Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. I used these before the drywall went up. They are just ok...very flimsy, and the screws that come with them to attach to the wood studs are awful. Use drywall screws or buy some wood screws to attach to studs. Was this review helpful?

Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. You'll spend more time installing and adjusting these brackets than the actual speakers. For the price, you get some molded plastic, which seem to be relatively low cost to produce. When installing the machine screws that hold the brackets together, strip and loosen easily, then when you screw in the drywall style screws to the studs, the bracket gets pulled out of level or square, as the screw drifts in the wood. The screws that came with it, will break off w/ minimal torque, so discard those and use drywall screws. If the whole bracket and side wings were molded one piece, it would be better. I liked the PB85 style better. Installing the bracket before drywall will cause you to have to cut and line up the drywall hole precisely with the bracket, but if you skip the bracket and cut the hole in the drywall later, then the hole position is less critical. I also installed a pair of RC65i without brackets in existing drywall, and cut the hole in the same amount of time as installing brackets elsewhere. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
