had ugly 70's paneling on walls......someone slapped wallpaper over that and painted. Under that is 1/2 drywall. I took some of the paneling off since it was easier to just rip it out- Now I am left with a room with 1/2 drywall (unfinished since panels covered it)- Rather than rip that all down- was thinking of screwing 1/4" drywall over it- This seem like an OK approach or am I missing something that may make this more work in the end......

I just installed these two speakers at the bookstore/coffeehouse/church where I am the music director. I have no concerns about the one mounted on the brick wall, as the brackets came with hardware (5/16" lag bolts and anchors) specifically intended for mounting on brick. The brackets are guaranteed to support speakers weighing up to 110 lbs when mounted on brick. These speakers weigh 32 lbs. My question concerns the one on the opposite wall, mounted on drywall. One of the bolts (upper right) is solidly in a stud. For the other 2 I first tried [URL="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Cobra-Anchors-1-8-in-x-2-in-Zinc-Plated-Driller-Toggles-6-Pack-360R/202527110"] Driller Toggles[/URL] rated to hold 80lbs each, but they didn't work, as the drywall was too thick for them to toggle properly. The drywall is more than 1/2" thick (I think it's 3/4") So I ended up using 5/16" toggle bolts. They have no weight rating, but they're bigger (thicker bolt, wider toggle) than the "Driller Toggles". Can I assume they should support as much weight? It looks and feels solid. The entire installatation (speaker and bracket) weighs 36.5 lbs. I've spoken to a couple other DIYer friends, and they don't think I should worry, but I'm still a little nervous about putting something this heavy above peoples heads. Any opinions appreciated.
