About What You Expect

About what you would expect from a plastic bracket. The side pieces clip in and stay in. Plenty of mounting hole options. On the negative side, no wire holder so you need to tape and coil your wire. Also just throw the screws in the garbage they just strip out.

Take advantage of an open ceiling when you can!

As part of a kitchen-plus renovation we replaced the whole ceiling to allow for easier electrical & lighting work. I took advantage of this opportunity to extend sound from the adjacent living room into the kitchen & den areas. These brackets made planning a breeze and I can't wait to hear my speakers (in-ceiling MC60s x 4) in the completed space. Each pair comes with ample screws to fasten the tabs to joists/strapping. and there are helpful indentations in the plastic to get a sense of squareness. The circular rim is just deep enough to not interfere with drywall installation, and once in place, this will rest on the drywall to provide additional support. I did a dry-run installation while the ceiling was open, but the unit didn't seem sturdy enough in open space to hold my speakers. I set the rim on the adjacent strapping to get a basic idea of the sound, and then repositioned them slightly, to the center of the square formed by the joists and strapping. At this price point, they may seem a little pricey, but these are built to do one thing very well, and it's worth knowing that I've correctly positioned the speakers for the best sound before the drywall is in. I was able to do all the work un-assisted, which may also be of value to some.

They get the job done. They're over priced and are the only product available for the application. I'd like them to be a bit more sturdy, similar to track mounts for can lights. That being said, they do what they're made to do.

these are great. They were really easy to install between rafters and it was super easy to cut out speaker hole once sheet rock was installed. A must have if you are installing prior to sheet rock.

Just installed them during basement finishing project

So far so good. Bought these to assist with installing the ceiling speakers during the basement finishing project. Drywall is going up today and the guys have used these as a guide. Speaker install is still a few weeks away.

A must for new construction

These are a must if you're dealing with new construction or bare joists. It simplifies wiring location, drywall cutout and installation.

Looks nice gives a good backing so it doesn't crush the sheet rock

Would not have installed without them.

I would not have installed the speakers without these mounting brackets. The speakers have clamps that turn and apply pressure to the rear side of the wall pulling the speaker tight to the outside of the drywall. These brackets stop the speaker clamp from simply crushing the drywall and rendering the wall useless to holding the speaker in firmly. They could mount a little better to the studs before drywall is put in. They stayed in place and the drywall installers knew exactly where to cutout and easily cutout around the mounting brackets with their rotary drywall cutting tool.

Easy way to do ceiling speakers

These are an excellent way to handle ceiling speakers during construction. Very easy to install.

Flimsy, expensive. Somewhat useful.

These brackets are flimsy, they are impossible to get square and keep square as you screw them into the studs. This means the drywall holes will not be totally square either - especially if they use a router which will push the bracket around as they attempt to "outline" the bracket in the drywall. I have not installed the speakers yet, but I am imagining I will have to make the whole square with a drywall knife when it comes time for me to install them. The only reason I bought these was so that I could very easily show the builder where to pull speaker wire to and to have the drywall people router the holes for me. Otherwise I would have to rely on them to measure out and cut speaker locations and I did not want them to mess it up.

Worth the price

These are worth every bit of 50 bucks. Would have taken awhile to fab up and they guarantee the sheetrock guys know where to cut your speaker holes.
