I bought these speakers, but what's the best method for tightening the screws to secure it in the dry wall? The screws seem loose after I turn them.

add an extra layer of drywall on the inside of the opening with a bead of silecone wait a few minutes to dry, then reinstall speakers

easy! on the back there,s a hanging hole on each speaker,you can even use 1inch black drywall screws! just screw it into the wall and hangup your speaker! if your speaker wires are too short! buy 16 gauge speaker wires and spliceit! making it longer so you can hang them anywhere you want!

I made a box for mine--see details in my review 2/9/14. I don't think it affects sound much, and Polk claims the speakers have an "infinite baffle" design. If you make a box, you might want to put a layer of insulation on the inside to cover the drywall. I've noticed the drywall around the speaker gets cold during winter.

I used something like a hose clamp (plumbing section of home depot, it cost a buck) to mount the speakers, it would not fit on the threaded stud of my mirrors. The amp I used Velcro, and mounted it in my luggage.

Speakers aren't designed for wall mounting. Plug connections are on the back. You could put them on a shelf. You would need to come up with your own method to get them mounted to a wall.

The shipping and packaging on these units is horrible....you may have to unscrew top speaker and see if you can fix it.The bottom speaker on my unit was completely off,had to fix it and light now it's great after a little work..good luck.

check the wire connection. I have to wiggle mine around to stop static, loss of sound in one ear, and clicking. I always press my connector in firmly to be sure. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest trying new speakers.

Use crimp on female conectors. You can find these at Walmart or autozone, etc. Crimp them on each end of a length of wire. Plug one end onto the speaker and plug the other end onto the back of the quick conect ports on the inside of the box. Put some polyfil stuffing from the walmart craft department into the space inside the box. Drop your speakers in and screw them down. The polyfil fools the speakers into thinking they are in a bigger box, helps them perform.

The screw clips secure on to the wall itself. You should use a stud finder to locate the studs, and use the template provided with your speakers between the studs. Make sure you're not too close to the wall studs since it will prevent the clips to anchor on to the wall. I gave myself enough room to center my speakers between the studs.

I would try contacting customer service at the company that makes the speakers.their name should be on the paperwork that came with the speakers.I hope they can fix or replace them.

There are screw terminals for the speaker wires. You unscrew the binding post, put the bare speaker wire into the connector, and using your fingers tighten the binding post down on each wire.

I used a 10 lb wall anchor and a screw. My walls were Sheetrock. I love my speakers.

Spades are a more secure alternative in the end connection but you have to be careful they don't touch. (My higher end speakers require them.) Bananas, while convenient 'plug 'n play', can loosen over time. (My other two pairs 'demand' them.) Alot of speakers have a set up that allows choice between screw or plug. Both are mainstays and neither are particularly 'pretty' are they? (Who cares!...don't see 'em anyway and both work well.)

I haven't figured that one out yet, my speakers are new and I mounted mine under the eaves of my patio to keep them out of the weather. Supposedly they hold up well but I wouldn't recommend putting them directly in the path of bad weather and rain.

You are not supposed to hang any speaker with a mid-bass driver on the wall. The vibrations of the cabinet against the wall would be a problem both acoustically and in scraping up the wall and speaker cabinet.Instead, good options would include purchasing after market U-Brackets which mount to wall then on each side of the cabinet (you supply screws and a drill bit) or putting up a small shelf with L-brackets.Might I suggest that instead you put up a bookshelf, then not only is there a place to put the speakers but also more storage space.

What I did personally was solder the speaker wire to the terminals. The connectors that you would buy are a piece of trash. If you can't solder them just figure a way to tape them

The speakers are held in place by an adjustable clamp that is adjusted by a screw type clamp. Once you are satisfied with the speaker location on the base then you put two screws from the clamp into the speakers and they are very secure.
