Default hanging cabinets
I have a tendency to overbuild, but the way to do this with a minimum of me and maximum support would be to fit a piece of 5/8 or 3/4" plywood to the wall, covering the entire area where the cabinets will be installed. Use1-1/2" drywall screws and plenty of construction adhesive. Then the cabinets can be screwed at any interval-more screws for more weight.
