Mounting FX3's questions.....

[smitchell24]

Hi, I have 2 Fxi30's that I would like to use as side surrounds & than 2 towers next to each other, as rear surrounds, so the setup would look more like this:

But my so called HT is in the basement & I have 2 basement poles on each side where I would like to mount the Fx3's. Is there any device or mounting brackets I can use to place them basically on the poles?

I currently have the 2 Fxi30's mounted on the backwall & the 2 towers next to the 2 poles, so my current setup is the reverse of the THX recomendation.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm assuming, like the poles in my basement, that there's not going to be a prctical way to drill a hole in them. At the shop where I work we've got various things mounted to the 6" diameter poles that support the ceiling with huge hose clamps. They're very secure, but you'd still need something to hold the speakers with. How do you have the speakers mounted to your back walls?

Thanks for the reply....

The speakers are currently mounted on the backwall just with screws drilled into the well. Thought maybe there would be a clamp or something I could wrap around the polls with a screw or something sticking out that I could hang the FXi30's from.

Sounds like you're in the same boat I am. I have L/S f/x's that I'm going to use in my HT when I re-do my basement. I'll need to mount the one side to a pole, too. I've been looking for a bit and, so far, that's the best I've come up with. Which admittedly isn't that good. If I figure anything better out I will post my solution.
