I figured we\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cX\u201d marks on the wall with the required distance. Tape the plastic bag below the \u201cX\u201d marks and start drilling!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_20100726_124407.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[479]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" class=\"wlDisabledImage\" title=\"IMG_20100726_124407\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_20100726_124407\" src=\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_20100726_124407_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_20100726_124423.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[479]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" class=\"wlDisabledImage\" title=\"IMG_20100726_124423\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_20100726_124423\" src=\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_20100726_124423_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>    <\/p>\n<p>Once the hole is drilled, it\u2019s time to hammer wall plugs into the wall and later screw in some screws which will act as mount points.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_20100726_124631.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[479]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" class=\"wlDisabledImage\" title=\"IMG_20100726_124631\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_20100726_124631\" src=\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_20100726_124631_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_20100726_124534.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[479]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" class=\"wlDisabledImage\" title=\"IMG_20100726_124534\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_20100726_124534\" src=\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_20100726_124534_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a>    <\/p>\n<p>   <a href=\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_20100726_124655.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[479]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" class=\"wlDisabledImage\" title=\"IMG_20100726_124655\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_20100726_124655\" src=\"http:\/\/hypog.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/IMG_20100726_124655_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    <\/p>\n<p>This is basically repeated for all the other mount points.
