I went to my local hardware store today and they have Grade 8 bolts. Is this the best bolt that their is or is their even stronger ones that are not hard to find or to expensive. I am sure that grade 8 will work for my application, but it is 150 lb over my kids head.

the roof will fall down before a bunch grade 8 bolts will break holding a measly 150lbs

Last night we had a 5.2 earthquake that was centered just a little south of the San Jose area. I was sitting right under my 180 pound Electrohome 8500 that is mounted to the ceiling using unistrut and grade 8 bolts. In all honesty I had no concerns at all about sitting there until the shaking stopped. Design your mounts properly and distribute the load and you will have no problems.

It felt like I had the Bass shakers turned up a little too much.
