I don't understand why you couldn't install them lower so they can be upright.

I didn't want to mount on the siding. I can build a support to rotate them if I decide to turn them upright.

Actually it's a bit easier if you separate the FMB at the side to side movement section. Now you can just screw the wall side where you want it. Mount the other side to the speaker. Wire it on the latter (just as you said) and then slide the peices together. Gravity will hold it there no fuss (even if the mount is pointing only slightly up) while you screw it back together. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/phv06xdS/IMG-6289.jpg) I'm still waiting for the video...

I suggest modifying (5) to add, "... into the speaker, using a drip loop". (Credit to Mojo, who suggested it for me when I put my M22's on the porch.)

I credit one of my mentors, Peter Wagner, Chief Engineer, who introduced me to drip loops and physically showed me how they work with the help of a Phillipina factory Lead Hand named Lulu. Decades later, I honored Lulu by naming my blue '79 Chevy van after her - bLulu.
So Cork, show off your drip loops and share that story far and wide.
