Any suggestions for a Bigfoot mount?

[Jerrin]

Hi all,

I'm trying to find out what device or mount would work best to hang my bigfoot. I have a tile celing, and above them are the joists. I'll have to hang the bigfoot above the screen and tilt it down towards the first and second row of seats which are approximately 9 and 13 feet, respectively, from the screen.

Any suggestions?


Thanks all

I can't help much, but I can tell you that a bigfoot seems to sound better just below ear level angled up, rather than above angled down. I think it's because it's closer in height to the floorstanding fronts, if you got rockets. It's the biggest regret that I have next to buying an AVR instead of a pre-amp/amp setup.

Thanks for the info guys. Mike, I appreciate all that info you collected.

I would love to put the bigfoot under the screen, but I don't have any room. I have an IB that takes up approximately 24 inches from the floor and then the bottom of my screen starts from there.

I only have about 13 inches above the screen (before the ceiling tile) and none at the bottom. I probably should have shrunk the screen a little, but you know how that goes....

Just to add my two cents... my bigfoot sounded lame and small under my screen.. the bottom of my screen is 18" from the floor putting the bigfoot very low. Everytime I'd recline it would get worse..and forget trying to hear anything in the back row if you have two or more rows.

I mounted it above the screen by inverting two 70lb rated shelf brackets and mounting a 14"x25" peice of ply onto the bottom of the brackets, wrapped it in felt and it dissapears into the black wall it's mounted to.

The sound once mounting it above was night and day better, it filled the room with great sound.
