Love all the ergonomic and space saving ideas... and I'd like to know where you get those wall hangers for clamps.

what mounts are those on the TM surrounds? I need to get some for mine and those set nice and close to the wall.
Yes the center channel now has the correct polarity - reverse on the 5". I purchased the rear mounts at Crutchfield a few years ago. I drilled holes in the mounts themselves to run the speaker wire through so when mounted there would be no wire showing.

Seen it before. Done it before. :o
Thanks for all the feedback folks I really appreciate it.

Originally posted by Gordy View PostSo that could be a possibility. In looking at the diagram it looks like the 5" and tweet should be reverse polarity. Am I seeing or reading it wrong? The polarity symbol of these drivers looks like a (-) but also looks like 2 dashes with the vertical part of the (+) missing.

Originally posted by bullittstang View PostSounds like you have one of the driver's out of phase, more than likely the mid. I know you mentioned you checked all the polarity, but just making sure you know that the CC has both the mid and tweeter out of phase to the woofers. Sounds simple, but sometimes the simple answer is the last one we try.
Your build is stunning, great job on the veneer and finishing.

Right now it is fully stuffed and that seemed to clam it down some, but all voices sound like they are in a tunnel.
Thoughts?
