Reply to "hanging speakers chain or cable"

Former Member

ok they are hung. i am using 880 lbs chain connected with 1550lbs shackles connected to forged eyebolts rated at 1250lbs at three poins on the 48lbs cabinets. going up and over the main I-beams in the building. not to mention i have 550lbs safety wire as well connected to different points on the speakers, than the chain. i talked with a local theater company and spoke with him off the record, and with how i have it i have gone way above what was necessary. based on the safe working load being 880lbs i am using a ratio of 18:1 and my safety wire is 11:1 .yes things can fail and i am confident i have done everything in my power to prevent it. only difference between me doing it and a pro rigger would be my pocket would be lighter and the liability would be on him not me. (in so many words of course)
