Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Speaking of mounting center channels with FMB...

OK, this is different than the usual "How do I mount to drywall?" (saw your post Samson) or "Where do I mount my VP1XX?"

Anyway, I have a nice stud that I will be mounting my VP150 to, and I have the FMB from Axiom, but my question is, do I just use the single bolt on the back of the VP150 to hang it on to the FMB? I've seen pictures that show using screws to attach to the center channel, but I would have to screw into the VP150 if I don't have to, but at the same time, I want to make sure that if I use the single bolt that is on the back of the VP150, that it holds nice and strong and my VP150 isn't going to fall 7 feet to the floor...

Ideas?

My understanding is that you use the single bolt.

Thanks FordPrefect, but I am still nervious. ANyone here that has actually used the FMB with a VP150 have anything to say about this?

I used the FMB on the VP150 and have it mounted on a wall about 8' off of the floor, has been up there for about 3 weeks and has not been a problem. I would suggest using longer screws that supplied with the FMB. Tomorrow the M80 arrives to replace the VP150 so it will be coming down.

Longer screws to mount the FMB, as for the single screw for attaching the VP150, I used the single screw and it has worked fine. Sorry for the confussion, just in from working on a building a new entertainment center, and guess my mind is else where. ;-)

Are you going to mount the M80 on the wall? :-) EXTRA longs scews for the puppy!

Mine is mounted into a cedar plank, screwed into either stud, that's just how it ended up.

Works wonders

This makes it a bit easier.

LOL......no, the M80 will be in the new entertainment cabinet I'm building, on a sliding shelf so it can be pulled out if I'm not happy with the sound from it when in the cabinet. After having the M80's for front/rear channles for a few weeks, tried using one for the center channel over the weekend. That was a mistake <g>, so trying to get the new cabinet completed by tomorrow, if not, the M80 will just sit on the floor and kinda block some of the equipment from responding to the remote. LOL

Glad you clarified about your post earlier about usig longer screws. I know that I am going to use longer screws to attach the FMB to the stud, but I was looking for input on connecting the VP150 to the FMB: Use the single bolt on the back of the VP150, or add screws. You helped by saying that you are just using the single bolt...

Thanks!
