How do I mount 20 lb speakers to drywall between studs? I doubt my rock is damaged -- it is new. What happened is when the anchor pokes through it breaks a lot of the rock away, weakening it -- I was probably pushing too hard. You answer sounds excellent. I missed this and already finished the job...still need to mud and paint. I cut a 16"x12" hole from stud-to-stud (centers) and put in 2x4's across the top and then one vertical, down the middle. For the replacement rock I cut it 1/8" smaller to fill in the gaps with mud and when I cut the rock I left paper on the front facing side instead of using tap. Hopefully that will be OK. |

How do I mount 20 lb speakers to drywall between studs? I have 1/2" rock. I first tried plastic toggle anchors and then metal E-Z toggle. The plastic ones wouldn't open and the metal ones would not open or threads would not bite. I think this is partially because this is an outside wall...doh! Also on one anchor the drywall is popping out around it so I am not going to trust my speakers to this. It is time to put timber behind the walls. Any pointers would be appreciated. |

How do I mount 20 lb speakers to drywall between studs? I'll have to check the thickness of the drywall. I added a like to the BT77 product manual and the weight will not be a shear load like the E-Z Anchors recommend. The weight of the bracket is probably about 5 lbs. I'm worried that the top anchor may pull out. Do you have any reference showing that this will be safe? |
