In addition to ensuring all hardware is properly installed and secure, you must use the Seismic Support Bracket on the loudspeaker to secure the loudspeaker to an appropriate structural support. This minimizes the chance of the loudspeaker falling from the ceiling in the event the primary mount fails.
