My question relates to Home theater and in particular to the design of enclosures. Here is the "problem", I want to build a center speaker that can be "fitted" behind a flat screen TV. the TV is not mounted on the wall so I can move the TV away from the wall a few inches. I wonder if any thoughts to building the enclosure as in the drawing, so it can be mounted in the wall behind the TV and the drivers only showing above the TV.

The drivers I envision would be like parts express 264-815 (3 " mids)and 264-834 (tweeter), similar to the "cyanosure" DIY posted in parts express' website.

any thoughts? Full of it? stick to other design?

Enclosure 14 in. (h) x 24 in. (w) x 4 in. (d)

While I cannot see your enclosure drawing, I can imagine an 'L' shaped enclosure. I do not think this will contribute negatively to your sound, aside from being harder to build. I would resist putting the ports near the back or bottom of the enclosure as this may cause an unnatural rise in lower midbass response. But it may not. Experimentation would be in order.
