Hi! New Member, great site! Could use help

robcrotzer

Hi I'm a new member, long time (10yrs) polk user. I still use my RT35s (front) and RT15's (rear) for surround sound. Question, in my previous house I simply used the "nail hole" on the back of the RT15's to mount them. Now I have a house and a room where I cannot mount them on the side wall. 2 things: is there a cieling or wall bracket for mounting Rt15's? and are they bidirectional if I put them above and behind me?

Thanks! Look forward to exploring the site!

Many people use the B-Tech BT77 speaker brackets because they clamp onto the speaker so you don't have to drive screws into the cabinets.

Thanks! I've seen those, though that might be my only option....other brackets as you said I was worried about **** into the cabinets wasn't sure how deep I could go? How bout the 4 holes that are on the back of my rt15's and 35's? were they for a mount in the past or soemthing else?

My guess is that the holes are for the Power Port:

But why is it removed is the question.

robcrotzer

nope port is intact lol!:) There are 4 additional holes below the power port (recesses I guess would be better description), don't appear to be threaded unless it's deep....

OK, you scared me there for a minute. I honestly don't know then. I'm sure one of the RT owners will chime in shortly though.

This is from the RT15i product page though:

"Mounting Options Wall mounts with integrated key-hole slots. Accepts Omnimount fully articulating bracket"

I have owned both of those speakers and I do not recall any extra 4 holes in the 15's.

Yeah, that's a good way to catch a disease.

Rob: maybe you can post a picture of the back of the speakers to help up get an idea.

+1 for the Btech 77. Nice mounts and will allow you to aim down to the listening position.
