Has anyone used a drop ceiling bracket with this speaker? If yes, what bracket did you use?

This speaker does not come with any brackets. As a matter of fact, this speaker is meant for recessed mount. You will need to cut the hole on the sheetrock ceiling or tile ceiling by using the template that come with it. Once the hole is cut, the speaker will fit right in. You just turn the screwa on the gears around the speaker. If you intend to have a drop down speaker box. This speaker is not for you unless you customize a box to put the speaker inside to make it a speaker box. Hope that help.

Hi. I want to build a shelf that falls down. Not one that gets pulled up. Would it in your opinion make sense to use these brackets? They would be on the two sides of the surface I will be using. Thanks for any reply on that!

Yes. We mounted ours in the ceiling. Be sure you have them hooked up correctly (run a speaker test) before you finish installation. They are a pain to take back down if you have to make a fix.

They don't have separate brackets, but they do have slots that allow for mounting over a screw heads that stick out. They are located on the angled part of the back of the speaker so they would be mounted at an angle rather than perpendicular on a vertical wall, however they can be mounted to a corner ceiling and be aiming downward.

I don't now if the original question is the same as mine but I'll throw in my question...have a couple old rectangle shaped Infinity speakers that are mounted up in the corners near the ceiling. They're on mounts that have a 4 way pivot so I can point them right into the middle of the room where the listener will be most of the time. The Bose 161 has a 2 way pivot mount so I can either do up and down or side to side depending on which direction I mount it. What's the best way to mount this speaker for the best sound in the middle of the room?

No. I was able to mount those right out of the box. I used those as ceiling speakers at a commercial place.

I had 2 of my speakers installed in the ceiling for my surround sound and they work great. Ours just come straight down and we had them professionally installed and didn't know to ask if the drivers could be adjusted.

I have the larger 8" version of the. I simply used the "u" shaped bracket that the manufacturer offers and attached with anchors that are appropriate for the wall you are hanging them on. I hung mine on brick in a horizontal position (speakers side by side instead of one above the other).

Yes they come with mounting brackets you screw into the ceiling then mount the speaker.

If a small shelf would be good enough, then these brackets are way too big anyway. I'm no audiofile, and don't know much about speakers, but don't they have screw-holes in the back for mounting? I'd find screws (probably machine screws) that match those sockets, go to Best Buy or some equivalent and tell them what you're trying to do. I'm sure they have brackets that will be perfect for you needs.

I never used the brackets they are still in the box and I cant find them was a couple years ago when I bought them They are long enough if I remember correctly to give clearance you don't want the speakers to far from the ceiling surface any way they use the ceiling as a reflector that why these speakers give such a great sound

Personally, I simply bought little square shelves and strong brackets at Lowe's and mounted them to my walls (in the beams, not just drywall....I'm not stupid). As long as the brackets are centered and strong enough, they work fine. The shelves I bought actually fit the speakers perfectly, allowing me to angle the front ones. The side speakers fit with a little bit of room on each side so the shelf is just about as wide as the speaker, so it fits nice. The shelves I bought weren't for the brackets I bought, but you can drill a couple of holes in them and make 'em fit. :)

What I did was just mount directly to the speaker placing the bracket over the keyhole mount. The added movement capabilities were worth it. Being able to aim the speakers where I want them is great. If you just want fixed placement,just use the keyhole. Hope this helps

If you would like to mount a small receiver for speakers then I would look at other mounting options specifically made for such purposes. Using the Hyloft ceiling storage kit would be overkill. Whether you like the look, would depend on your space. These look good in the garage; I would not, e.g. put them in my living or family rooms.

I hooked this up for a friend who had a display table for his flat screen. So the left and right laid on the table, and the center was placed right in front. Then for the rear, we bought two simple stands and ran the wires up the center pole of the stands. Keep in mind, use Velcro on the base of the rear speakers and the stands, in case someone "bumps" into them. If you are wall mounting, then this is the site for the speaker mounts....http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Deluxe-Speaker-Brackets-Ceilings/dp/B001QNBUA4/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_y

ye )s the speakers can be mounted in the ceiling as long as you put them in between the beams or wood studs. They also have a directional tweeter that can be aimed at the sweet spot (the main spot people sit in). the speakers sound greatand look very awesome in the wall. Make sure you get some good speaker wire. I used 12 gauge wire to ensure no loss insound quality

Yes, these can be mounted "upside down" - with the longest section of the mounting plate pointing down. The holes are normal holes, not keyhole. I doubt you were considering "hanging" your speaker from the bracket, which I would not recommend. So yes, the "shelf" part of the bracket can be assembled so that your speaker sits atop the bracket.Assembling and mounting "upside down" would likely reduce the weight capacity some so I would keep this in mind.
