THEY SHIT BUT WORKS

To reinstall the two surround back speakers so they can be tilted down I'd rather use a bookshelf speaker mount (which I don't have). ), but couldn't find a mount that tilted down sufficiently. The Echogear speaker wall and ceiling mounts proved to be the best available choice for my speakers. My first problem when I started assembling them was that "Step 1" starts installing the parts that appear in "What's in the Box" as "Attachments" to the main components, with no advice like this parts to be solved. I finally found out by going to steps 3 and 4 and reconstructing their blueprints. The next problem was the quality of the materials; cheap plastic. One of the set screws holding the speaker bracket was knocked out due to cross threads. I had already spent a lot of time with the first speaker so had no intention of returning these brackets for anything else so I just took a chance and got the set screw to secure the speaker a bit. If this connection fails, hopefully attaching the speaker wire to the speaker terminal pins will prevent the speaker from falling to the floor. These mounts are rated for speakers weighing up to 8 pounds. My speakers weigh 5 pounds and even without the use of bracket extensions, the speakers shake everywhere. I also had trouble accessing the set screws after the speakers were partially installed to complete the required angles, the speaker is tilted downwards which is what I wanted but fortunately the bottom of the speaker was pressed against the wall giving a normal angle revealed. The design of these brackets is fine and they would be much better, safer and much easier to install if better quality materials were used and angle adjustment similar to that for headlights could be provided. I gave these mounts 2 stars because the speakers, while not very reliable, are pretty close to what I wanted. the down angled speaker I wanted but luckily the bottom of the speaker was pressed against the wall giving a normal angle.
