Dry wall is up, primer and paint tomorrow. Woot woot!

ignore the ugly expanding insulation. I put drywall on the back side to create a sort of enclosure for the fronts and center - that might end up making the volume a little small, but I figured it'd be easier to knock down the back side drywall if it's way too small than it would be to try to...

Dry wall tomorrow.....

I was going to use two different outputs. As I have 7.1 output on my receiver, this is one of the configurations it can use. I've decided against it at this point. I'm actually basically creating enclosures by dry-walling the back side of the front facing wall between the studs where the...

Alright, I've ordered speakers. I ended up purchasing this center channel - 255c-RT. I got a pair of these for front left/right - 265-RT. These things are typically designed to fit between studs that have an inner finished wall and most likely another wall behind them (outside or other finished...

I'm too lazy to photoshop it, but I think I'm going to move the TV down and put the center channel at the top. It doesn't seem that high from the viewing seats, but I can see where it might get that way. I think I'll leave a pre-wired speaker outlet at the bottom behind the TV just in case the...

oh, and I'm a dope because it wasn't heat you were talking about with the fireplace. I didn't catch the neck part of that. I think it'll be fine. It's really about the same level as the 46" that we had sitting there was at, it'll be a few inches higher at the bottom, but I think it'll be alright.

Thanks man. I doubt that fireplace will ever be turned on. It's not efficient to justify using it. I'm looking to spend only a few hundred, maybe 300-400 for speakers. I'm flexible on that, but I think that should get something decent enough. The in walls I have almost purchased are Polk RC85i...

This is what I meant about high and low.

So I'm working on rebuilding a wall... here's the thread - LINK. I'm still working on speaker selection and placement. Most in wall speakers do not have any sort of enclosure. What I know of speakers is that they'll perform better in an enclosure. Is there an in wall speaker with an enclosure...

Thanks man, I'll check out the custom cable. I believe I do mean height channels. Basically speaker placement, not like mids and highs like frequencies, but a lower front and a higher front for placement. I seem to recall that as one of the options of the set up using 7.1 on my receiver. Thanks...

Hi guys, thanks for the responses.... So I'm back with more questions and a progress update. It's framed, though I may have to move some studs around to allow for correct placement of the speakers. Here's a pic of progress... I really am curious about this concept of using high and low fronts...

Oh... any recommendations on a wall mount? retail store that rhymes with Best Lie wanted to sell me a mount for $200... and a $300 cable... and a $1000 (no stuff) warranty. Wait wut? :confused: Well, it at least would have paid for them to mount it on the wall... I'm not so sure they'd have...

Thanks for the responses guys. I think I'm just going to run cables through a 2 1/2 inch conduit to make room for anything else that may be needed later. All the HDMI should come through the receiver's HDMI Output, so I'm thinking the second is only back up. Ethernet is needed for the TV and...

Also, if this is in the wrong place, please move it to the correct place.

So I just bought a new home and in the new home, things are set up for an old tube style 32 inch TV. Here's a pic... I've started making some changes... To prepare for the new set up.... I have the new TV already, it's a Panasonic TC-P65GT30 - LINK It's going through this receiver - Link and...
