Got a couple Mission 762s on a generic receiver (tested, sounds great) I'm gonna be wall/ceiling mounting in a shop. My only concern is how to go about mounting it. I was thinking the speakers already had mount points on the back, but they don't.
Walls are brick, ceiling is exposed steel beams spaced every 4' or so and I believe 15' high. I don't have much experience drilling into brick but if that's the way to go I'm sure I could figure it out. I was thinking about mounting to the beams though, might be cleaner and I could aim the speakers down a bit so they're pointing toward the audience directly.
A shelf mount or strap mount would spare the trouble and potential lack of longevity (risk of it coming loose) with drilling a mount kit into the back of the speakers - they're heavy, they've got some significant boom when the sub kicks in, and I'm not sure how tough the wood in back is.
What do you guys think?
Wall mount - have to drill into brick (the painted whitish brick, not the exposed red/brown stuff) but should be solid? Just drill in a shelf and if sound is lackluster rig up a way to angle the speakers downward 20 degrees or so.
Ceiling mount - I'm envisioning something like ratchet straps. Would look a bit ghetto and need some rigging to fit properly, but should be doable. And would be more mobile if we decide to move them.
Mount kit to wall - unsure if the strength:weight ratio on these speakers is up to the load. Same minor issue of drilling into brick being a bit new to me.
