Tile Bridges for RC80i?

I have a pair of RC80i speakers I need to mount in a suspended ceiling. I have heard of tile bridges, but it seems the ones I have found are for a specific speaker (not what I have). I've found ones by Lowell, Atlas Sound and Bogen, but they seem like they are for specific speakers. Are there any suggestions on what I can use or where I could look?


Thanks.

    Do you mean for extra support due to the weight of the speaker? They weigh less than 5lbs each and on standard 12x12/14x14 you should be fine. I would just use some leftover T channel and make my own crossbars.

    I guess I could. I know 5lbs isn't much, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I even thought of using plywood, but it would be much easier if I could just get a couple of prefabbed brackets.

    A bracket with a 10" cutout should work for that loudspeaker if that's what you want to do. The actual cutout for the Polk is 9 3/8" and the cam locks rotate out.

    Do you know of any particular place to buy these brackets?
