I'm finishing up putting together a set of Volt-8s and I'm trying to decide how I want to get them wall mounted. I had thought about just putting some sort of picture frame type hook on the back, but realized that these things are pretty heavy, and there is probably a better choice out there. So, anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks!

French cleats are a good way to go. Home depot sells a few different sets called "hangman". This set has rails that are just over 7" long and will hold 60 pounds (if secured properly, obviously).

Ahh, I like it. That's the same concept I used to mount my screen (2 strips of wood with 45 degree cut on the edge). Thanks!

So with the french cleats, would there be any issues with vibration? Would I need to add any felt on the inside?

I used the french hangman cleats from parts express for my V10's. Same concept, but they did come with rubber pads to put on the bottom corners of the speakers to keep the cab off the wall. I'm sure you can get those pads at any WalMart/HomeDepot. They were the size of a pea and self adhesive. I've had no vibration issues.

Wal-mart and Menards both carries the Hangman Speaker kit like found at Parts Express. Home Depot and Lowes carry the Hangman picture kits. The speaker kits includes everything needed for a pair of speakers while the picture kits need to be purchased in multiples and don't include the vibration pads.

Also you can find similar online with a search for z-clips, z-hanger and of course french cleat.
