How do I get bass braces?

Does anyone know where I can get a set of bass braces? I recently acquired some SRS 2.3TLs and would like to secure them to the wall to ensure without a doubt they could never tip. My wife runs a daycare, so safety is paramount. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It’s possible a forum member has a pair of the old original threaded rods and brackets in the back of a closet unused but if anti tip is the goal a simple set of earthquake proofing furniture straps would work.

    I wish I could “agree” AND “lol” this one…

    I still have mine but they are buried in a box somewhere.

    All they are is a piece of threaded rod about a foot long and one of these "ceiling flange" things (pictured below). I am not sure what the thread size is, but I think it is 3/8".

    You remove the bolt from the threads in the back of the speaker and screw the rod into it. The "ceiling flange" screws onto the wall end of the threaded rod just enough to be about flush. Then you screw the flange to the wall surface. Any excess threaded rod stays hidden inside the speaker as you adjust it to the proper length.

    The Bass Brace isn't a good solution. That skinny all thread rod and wall bracket have serious structural integrity issues. Emlyn's suggestion is much better.

    That said, there's no way I'd have speakers anywhere close to little monsters.

    Didn't realize bass had teeth or that there's a market to straighten them. I guess if it's a trophy bass, it's money well spent.😉
