I know, they're seriously ugly! Don't really know what to do with them. I hate to cut the sheet rock.

Richard, trying to do something about exposed wires is a fairly common issue, and there are some good threads on it. Some typical approaches are wire conduits or flat (and paintable) wires. Folks here would be happy to help out.

I was just giving you a hard time, though. :D

Very nice. Twin PB12-Plus/2's must pound in a room that size.

Nice system and a great room.

I am kinda partial to Klipsch myself.

I really like your subwoofer placement(s). How long did it take you to find the best spot for them? That must have been a chore moving those bad boys around.

The front towers are well placed away from the walls but I do think that there are better places for your two racks with all that space.

And since advice is free, the seating positions look a little too deep for a room with such good proportions.

That center channel is huge. It almost needs a room by itself!!!!

Thanks for taking time to share your work with us. Nice job!

Hi Westcott,

I really didn't have that many choices for sub placement. I wanted the subs separated to smooth the freq response which pretty much eliminated the back and there wasn't really room in the front which left the sides. Moving them up and down the wall wasn't too bad, they slide on the carpet. Picking them up and placing them in the main listening position was out of the question :).

Originally I only had the equipment rack but added the lazy susan to make the front more symmetric. I really wanted to mount the equipment rack in the right wall but the acoustic treatment and having to rework the room on the other side of the wall stopped me.

When I wired the surrround speaker wires in the wall it pretty much dictated the placement of the speakers and thus the seats.

The center channel weighs 52 pounds.


If I had it to do all over I would have made a number of changes. I started the room in January 2004 when I had the house built and it was finished. It's had three AVRs, two pre-pros, two sets of subs, multiple remote controls and many DirecTV DVRs. It's constantly changing.

I learned pretty much on my own and made a number of mistakes along the way.

I'm never insulted by suggestions. If you want to be more specific on your ideas, I'm all ears.

Hi Adam,

I changed the speaker wires to creme colored 14 ga zipcord which blends in the background much better. Not perfect but a huge improvement.

I stopped giving advice a while back on this forum. No one wants to hear it and it always seems to come off as arrogance and people get all twisted.

Enjoy your system and don't stop experimenting and learning.

Thanks for sharing!!!!

It looks like that is an interior wall. if so, it would be easy to run from attic down inside the wall.
