Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Mounting QS8s with drywall anchors?

When I use toggle bolts I push a fender washer through the wall (small slit) to spread the load.

Cool well I guess that answers my questions thanks for the good info guys!

Just double checked the Q's. They have been up for about 4 months now, and there are no signs of movement or loosening. Again, I used the plastic auger anchors, and there were no studs available. (No jokes Peter!) Unless you have kids or cats that will hang on them, you should be fine.

You know, I hear male pigs have auger-like ... oh, never mind.

Oops!

I use the 30 pound engineered plastic (company description!) EZ Anchor to hold my QS8s onto the 5/8" drywall in our music/TV room and also had them mounted in the old listening area with the same anchors.

Whenever I mounted the old center channel shelf onto the the interior wall of the exterior concrete block constructed wall with these same anchors in the old listening area I snipped them a little short and drilled a larger diameter pilot hole so the anchors would not bottom out on the concrete block due to the narrow 3/4" space between the drywall and concrete block wall.

I believe they will darn near hold anything onto the wall and they are extremely easy to install.

Hi Peter,

Much amused by the link. I'd heard about this in my youth from some of my rural school-mates, but never in detail.

Regards,

Another vote here for the E-Z Anchors; remember that the rating is for pullout force of a single fastener. The shear rating would be quite a bit higher, and by the time you put 4 of them into a T-Bracket, they're not going anywhere. I've had my QS8's mounted this way for a couple years with no sign of trouble.

You might want to adjust your crossover then Tom. lol
