I got the wall mount brackets done for my 2 pi surrounds.

I used construction grade pine - a few trips through the surface planer makes some nice (free) stock. Here's a pic of the rough brackets on the bench.

I used bed rail hardware screwed to the bracket and speaker to hang the two pi surrounds.

Here's a pic of the bracket attached to the speaker - sitting on the workbench with the drivers facing down.

I sunk redheads into my concrete back wall to mount the brackets. The side surrounds are mounted with toggle bolts, and regular screws where I could hit a stud.

Here's a blurry pic of the left side and back surrounds.

These speakers sound simply wonderful. It's nice getting rid of retired speakers and milk crates serving as speaker stands now that I've got wall mounts done.
