rt55is on wall

[jack7777]

I am going to mount a set of rt55is on the wall. I have 7ft. a celling and using a BT-77 mount(unless somebody has a better one). How far up on the wall can I put them? I would like 2 mount up as high as I can and tit the mount down, Tilts down 7° or up 7°. Where is the best place for them? Thanks jack

I was going to try, Btech make a mount that will hold 55 pounds. The 55i's are only 35. So I think as long as I am dead center on a stud, it should not be a problem.? jack

Now your talkin'...dead center on a stud should work.

And use long screws. I don't know how thick the mounting plate for the speaker hanger you plan on using is. But add that to 1/2" for the drywall and figure the stud is 3 1/2" thick. FWIW, I wouldn't use anything less than 3'" screws.

.....and not drywall screws either....the shank is thin and brittle.

I used a 1/4 lag screw 3 1/2 in. long, into a stud to mount fx 1000s.

Lag screws are very strong ....most people get into trouble by simply not knowing how to hit the stud.
