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

no, mine had the wings like the add-on electrical boxes. Maybe don't cut the wall too close to the studs. Its been a few years and stuff changes so .....

All the hardware for mounting these speakers onto a drywall (plasterboard) are included in the box. No other brackets are required.

I think that they would work out fine. I use the stands for onkyo speakers that seem similar in size to the polks and they are perfect. But as always ymmv, good luck.

The speakers actually come with mounting brackets already attached to them and some additional hardware that would make it easy to mount them to the wall. I personally wouldn't drill the speaker enclosures--the finish is much too beautiful. But you won't need to drill into them.

I have to agree with Hector, I think these mounts would be overkill for your speakers. They are way more "heavy duty" than they appear on the website.

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.

No. I was able to mount those right out of the box. I used those as ceiling speakers at a commercial place.

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.

It appears that the brackets will only attach to the back of speakers. I do not recall receiving any auxiliary brackets in the assembly packet, and I did not have parts left over after assembly other than some extra screws.

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

I would. I ended up mounting the speakers to my windshield mounting brackets. I was a little upset with the directions and hardware that was provided.

Hi,I don't think they have any custom bracket option, but I am not sure. You might check out the manufacturer's website and see if they have any mounting accessories. One of the speakers has the amplifier and cooling fins on the back and I do not see any hardware on the backs for attachment to brackets on either speaker. They are a desktop or bookshelf speaker design. They could sit on a shelf or shelves on a wall; not sure if that would be the look you are after, though.-Phil

If you are thinking those metal clips that slide on body work or trim and then you screw through- then, no, they don't. But the variety of screw holes that match your existing mounts are plentiful. Matched my 01 Insight easily...and Polk did supply new screws with the speakers. BTW, they still sound great.

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.

No provision. Space them as you would normal speakers. I had mine installed where I wanted them and the installer said the same thing. The audio just carries into more dead areas.Dennis

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

The Polk R150 has no wall mounting hardware on the back. These people saying there is a metal bracket on the back must be confusing this with some other model. I took a metal mounting bracket off an old pair of Sony speakers and just screwed it to the back of the R150 cabinet. I'm using these as rear height speakers, so the screw in the wall sticks out about an inch and a half, so these don't sit flush against the wall. They are angled down a bit and the port has some room to push air out.

I am not familiar with the Polk bookshelf speaker's mounting options. Do they have a screw mount.....like a camera to a tripod?
