How can these speakers be attached to rear walls. i've seen wall mounts but It doesn't show the back of these speakers to see how it looks.

I agree with the statement below, I put mine on shelves due to the backfiring bass port hole assuming they had to "breathe", they work great - I'm a cook that they face my cooking space, perfect profile for the space!

The Polk R150 has no wall mounting hardware on the back. These people saying there is a metal bracket on the back must be confusing this with some other model. I took a metal mounting bracket off an old pair of Sony speakers and just screwed it to the back of the R150 cabinet. I'm using these as rear height speakers, so the screw in the wall sticks out about an inch and a half, so these don't sit flush against the wall. They are angled down a bit and the port has some room to push air out.

On the back are the wire connections and a small round "bass port" to give it a little bottom end base response. That said, I don't think you could (or would want to) mount them flush against the wall. I suppose if you found a mount that supported them from the bottom and left a little air gap behind it might work OR put them on a shelf?? They might be a bit large for wall mount. I would look for something slightly smaller for wall mount satellite speakers if available. My Polk's set on top of a large entertainment center from Ikea and point out into the living room. Anyway, hope that helps. Good luck! On the back are the wire connections and a small round "bass port" to give it a little bottom end base response.

There is NO mounting bracket/hardware on the back of the R150. I recently purchased two pairs of these speakers to use as my surrounds and backs in my dedicated home cinema. I used 6-inch steel 'L' brackets (a.k.a. corner braces - the kind you can find in Home Depot's hardware aisle) to mount them to the wall (secured to studs, of course). The 'L' bracket has three holes on each 'leg'. I measured so that I left about a 1" gap between the speaker back and the wall, and I drilled one small hole in the bottom of the speaker and secured the speaker to the 'L' bracket using one short and wide wood screw through the outer-most bracket hole. The speakers are mounted about 24" above ear height when seated, and provide awesome ambient and discrete sound for 7.1 movie soundtracks. A bonus of these speakers is that the drivers are arranged woofer on top and tweeter on bottom - it puts the higher-pitched sounds closer to ear level, though not much of a noticable difference.

Yes there is a metal bracket on the top. I put a screw in the wall for the metal bracket and put self adhesive rubber spacers on the back of the speaker at the bottom to hold the speaker away from the wall a bit. This let the rear firing bass port breathe. I am using them for surrounds in a system with 2 Emotiva subs so intense bass is not really needed. Not that you will get intense bass from a speaker this small anyway. Unless they are your main speakers in the system hanging them on the wall will not affect the sound. If they are your main speakers I would definitely use the spacers.

Their is a metal bracket on the back top edge of the speaker for wall mount.

yes. I bought mounts, but didn't use them. There's a standard hole like in poster frames for just hanging them with a nail in the wall on the back of the speaker.

I don't see how they can be wall mounted. The back of the speaker is curved. They are about 8" deep and weighted more in the front.

the speakers have keyholes on the back, so they can be mounted on a wall. The bottoms are flat, so they can just be set on a tabletop. There are stands available for mounting the rear speakers, or they can also be mounted on a wall

You can mount the rear speakers on the wall if you want to but I have mine on speaker stands.

The rear speakers don't come attached to the stands. You have to attach them yourself. They are attached with screws.

Yes mountable - They have that plastic female "keyhole" mount on the back of the speaker. Can't remember if there was a male part in the shipment. I think the pair would be great for the rears.

If you care about the sound quality and imaging, heck no, you will not even think about wall mounting them. These are not speakers to use if you're cramped for space or want to save space. They aren't super finicky about placement, but as it goes with any bipole/dipole speaker, you need space between it and the rear wall for the best performance.

Hi,I don't think they have any custom bracket option, but I am not sure. You might check out the manufacturer's website and see if they have any mounting accessories. One of the speakers has the amplifier and cooling fins on the back and I do not see any hardware on the backs for attachment to brackets on either speaker. They are a desktop or bookshelf speaker design. They could sit on a shelf or shelves on a wall; not sure if that would be the look you are after, though.-Phil

I was also frustrated that mounting the speakers were not straight forward. I solved the problem by ordering the following mounts from Amazon: VideoSecu 2 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1EH.VideoSecu 2 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1EH (Black, 2 Pack)Good luck

Nope. These can't be wall mounted. Each speaker has 4 drivers, 3 in the front and 1 in the back for larger soundstaging as they are bipolar speakers. They are meant for desktop use only.

...with mounting hardware, at your local hardware store. They don't come with anything fixed to the back of them for that, though. I wouldn't with these. You could, though. It's certainly possible. Just nothing built in to do that on these that I have noticed. I put some small rubber bumpers on the corners of the base and have them on my fireplace mantle with a bluetooth Sony stereo, they're terrific. Very solid, nice speakers.

There are some hang on the wall type brackets on the the speaker. Not very good for mounting, except to hang on flat wall.

They can work as rear in wall surround speakers. In my opinion they are better as front surround. As long as they are in wall they are good. Make sure to insulate around them on the wall.

Yes, you just mount these to either stud or drywall with an anchor. They come with rubber stops you can add on the back to level out the speakers.

They aren't specifically designed to be wall mounted speakers. I'm sure there is a way you could figure it out, but they do not come with a way to easily mount them to a wall. They are meant more as a desktop monitor speaker.

I have them mounted on the side wall, since there isn't a rear wall within a reasonable distance of the listening position. They seem to work fine in this position, and we are hearing rear/side material from them. Good luck.
