-1CS Single Gang Low Voltage Mounting Bracket Device

No. I bought the box (like an electrical box), put it into the drywall and attached the face plate to the box.

I put the screws through the 4 holes in the back of the box. Not sure what the distance is though. Just place your box agaist the wall and mark the holes, then drill a pilot hole. You should be able to hand screw them in to the wall. I do recommend making sure that all screws go into solid wood or some other solid material.

Yes. Mark the holes using the plate, drill holes using a masonry bit (if over concrete slab, continue using masonry bit, if over wood subfloor, switcht to wood drill bit), tap in the anchors (use soapy water to help ease the installation), then screw in the plate.

The plates it comes with are really just strips of metal. All you need is some thin metal and double sided tape and you can mount it.

You can mount it directly on the plate, but I don't recommend that method. The free quick release plate will be good enough or you can use your own.

No box needed. Very easy to install. A template is included to cut the drywall. However, you can put a box over the back of the speaker once installed in your ceiling to prevent anything from hitting the speaker if there is a possibility of it (speaker) being hit, stepped on or something being laid on it in your attic.

I found the same problem. Apparently this some sort of mount that is common overseas, not in the US. I tried to find the wall plates online to no avail. Contacted Philips for help and they just told me they don't sell wall plates. Not the most helpful support in my opinion.

I have mine mounted on dry wall using anchors that screw into the wall. No drilling required. You can get them from Home Depot or lowes. Easy to use.

I used the hanging mount included. Flush mounting would be a little difficult, but just make sure the plate is installed completely or the tamper switch will be tripped.

if you have ALL of the pieces, you should have (3)black rubber stubs, (1) metal plate with (2) screws, and (1) big mounting screw. NOTE: Whatever you do, DO NOT mount on a weak wall (drywall, or not on a stud), this board has some weight, and will just fall with some of your wall if you're not wise about where you mount it. With that warning, here's what you do: -pick a spot (preferebly on a wall stud, can find a stud by knocking until you find a spot on the wall that does not sound hollow, or just use a stud finder) -screw the big mounting screw into the wall, leave about 1/8" space from the screw head to the wall, it does not have to be flush, the mounting plate will have to slip over this screw (5'-8" from the floor is regulation) -screw the plate into the CENTER of the board -nail in the black rubber guards at 2o'clock, 6o'clock, and 10o'clock positions -now carefully slide the board with the mounting plate onto your mounting screw on the wall -finally play and have fun if you really want to get crazy, I mounted a fluorescent light about a foot above my board, it makes it MUCH more easier to see, and livens it up a bit.

There are two screw types in the package, one for stud mount and one for drywall. I used stud mounts to avoid the larger hole required for the other.

Take out the wall plate screw and this screw goes through into the wall plate screw hole

You have to drill a hole into the center of the plates. The screws go through the plates, and the flat ends hold them in place.

You will have to purchase a drywall mounting bracket separately. If you are cutting in a new hole in the Sheetrock they make brackets specifically for that.

Easily, but I would do it differently. I would screw a small piece of wood at the bottom of where I wanted to mount it above. Then once the strip is resting above that to take any weight off pulling it lower along the wall; I would just use a single plastic tie right below the power switch. This holds it tight to the wall (use one screw in the tie holding the tie to the wall), and if you ever want to remove it you haven't done any damage to anything. Just some Spackle in the drill hole in the wall, and you didn't open the unit itself. I hope my explanation makes sense - it's hard to describe what I am envisioning as a solution.

In the years I've had this I"ve never done that. Since you asked the question and I'm sort-of-fixit person, I looked it over. It should be easy to do. there are three small phillips screws that need to be removed from each plate. The plates should just drop out once removed.
