Ceiling-mounting the CS1?

greenleg

Has anyone tried to mount a CS1 center channel on the ceiling? I have a DLP and pull-down DaLite screen combo instead of a huge tv, and I'm getting ready to replace a YAMAHA center channel that I've had mounted on the ceiling just above the screen. I'd like to put my new CS1 there, but I'm a little leery of pre-drilling holes in the speaker housing to mount the brackets. Q: Does anyone know anything about the inner workings of the CS1? Am trying to pinpoint the safest place to pre-drill the bracket holes without damaging actual speakers or other important components. Would you put the holes in the flat top of the housing, the slanted part of the top, or in the back?

Thanks.

polk audio lsi, did you change your name to fool us?;)

j/k, why don't you use a shelf, I would never drill any holes in my speakers. First, you will prolly do serious damage, second it voids your warranty.

or you can put the speaker on a center channel speaker stand below the screen. That's the optimal location.
