Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I tend to rely on reviews for a lot of products, so thought I would share my experience...especially for those who are considering electrical box mounting options. My new house came pre-wired for surround with electrical boxes. I was looking at the articulating kits that are designed for electrical boxes, but at $35-$40 each, I didn't want to spend ~$150 just to buy four of them. Completely ridiculous! Instead, I went to a local hardware store, bought four black electrical box covers for ~$1 each, and two pairs of these VideoSecu mounts (less than $40 total for all parts). I lined up the top hole of this mount with the top hole of the electrical box cover, and drilled a hole in the box cover where the bottom hole of this mount was. Then I drilled another hole in the box cover about ~1 inch below that for the speaker wire. I then took a small block of wood (approx 2" x 2" x 2") and drove one of the included screws through the bottom hole of this mount, through the pre-drilled hole (that I made) in the box cover, and into the block of wood. I then simply mounted the whole thing to the electrical box using the screws that came with the electrical box cover (ie, putting the top screw through the top hole of this mount, through the box cover, and into the electrical box). It took me a bit longer than if I had bought one of those electrical box kits, and might not work for heavier speakers (mine are ~3 lbs each), but it saved me over $100, and looks great! (I uploaded a picture to the customer gallery. It's rotated 90 degrees, but you get the point). Use that organ between your ears and save a little dough!
