Hello @avinash,

Unless you make a box and affix the box to the wall, that would be the only way to do that. The in-wall speakers clamp down to dry-wall or you could use plywood to clamp it to.

Let us know if you have more questions.

Bad idea , get on wall models.

Just curious, Avin, but do you have a true brick wall or a brick veneer wall ?

Nice choice in speakers, btw. As far as building a box to afix them to, I think other factors would seem to come into play: open or sealed, volume of box, etc.

Mr. T (Treitz) had a nice in-wall speaker set up from what I understand. I think his were mounted in drywall though, so he may not have 'hands on' experience with brick.

Gut feeling is that I think Mantis may be correct.
If, for whatever reason, it becomes necessary to move them then it can quickly turn into a "big deal".
