When tilted by 7 degrees in the front to face down, how are these speakers being held tight in their position from sliding out? I read notes about screws underneath but I'm afraid that would void the warranty on the speakers. I noticed that my speakers...

The bottom is clamped on the sides which have a soft, non-marring surface. I was worried too. However, my speakers have not moved a mm in almost 18 months. I did not use screws underneath because I made my speakers and the crossovers were on the bottom. I have not had an issue with them and am quite pleased with the mounts.

Remember to screw in to an 2x4? Its heavy and try to put a bit of foam or something to take the vibration of from going into the wall? Also center speakers are made to b put in front of th listener's or angle ur speaker down ? This is very important ! And vrak in the speaker for 40-50 hrs of mid high volume? Face the speaker 1 inch from the wall and turn it up for a while. This speaker sucks until u brake the 8 inch speakers in? This is important! !!!! Have fun ,and enjoy !!!!�

I mounted mine under the room ledge and they sound great. I mounted them vertically and the bass reflects off the overhang. Great outdoor speakers with really good sound. I have one each on the corners and 2 round ceiling speakers centered on the lanai. They work great together

pending on the size of the speakers you have installed in the brackets, there is rubber fitted into the bracket and two screws to tighten the bracket (besides the ones that they intend for you to screw into the speaker). Lighter speakers should be no problem with out the screws into the speaker. I you wanted to, you could drill two holes into the side bracket riser and run a wire or string through them around the front of the speaker to hold it in place. I was limited on the angle I could go down at the speakers I had were deep, Polk monitor 40's. Hope this helps

you place your speakers on top and they help keep the vibrations from distorting the sound. they actually point the speaker either straight forward or down, depending on how you have the foam insert. technically, if you placed them on it backwards they would face more up, but they may not be as sturdy.

I did not mount my my speakers. There was an existing ledge. You will probably have to drill some small holes and put some screws in them. The big bass speaker is to heavy to mount.

Hi Bill, by the look and dimension specs on your speakers, the mounts should be compatible with your speakers. Depending on the degree on which you want to hide your wires ( you have AC,inputs,and a crossover to the other speaker wires ), you will have to add a wire "loom", and some cable ties. I'm not using any gripping material on the side grips, as my speakers are mounted near ear level, and have only a slight downward tilt...it does hold the speakers quite firmly. It should handle the weight quite easily, as long as you mount them to the wall firmly.

mine have been flush mounted in a small 12x12 spare bedroom on the back wall used for 7.2 surround sound. But I'm thinking about angling them down. my couch is directly along the back wall so the speakers are directly above the couch. I don't really get too much sound from them so I'm thinking about angling them down. Hope this helps

It really depends on what angle you point the speakers. Mine are mounted near the ceiling so I have my pointed downward at a pretty steep angle. I measured the distance and the bottom part of the speaker is about an inch away from the wall while the top is 4 inches away.

Like others have said, it's kind of awkward when putting them on their side. You could potentially use some rubber feet toward the front, and if put in the exact right spot, you could balance the speaker on those and where the middle curves out furthest (if that makes any sense). Ideally though, you want them upright.

4----the speaker cover snaps on so you don't see the mounting screws, I hope you are using these in pairs, these are great speakers I have 2 pair mounted in the ceiling of my game room in my man cave.

These are flush mount speakers as delivered. Unless your ceiling at the point of installation is sloped or you can build a mounting box that can position speakers you will need to find another type. We have not found it to be a problem with the flush mount.

Good Afternoon, to answer your question I would say that these are the BEST bookshelf speaker mounts for the money at the time, 25.00! for the pair. What a STEAL! after fixing my problem I had with them these turned out to be a gem!! They turn an easy 180 from side to side and also have a nice up and down tilt as well, I have my Polk RTI A1 speakers mounted on these which are quite large and these do the job well! I use blue tack to hold the speakers down just incase they don't lift or at an angle the tack holds the speakers down in their place. Good luck! I'm here if you have anymore questions. Randy

Any suggestions for using the stands for the back (surround) speakers. The mounting setup is for the front speakers only. I'm thinking heavy duty velcro.

the foam is cut horizontaly at an angle so you can pick what direction you want them to face. I have them pointing up from a desk. You do this by turning the foam backwards so the retaining lip is at the rear. Then I just cut it to the depth of the speaker

It could be left a little loose to allow flexible swivel on the fly. I have them tightened fully since I don't want them to be moved, but I can't think of any reason they couldn't be left a little looser. However, do note that the angling downward of them will also be slightly adjustable/loose, since that bolt holds both positions in place; there's probably a "sweet spot" tighteness that you could find, though (also, if you are angling them the maximum amount downward like myself, the loose angle adjustment wouldn't really be a concern). One note/suggestion; if you plan on angling your speakers downward and they are of significant size, I'd go ahead and use the mounting screws included. I was hesitant to screw into the walls of the speaker, but they will very slowly slip out of their seat if you don't fasten them to the mount in some fashion (eventually falling out). I luckily caught mine slipping out before falling out and went ahead and used the screws. If you're keeping them mounted fairly level, the clamp and pads should easily suffice, as you can tighten the clamp/seat very tightly around the sides of the base of the speaker.

there isn't any place to mount them unless you put a bracket on the back but if they are against the wall the port will be blocked best suggestion would be to make a shelf for them with an inch or two open behind them. these are awesome sounding speakers by the way.
