Members wesg Posted January 29, 2014 Members Share Posted January 29, 2014 Speakers are Yorkville NX55P. Plan is as follows --cut a piece of 1/2" plywood to roughly the same shape as the top of my speakersbolt a 1" black pipe flange to the plywood with carriage bolts facing up. Countersink carriage bolts so the round part is flush with the board.bolt plywood to speaker using the two top 1/4"-20 flypoints.Screw 1" vertical pipe into flangePaint everything black (semi-gloss?)Mount Yorkville lighting T-bar on vertical pipe (http://www.long-mcquade.com/products/1334/Pro_Audio_Recording/Stands/Yorkville_Sound/Lighting_T-Bar.htm )T-bar spec says it has 1 3/8" (1.375") flange1" iron pipe OD is 1.315"Anybody see a safety or other problem with a setup like this? Planning to mount two lights, an LED flood and a PAR38 can on each lighting T. This is a for a bar band, small venue format. Would I be better off making my own T out of iron pipe that screws together, rather than using the Yorkville T-bar? Thanks,Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Miko Man Posted January 29, 2014 Members Share Posted January 29, 2014 My concern is more about the stabilty of the rig. The T-bar is steel, as is the vertical member, and thus add more weight "high and wide", especially if the light fixtures are mounted fully outboard on the T. Falling lights and speakers seldom add to the show (in a good way). Sandbag ballast might be needed, if somebody could fall/stumble on to the rig. (Is Murphy in the house tonight?) Mark C.

Members bodybyvi Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 That is a good idea. However, you should follow a experienced person who have a lot of experience about this and make with successfully. Best of Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tube_Tonez Posted February 28, 2014 Members Share Posted February 28, 2014 These might work well, I got a couple free with a set of speaker stands....mine aren't Yamaha brand but look the same. Light and strong. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/yamaha-adp138-speaker-mounting-hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
