QuestionWhat width difference is needed between the studs to mount the sound bar?
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You don't need to put it in studs. There are mounting anchors at the hardware store that can go into sheetrock. The hold from 5-50 pounds per anchor. I have used them to install upper cabinets and not have any issues.

QuestionI currently own a 2 year old 65" A9G OLED. I want to add the HT-A5000 bar, the SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers, and SA-SW3 sub. Will these items integrate well with my A9G? Also, Can I still use the acoustic panel speakers of the TV along with this setup?
Asked 3 years ago by LocoDiablo.
- Answer Hi LocoDiablo, Thanks for your inquiry. Great news! The A9G TV will work well with the soundbar. To use the TV speakers with the soundbar setup, you'll need to add an optical cable aside from the HDMI cable.

QuestionWill this work on the Insignia NS-HWD1848 TV stand?
Asked 3 years ago by Steve.
- Answer Hi Steve, Thanks for your inquiry. The soundbar can be placed on a TV stand or cabinet if it supports these dimensions: 1210 × 67 × 140 mm (47 3/4 × 2 3/4 × 5 5/8 inches) (WxHxD) and a weight of 6.1 kg (13 lb 8 oz). Please also refer to the specifications of the TV stand or cabinet. Additional information: Take your entertainment to a new realm of audio immersion. The HT-A5000 has 5.1.2 channels and X-Balanced speaker units minimize distortion while the up-firing speakers and beam tweeters fill the room to give an ultra-immersive listening experience. Built-in subwoofers provide an additional boost to low end frequencies. Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround creates immersive sound from all around, while Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® lend a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to your content. -Ralph
