Does anyone know of any good wall mounts for a CSI A6. The thing weighs 29lbs, so it must be sturdy. I am about to have one custom made from a machinist shop, but it is obviously more costly than simply ordering one online. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have solid walls, so I simply used heavy duty 2 1/2 inch flat headed screws and left just enough space to slip through the key hole. They worked perfectly and cost me about 3 bucks. I certainly wouldn't recommend this for sheetrock and I'm sure others will chime in with proper wall mounts specifically made for this type of speaker.

    i will be mounting it to the studs, but would still like something sturdy. ia also have a 2 year old, and do not want him pulling that monster down on him.

    I have thought about those, but it says they are king of flimsy in the reviews, and it makes me nervous just having them sitting on there with a two year old in the house. I think I am going to have custom brackets made.

    I've been considering doing this lately as well with my 5. I'd just go to Lowes or any local hardware store, pick up three 12" 'L' shaped brackets, and then cut a piece of plywood, MDF, whatever you have laying around for it. Three may be overkill, I'm sure if you mount them into your studs that two would be enough. Just scuff them up, and paint them to match!

    If you don't want to see the brackets, just screw in a 2 x 4 cut to the proper length crossways into your wall studs. Paint it Black. Then screw 2 Heavy Duty Bolts into this 2 x 4 ...the proper distance apart.....and mount your center to them using the back bracket. You could even put some duct tape on these bolt heads to prevent scratching your speaker bracket. That should hold it just fine....and dosn't cost much. You won't even notice the 2 x 4.

    I use these for my CSi3 center - it ain't flimsy.
