Mounting Monitor 30 horizontal?

nyknicks8

I want to mount my monitor 30s as surrounds, but in the horizontal position. Can I remove the mount on the back of the 30s and screw it on the horizontal length? If I can do that I want to buy the omnimount 10 or 20 so I can mount it on near the ceiling.

My second question is how strong are these ball and socket mounts? People will be walking under the speaker, so I don't want it to fall?

Feel free to add any other suggestions. [I have a recessed roof that is about 6", so horizontal mounting hides most of the speaker in case you're wondering].

Thanks.

I cannot do that because the height of the recess on the ceiling is only 6 inches, so if I mount it vertically, it will stick out a good 4.5 inches. But if I mount it horizontally, it will not stick out that much. So can I screw the bracket to the other side to mount it horizontally?

I took out the woofer to inspect the internals to move the bracket. The crossover components are contained in the same area as the speaker connections so you can relocate the mounting bracket anywhere on the back side. Just make sure that you find the balance point or the speaker will tilt. On a side note, I never would have thought mounting a speaker on it's side would make a difference but it really does. Mine sounded much worse mounted horizontaly and I wound up mounting them upright again. I also noticed that toeing them in made it sound worse than pointing them straight ahead. It may just be my room but it really made a drastic change.
