Reply to comment by Kesshh in Can L brackets into brick hold a sound bar that's 15 inches out? by achenx75

Sound bar is 8-10 lbs I'd say. I'd be drilling to the brick, not stud.

That's the mantle. I'm not sure if it's solid wood all the way through, the outside texture doesn't feel like totally natural wood. I was thinking of installing reinforcement on that but was wondering it that'd be over-engineering lol.

Brick might be sketchy as it relies on the plugs.

What about hanging the sound bar off of the TV mount? I hanged mine off the VESA plate so that it turns with the TV.
