Advice on wall mounting speakers with no nails?

[Darthmace]

Heya folks, I'm about to purchase a set of logitech 5500 speakers for my dorm room and I need to wall mount the rear speakers. The walls are cement bricks so nails/screws won't do it. I don't want to use glue becasue then I couldn't take them down. Not sure if tape will be able to hold solid while the base is vibrating constantly.

Anyways does anyone have any advice on how I should go about mounting them? What ever the solution is it has to leave no damage/marks on the walls when I remove my speakers.

Hi Darthmace,

I have installed a set of Tannoy FX5.1 speakers in my son's room and used a 3M product called Command Adhesive Here. They support the speakers which I assume are roughly the same size and weight as the logitechs and have done so for some time. Just be sure to select the product that will support the weight you require. I chose the 5kg hooks and haven't had any problems. Just be sure to follow the installation instructions and you should be ok. No damage to walls or speakers.

Cheers..

When I was in college living in a dorm room with cement walls, I bought a hammer drill, masonery bit, masonary screws, and an appropriately sized socket for the screws. Drill the hole with the masonary bit with the drill in hammer mode. swap on socket to drill and drive in masonary screw. End of year, take out masonary screw - fill hole with toothpaste. Nobody the wiser. Got through several years of end of year room inspections with no damage reported.

How things change. I don't recall ever having end of year inspections of the dorm room.

I like the Command Adhesive idea. I've never used it for speakers but it works great for just about everything else.
