Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion HiFi & HT Chat Making a centre speaker bracket

Hi guys,

Now I have built my wall frame for my new media room I am wanting to make a couple of brackets that will 'stick out' when it's all finished and support my centre speaker (DSP5000C). I have added 2 extra studs for this so the weight of the speaker won't be an issue.

I can use timber or metal and was wondering if anybody here has done this and can advise on their experience? I thought I did see a pic on here a little while ago but do you think I can now find it...no

Although you won't see the brackets/supports when the speaker is on them I want to make them as nice as possible etc.

At this point I am looking towards making up 2 metal brackets that will bolt to the side of the wall studs and have a solid 20-25mm solid bar or maybe 40mm square tubing coming out approx 200mm to support each end of the speaker. I can then get this powder coated etc so it has a good finish.

Either I go for a fixed support bar (welded to the bracket) or a removable bar that slides into a sleeve welded onto the bracket etc.

thanks

Craig
