In around a month I will be living in a dorm room, and my surround sound is coming with me. This is a problem, because you are not allowed to alter the room; so no drilling, screws or nails. This is why I'm turning to DIY for some assistance. The surround system is a Logitech Z-5500. It has five small but pretty dense satellite speakers that will need to be hung from the wall by some method. Each satellite has a U shaped base with holes for fasteners at each tip. The base can be rotated up to create a wall mount. I can take pictures or provide any other information if it's needed. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

What kind of ceiling do you have? If it's a drop tile, you can suspend the speakers. Or maybe some posts.

Otherwise, use adhesive. Test it to see if it peels of cleanly, or if you can use solvents without hurting the paint.

Tomorrow. I have to sleep for work now. Thanks for the interest.
Edit: Good ideas, Spatula Tzar. I'm not sure of the ceiling type right now as I haven't moved in yet. I'll get back to this tomorrow evening.

I was gona say find some way to suspend from ceiling as well.

Check the rental agreement, some also say that if you paid some sort of deposit that "if you made any alteration they are covered up to $XXX"

Have you been in dorms before? Just mount them like you normally would and fix any holes when you move out.

Superglue them up, but don't over do it. Just put a couple dots around the outside edge of the mount, and hold it on or tape it up while the glue dries. When the end of the school year runs out and it's time to take it down, just use a flat head screw driver and pry the edges of the mount up, and use a razor blade to scrape off any residue left on the wall.

Note: This probably shouldn't be done on drywall, or wallpaper surfaces because it will more than likely pull a bit of the surface off with it.

Another way would be to use sticky tack, if the speakers are light enough. Just put a healthy amount on the mount and slap it up there.

This could work quite well. It's what I used in the dorms to hang all my shit.

Fuck that. Screws are the anchor of choice for a reason. Just patch the holes with filler (and paint if you need to) when you move out. If you don't wildly butcher it, people might not even notice the screw holes once you remove the speakers. You're going to want to make sure you anchor it on a stud though, so it won't pull out and really screw up the drywall.

Edit: I wouldn't trust drop ceilings to anything very heavy. I've had the support beams come out, and what a mess you have when that happens.

Use velcro. There's this really strong kind that you can get, and it holds my camcorder to my wall. (i use it as a web cam with my capture card) I also use it in my car when I borrow my dad's GPS.
