Caution:
A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker depends on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors. Use screws with a head diameter of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8 inch (or 4 mm) or less (No. 8 or smaller). With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes.
Leave a gap of between 9/32"(7 mm) and 13/32"
(10 mm) between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown.
