It says in the manual when you are wall mounting into drywall (not a stud) that you should "always use two wall anchors and two screws per speaker." But, there is only 1 keyhole slot on the back of the speaker. So where does the second screw go? What am I missing???
Emotiva LMC pre/pro
Emotiva LPA amp
Fronts LSI15
Center LSIC
Rears LSI7s
Dual MFW-15s

    I used a pair of these with my LSi7's. The bass sounded boomy to me when hooked up with the keyhole slot on the back.

    Sorry - no good answer about the dual screws. Personally I would not wall mount them with a single screw unless it was into a stud though.... Hope you find a good solution.

    +1 to Michael's recommendation (bought mine from a local polkie). Sorry, no idea where you would put a second screw on the back of the 7's.

    You can mount them single screw allday. use High quality dryall anchors and your fine. Use # 8's or #10's. They sound fantastic. Run then in small cut at 60 or 80hz and away you go. No stud is requuired.
