Speaker Wall plate locations - Blu-ray Forum

GodSpeed · 02-16-2009, 06:21 PM

Ok I am about to start running wire/Wall plates for my speakers. The front L & R are no problem as they will be mounted in line with the power outlets(same height). I am wondering about the surround(L&R) and back(L&R) wall plates. Should they also be mounted in line with the power outlets, or mounted higher to avoid having any wire showing?

I guess it all depends on whether I am using bookshelf or towers for surrounds? I could put the wallplates the same height and get some speaker stands where I can route the wire through the stand.

I'm just fishing for ideas.

If your going to mount them on the wall, I'd put the wall plates as close to the speakers as possible. But if your going to use stands or floor standing speakers I'd put them at the same level as your receptacles.
