This pic will have to do for now until I can get up to the factory this weekend for photos. --- End quote --- Do you think there would be a demand for 25" monitors. I've been wanting to pick one up. I'd have to go home and measure, but I believe I made my cabinet the same width as my double dragon II (dynamo) which I think was 24.75" to the outside. I will try and remember to measure when I get home. Otherwise I probably wouldn't mind a 27" if I could fit it. |

From a structural standpoint, I'd tend to side with Ken here. The brackets look sufficiently strong, but I'd still be leery about mounting a 80+ pound monitor to MDF using only a handfull of woodscrews. Granted, your market isn't one where the cabs will see a lifetime of being bounced from one location to the next in the back of a pickup truck, but you'll still have to ship assembled cabs to the buyers. How many damaged cabs and busted monitors are you willing to eat if the screws prove insufficient to the task? I'll second Ken's opinion that carraige bolts would be a better solution. I believe Slickstick's monitor brackets mount to their cabs in such a fashion. If your worried about looks, you could countersink the bolt heads prior to laminating the cabs. Alternatively, you might look for some form of adhesive (i.e. Gorrila Glue) to bond the brackets in place in addition to the wood screws. My 2 cents, FWIW ... ;) |

This method sounds much stronger than the real live versions I have in original cabinets in my garage. None of my cabs have carriage bolts on the outside... most of them use glue, routered wood, brackets & screws. Pretty much garbage compared to this. |
