Features

Application: The Bose WB-3 wall brackets are custom-designed for Bose 201 and 301 Series IV and V speakers only. Four interlocking metal brackets are provided--two for each speaker. Mounting hardware is supplied. The speakers can be mounted to wood studs, wooden or masonry walls, or drywall. The speakers hang approximately 1/2" from wall when mounted.

Mounting Preparations:

  • Speakers: Before the speakers can be mounted, a bracket must first be fastened to each speaker. This requires drilling two pilot holes into the back of the speaker cabinet using the supplied 1/16" drill bit. One of the self-adhesive rubber bumpers must also be attached to each speaker.
  • Wall: Once the speaker mounting locations have been selected, you must fasten one bracket per speaker to the wall using either the supplied wood screws or toggle bolts. Two pilot holes should be drilled for each speaker bracket. If you are using the wood screws, a 1/4" drill bit should be used in order to insert the supplied plastic expansion wall anchors. If you are using the toggle bolts, a 1/2" drill bit should be used to allow the toggle to be inserted completely through the drywall.

Dimensions:

  • Mounting Bracket: Width=5.009", Height=1.606", Depth=0.468"
  • Screw Pattern:
    • Width: 4" using outer screw holes
    • Height: 0.5" using center screws (only when mounting to vertical wall stud)

Very tidy

Written By Mark R, Clinton TN. on Thursday, February 28, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Very small brackets that are made well and hold the speakers exactly how you need them,I was sckeptical at first because the 301s say to have them a certain distance from the wall but they didnt change the sound too much actually i kinda like the sound now as compared to 12" off the wall.
Pros:
Easy
Cons:
other than the screw set i used a different type of hollow wall anchor

Bose® WB-3 brackets

Written By bill c., bellmawr,nj. on Thursday, February 03, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Very easy to install. Ends up being pretty sturdy if mounted to the wall correctly(comes
with all of the hardware to do so). I'd recommend placing the rubber bumper slightly off-
center to easily allow the speaker wire to hang straight down towards amp/receiver.
Took me about 10 minutes to install, and i took my time. Can probably be used to hang
almost any flat-back bookshelf speaker.

Compact Design

Written By david, Murfreesboro, TN on Saturday, December 20, 2008
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I used these to mount some Sony bookshelf speakers to the wall for my surround setup. you secure one of these to the wall, the other to the speaker, and put an included rubber stopper lower down the back side of the speaker and it mounts flatly and securely just 1/2" off of the wall.

I really like these as I didn't want those enormous arm-like mounts hanging off of my wall.

Nice speaker wall mount kit

Written By Bill, Roanoke, VA on Saturday, September 06, 2008
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Nice product. I actually used it on a set of Yamaha bookshelf speakers for
my rear surrounds. Worked great. Does require drilling of your speakers.
