Been Thinking!

[speakerman39]

Folks, does ANYONE here know where I can buy some key-hole slot clamps like these found on the back of the Polk TSi100 speakers?

TSi100 - Bookshelf | Polk Audio®

I need a couple of them because of my need to put my Pioneer SP-BS22's on the wall. I also need the rubber feet attached to the bottom of the TSi100 speakers as well. Is there a place that I can get them from besides Polk? I sent them an email, but have not heard back from them just yet. The Pioneer SP-BS22's do not have a key-hole slot for mounting purposes. Thanks for helping.

Cheers,

Phil

Note: Please click on the pic showing the back of the TSi100 speaker. Also, I forgot to mention that both the Pioneer SP-BS22 and the Polk TSi100 speakers weigh about the same. As such, the clamps on the Polks should work with the Pioneer speakers.

Hey, Phil... I THINK you can get those little hooks at just about any hardware store in the "frame hanging" section. Yes, thats a real section...

I know for sure that Hobby Lobby or Michaels or whatever have them. not sure on the feet... PM ParadigmDawg.. he knows all about feet...

Thanks for the info. The reason I want the ones like on the Polks is because they are well proportioned. It looks like I can screw in the key-hole clamps, but not sure how the rubberized feet are attached. Perhaps, I can just glue them on. Maybe Polk will help me out and sell them to me....haha!

How many feet do you need? Do they have to be rubber? I've used the felt "round thingies that go on the bottom of chairs to protect wood floors" before. Perhaps those might work? I dunno.. Swerd seems to be on the right track. They typically are a peel and stick I think...

You seriously should PM ParadigmDawg and ask foot questions. He really loves feet.

Awesome! Thanks for the links. BTW, what length would you say the rubber feet need to be? I am guessing 1 1/2" perhaps? I also need the key-hole clamp to be vertically oriented not horizontally. Any other suggestions? You seem to know about this. I appreciate your input.

Well, I will need at least 4 separate feet. Two for each speaker just like that on the Polk TSi100's. The feet look to me to be about 1 1/2" in length-maybe even 2" at best. They really do not have to be rubber, but the Polks do feel like that somewhat. BTW, what has Greg been up to? Been a while since I spoke to him. Hope he is doing well.

Keyhole hangers come in a number of different sizes, depending on what weight you're trying to hang. You might get a better idea of the sizes after seeing them in a hardware store.

And then you'll know what size rubber feet you'll need …

According to This and This she is doing well, despite her weight gains...

Folks, heard back from Polk regarding the key-hole clamps and rubber feet. That being said, I can get them rather inexpensively. It should not be more than $10 or so depending on S&H charges for both SP-BS22's. The question is now where/how is the crossover mounted inside the BS22's cabinets? I will have to drill screws into the 22's. As such, I do not want to drill into the crossover components. I also have purchased a new TV stand. I am slowly but surely making some progress of getting back into the "game" so to speak. Any info will be helpful regarding the 22's.

Oops, I forgot to mention that I have to wall-mount the BS22's due to budget constraints. I do not see myself paying a lot of money for wall mounts. I know there are some good ones out there, but they are also rather expensive. That is why I am ordering the clamps/feet from Polk. At least for now, it should work just fine. Maybe later I will get some good wall mounts. Just feels good to be getting back into the game per se.
