currently remodeling the living room and have opened up one side of the tv wall to fit shelves and house av stuff etc etc.


not sure on where I should be situating my bits and bobs


equipment

50" lg 570T television
Onkyo 606 av amp
Mordaunt short alumni bookshelves sitting on a pair of pixel t50 stands
Mordaunt short alumni 9 sub

usual gubbings sky ps3 etc etc


now the onkyo sky box ps3 etc are going on the shelves


and the tv is mounted next to the shelves centred on the wall as per before it was opened up these things are set in stone and not being changed.

what I do need advice on though is positioning of both sub and speakers

I was thinking sub tucked away in the corner and speakers sitting maybe in the corners also pointing toward the couch in front of the tv. but will having the sub and a speaker in the same corner pose any problems?


heres a fantastic scale diagram I drew earlier

top drawing is side on bottom is top down in case anyones in any doubt


and this is how it looks atm boxed in section is where av amp and sky etc are sitting with shelves above




the big rectangular shape drawn on the wall is where the tv is being hung
 
so other than the dodgy chanelling any thoughts on positioning my speakers?

well i think his point is ... that if any work needs doing , the guy doing the drillign is going to be at risk as he won't expect the cabling youv'e done :(

so just brushing off his remarks sounds abit poor imo .. and you don't really deserve a resonse after that

I would hardly say I brushed his remarks off I genuinely asked if there was any reasons against it and he gave me a list. Then steered the thread back on topic.


I certainly took his points on board and have already thought about remedial actions I really didnt want to get into a whole discussion regarding badly channelled walls when all I need to know is where to point my speakers :)



Slim as for not running conduit it makes things easier for me, the walls are brick with a skim of plaster over top. The less depth I need to channel out the better. Is ruddy hard work. That and as the cables are only mounted a couple of m, below the wall it should be easy enough to dig out and ski over if required.

Sod's law I
M going to have a cable failure within a week now :)


Tell me more about this qontour cable. Sounds expensive
 
just to update this, ended up encasing the cable in some conduit (was down in b & q anyway so thought what the heck :)


not going to bother rechanneling the wall (for all it is) that and theres a ruddy great big airbrick in the way.


points taken on board for the rest of the house though
