Hi I currently have a 65H14 RP CRT and am looking to upgrade my speakers from an HTIB to some Athena AS-B1s, an AS-C1, and a 12" Dayton Subwoofer. I'm wondering if it's alright to put the bookshelf speakers in a cabinet that I'm going to build sometime next year. Heres a few pictures:
(First picture in my signature)
In the following picture, the subwoofer has 2" clearance on all sides based on partsexpress's given dimensions. The Athena speakers are also based on the given dimensions. Will it affect the sound and will I have a problem with rattling, etc? I'm double bracing the sides of the cabinet next to where the subwoofer is, and the AS-B1s have 1/4" clearance on both sides and a few inches on top, do you think the speakers will rattle, should I add more clearance?
(Second picture in my signature)
I'll be pairing the speakers with an Onkyo TX-SR503 eventally, also pictured. I'll be using the amp built in to the current subwoofer to power the speakers for a few months, crossed over a 120hz, will there be any problems with this? andHow do you think this will sound compared to my current $300 Panasonic SC-HT700 HTIB that uses only single 3" drivers in the surrounds and only go down to 120hz? Thanks a lot!
