Mounting speakers to wood paneling

[Marzipan]

if you make speaker stands that cantilever the weight...and you use a LOT of weight, your rowdy child will not be able to knock them over.

When she knocked over the tower I had flashbacks of highschool parties. Fixed a stereo (blown fuses) and had it running right near the limits but the speakers sat up on a ledge. One shook itself right off the ledge and shattered wood splintering cabinet was completely toast.

Trying to avoid repeat destruction. Speaker stands keep things in reach

7 and 5 here...

Honestly dude. There are some good wax crayons out there for fixing small holes in wood after the fact. If your kids are anything like mine just mount them on the wood.

Last repair I made on wood I couldn't tell unless I was 12" away, and only I knew there were there.

With children best mount ceiling.
With cable (bicycle brake) to platform with screw in eyes both ends of cable and out of reach of child.
