Mounting speakers on foam backed plasterboard glued to masonry wall

Posted by rob osbourn, on Tue 25 Apr 2017 03:05pm

I want to mount speakers on bracket in living room wall. The wall is plasterboard backed with foam which has been glued to a masonry wall. I want to know what fixing i should use and do they need anchoring in the masonry wall. The speakers weigh 8kg. Any help much appreciated. :)rob

Use gripit fixings available from screwfix, but the undercutting tool this will make it easy to cut away foam on back of board to allow for correct setting of fixing

Use gripit fixings available at screwfix, buy the undercut tool this will allow you to make hollow behind plasterboard in foam easily, to have the correct set on the fixing.

I would suggest hollow wall anchors Or drill a hole through the plasterboard into the masonry behind it and use a long screw. But the hollow wall anchors will hole 8KG no problem
