Speaker mounts

The speakers sit quite nicely into the holes in the speaker panel and would not fall out under normal use, however, this is going to be properly used, so they need some support. After all, if one popped out during a particularly energetic bout of X-Men vs. Street Fighter, it could fall and injure the mirror.

Trying to finish your opponent whilst peering down on to an upside-down, back-to-front screen with shards of mirror on it would be pretty tough.



I went for some small corner braces but declined to screw into the speakers themselves as I didn't want to damage or alter the acoustics. These bad boys should hold them in place nicely, but I may add elastic bands or cable-ties just to be sure.

I also bent them inwards ever so slightly (making an obtuse angle as Phil reminded me at the pub the other day) to give a good grip. The corners of the brackets are a bit sharp and scraped the speaker casing, but they aren't going to be seen, so not an issue.


Here's the end result. Eight brackets just waiting to take the speakers. There is a certain frustration in building the box and collecting all the accessories but not being able to put it all together until after the painting is done. Still, it will teach me patience.
