View Full Version : Ceiling mounted speakers
Avalanche

Bought a new home which is prewired for 5.1 surround sound. The problem I have is that I currently have wall mount satellite speakers which I am not if I want to mount them on the ceiling or if work properly mounted on the ceiling. So I am looking for a good not so pricey ceiling mount speakers to replace the wall mounts.
Note all 5 speakers are prewired in the ceiling and the sub in the front left hand side of the room. (facing the TV)
Any suggestions?

Avalanche,
I used the following speaker mount for a ceiling installation. I choose this one because it came down from the ceiling about 6 inches which gave plenty of clerance to angle my speaker properly.

I also have sorround sound thru out my entire house and even outside.
I show off my house to customers and install speakers to customers for fun.
I have used these mounts before and they pay off and are well made and strong with purchased HILTI screws.

Thank you very much. Those will be perfect. I like that idea much better than buying new speakers.
Again thank you Striker777 and TazDevil.
