Drywall – How to mount speakers that don’t have mount adapters

drywallmountingspeakerswalls

How can I mount a pair of speakers to my apartment walls? Specifically, how do I mount speakers that have no mounting points? They are from a turntable set from the 80's most likely before the standard was to include a screw hole or wall mount. What's the best way to go about this with the least amount of damage done to the speakers and the apartment wall?

For those of you that were wondering

Speaker Dimensions: 7.5 inches deep x 12 inches wide x 23 inches tall

If you check out a home theater/audio site like Parts Express, you'll find oodles of different ways to wall mount a speaker.

For heavier speakers, I've used these guys in the past with excellent results. I think they're rated for 50lbs each. Plenty of adjustability and easy installation. I used heavy-duty drywall anchors to mount mine.

Add some in-wall speaker wire and some wall plates with binding posts, and you've got a nice, clean install.
