npt3 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Does anyone have a a tried-and-true 'invisible' shelf mounting method for the Six/CD6 (these would be on sheetrock, but of course would use the available studs if necessary)? I've got stands, but it would be nice to free up the floor space beneath the speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newandold Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 More than necessary...the weight of the cube cannot be supported without the studs if freestanding is the goal. A sheet rock wall is one of the hardest surfaces to accomplish what you’re after. Wood, brick etc. would be different. I had the same problem as you with Sheetrock and needing my 115’s similar in weight in a specific location. I opted for wood support brackets from Home Depot. A combination of hollow wall anchors and hitting the studs in a few locations was more than enough to handle the load. Hard to believe those things have been up there 18 years next month. 2 years ago the woofers came down for a total rebuild. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnathans00 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I actually *do* hang one of my CD-6 speakers, and not into studs. (The second sits on a convector.) I use a pair of Z-Clips on the walls and speakers, secured into the wall using anchors. Note that the clips add 1/4" to 3/8" of depth, so it should be balanced out by rubber bumpers.

With minimal esthetic impact, you could run half or quarter inch wood strips laterally, (just long enough to catch the studs.) Painted to match the wall, the structural integrity would be tenfold.

mpfrank Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I have been using these (or similar) for years to wall mount Allison 6s and 4s. I use plastic anchors in the drywall. https://goo.gl/Dh1FmZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
