So I finally got off off my lazy ass to set everything I recently purchased up. Due to the lack of space, I needed to mount most of the stuff onto the wall, so I requested my uncle to bring his drill so we could set everything up.
This is how messy my initial set up looks:
Luckily, the TV mounting and installation was done by the delivery guy so what we needed to do was merely mount the 5 home theatre satellites and do some cable management.
Tools needed were pretty basic;
1) Pencil
2) Wall Plug
3) Screw
4) Drill set
5) Hammer
6) Plastic Bag
7) Measuring Tape
Patience
The first step was to visualize how I wanted to mount the speakers. I figured we’ll put two speakers right next to the TV and the front smaller satellite below the TV. The remaining two speakers which are used for surround sound will be set behind the seated position.
We started off with the smaller satellite which was to be placed below the TV. The first step is to measure the distance between the two sockets which will hang onto the screw from the wall. Then, draw two “X” marks on the wall with the required distance. Tape the plastic bag below the “X” marks and start drilling!
Once the hole is drilled, it’s time to hammer wall plugs into the wall and later screw in some screws which will act as mount points.
This is basically repeated for all the other mount points. Measure distance between sockets behind speaker, and drill on the wall with the appropriate spacing. All the other speakers have their sockets vertically placed.
Here you can see one hole drilled and the pencil marking above for the other mount socket.
Once done the only thing left to do is mount all the speakers up.
After this it’s just a matter of cable managements to make everything look neat and tidy. Here’s a picture of the end work;
