How are these mounted? Do you need a receiver up front?

For my bumper no receiver was needed due to prefab brackets installed on front and rear.

I have tabs welded to the bumper and these just mount right to the tabs. They work great. just make sure you have a drill big and bad enough to make the 3/4 inch hole in the 1 inch tab. We used a cutting torch and cleaned it up with a step drill and a grinder.

I fabricated a bracket that I mounted to my frame. You don't necessarily need a front receiver but it's a lot easier.

Wherever you want them to, stretched out for best reception. I coiled the ends around the mount for my television which also is part of the receiver platform. You can tape them to the wall behind your receiver if you want or just stretch them out and let them hang. Obviously the more they are extended the better the reception. I did not stretch mine too much because I wanted it concealed and it works great.

Thanks for your email. Yes you can mount your speakers horizontally. You have to drill into the back and there are plates to wall mount. I mounted a set of mid speakers that way. I don't see an issue with it.

There are brackets mounted on the back of each speaker. Hang them with wall anchors like you would a heavy picture. Hope this helps.

I just installed a pair SP-BS22-LR speakers on these mounts, and they work great. I used the side clamps with the included stick on cushions, and used the small speaker screws in the kit for the rear bottom of the speaker (Yes, that would void the speaker's warranty, but the screw is not very long at all), just to make sure they were not going anywhere. Very solid mounts. I too have them pointing down, as I am using them as rear surround speakers.

Original design intention was to be installed on the side of the receiver. It will install very easily this way. You would have to modify your stock if you wanted to install differently.

You do need a receiver. I went with a Sony receiver. They are well priced and are good quality. These speakers not being wireless sort of ages this system now. Might want to keep that in mind. There are good all in one (receiver included) surround systems out there now. Do your homework.

If you would like to mount a small receiver for speakers then I would look at other mounting options specifically made for such purposes. Using the Hyloft ceiling storage kit would be overkill. Whether you like the look, would depend on your space. These look good in the garage; I would not, e.g. put them in my living or family rooms.

This system comes with all the necessary wires to get these speakers wired up to a receiver. However, if you do not have a receiver, then you'll have to look into a 7.1 receiver (if you're trying to keep it cheap, you can probably get a matching Onkyo receiver, if you're willing to pay a little more I'd go Sony). Also, if you want to mount the surround speakers on a wall, you'll need hardware. They come equipped with keyhole brackets so I just bought some sturdy drywall screws from the hardware store and those have held up fine for about a year.

You need a receiver or sound bar with optical in. Otherwise you can't. Unless you mean physically, in which case you could hang them from the wall mount.

Thanks for your question. You will need a receiver for these. It is a wonderful sounding speaker system.

They come mounted and aired up. I would still recommend double checking the pressure either way to be safe. Simple and easy installation. Just bolt them on.

There wasn't a "mounting system" that came with mine. They do have a recessed mounting hole on the back that will allow you to hang them flush on the wall. Hanging mine on the wall behind our sofa made them fairly unobtrusive.

I hung mine from the ceiling using omni mount 10.0's. Sturdy mount and easy to adjust the aim or position of the speakers and lock them in place. If you want speaker stands, anything with a platform large enough for the speakers to fit on should be just fine.

Ultimately they should be mounted slightly behind the listening position At ear level (for a 5.2 system) which would require speaker stands.However if for some reason this is not practical I would suggest using the side wall

They come with a mounting plate. They are not hard to install. I did mine in a short period of time. They sound great with the teeter bar and amp I installed.

Yeah, you have to install in the ceiling. I guess you could build a box to house them but at that point you should just get regular mounting speakers.
