bill p,
As the FMB is cast alum held together with threaded bolts, I always felt that it could be used like this.
I am stuck on the fence about getting sturdy little bracket of Full Metal Bracket.. Obviously this is after the fact....but installation in reverse order would certainly put more strain on that screw. In this case who knows if that made difference considering the lenght of time it held that cc in place.

Wow, Alan I was right about pulling the insert through the MDF.

billy p,
When I spoke to the guys at Axiom, their main concern was the load placed on the bolt that combines the bracket attached to the back of the speaker to the mount itself (step 5 in FMB instructions).
I can't see how the threaded insert to mount connection is under more stress if you use the mount in reverse. I may have to order two FMB and a set of Sturdy Little Brackets to see what works best (unless an Axiom pro can add anything to this thread).

the mount can be used either way, Axiom's own picturesnshow it both ways.
The mount did indeed hold the speaker for all the time. So if it was overtightened, it took quite some time before falling
Alan I appreciate the info, one of your staff -brent emailed me today. Sadly my job consumed the entire day and I could not respond.
I have to rethink my setup, no center channel is going back on top, but it sounds miserable below. I wonder if the 180 would better, but first I need to fix screen.

Regarding overtightening of the mount-to-speaker bolt- when I mounted my qs8's with the FMB's, the speaker kept wanting to rotate in relation to the mount and I found myself torquing that bolt more than I would have liked in order to get the speaker to stay put. I hereby suggest some "teeth" or friction surface of some kind where the mount mates with the speaker. Perhaps a rubber pad. I feel that would give a more secure (feeling at least) connection with less torque on that bolt.

Newf,
I looked for this on the Axiom site but am unable to find. Can you URL me?
