Question about wall mounting (Klipsch WS-24)

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
i just bout a pair of Klipsch WS-24s with the intention of wall mounting them.

how do i get these suckers mounted? do i need a special bracket?

they seem way too heavy to just sit on two screws without those screws going into studs, which i dont think is possible because the holes are spaced about 10.5" apart and studs are 16.





Specs:

on the specifications page under mounting all it says is "dual keyhole brackets" and i cant find anything by that name on google. in fact shopping.google.com returns different Klipsch speakers when you search for "dual keyhole bracket"

They’re only 11 pounds; that’s not all that heavy. Your best bet is to use some EZ-anchors for #10 sheetmetal screws– you can find them at any hardware store. Basically, you drill a small pilot hole in the sheetrock about the size of the pointed shaft, then screw the EZ-anchor into the wall. Make sure the screws you use are the correct length to get close to bottoming out in the Anchor, plus sticking out far enough from the wall to hang the speaker. (Make sure the slot holes on the back of the speakers are big enough for #10; otherwise you’ll have to use #8.)

It would be best to sink one of the sheetrock screws into a stud, and use the EZ anchor for the second. If you can’t do that, it’s no big deal – eleven pounds on two EZ anchors is no problem.
