I ordered 3 black M22's with wall brackets and speaker wire this morning. That makes a total of 5 black M22's and 1 black in-cabinet VP160. I'll have my better wall of sound with 65 inch Tv some day soon.

I'm thinking of using a 1x4, with sanded edges, primed and painted the same color as the wall, that's as wide as the TV. Mount this board to the wall above the TV, them mount the 3 speakers to this board, with wires disappearing into the wall behind the speakers. May do similar for the 2 M22's below the TV on 2 smaller boards. This would also give me a little more wiggle room to aim the speakers toward the listening position.

Should I get a particular type of wood for this that would hold screws more securely under stress that other wood?
