Where are the mounting points? Will this unit work with the JBL mounting eyehook kit?
Asked by: Patrick
The JBL AM5212/95 Loudspeaker System has 15 mounting points - 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom, 2 on each side, and 3 on the back - which use M10 eyebolts with washers such as the JBL 229-00009-01 Eyebolt Kit for Select JBL Loudspeakers - Set of 3 (B&H # JBHKSPVS).
