Hi guys.
Im working on my build in cabinet.
Actually,can i put FL,FR,C, and sub inside the cabinet ?

for front speaker,the angle of the speaker should facing straight or facing the couch ? how about sub ? possible to put inside ? scared later cabinet cannot tahan the vibration.thanks.

it will look more or less like this,with speaker inside.or do u know any consultant for HT cabinet ?thanks.

The center speaker should face the height of the listener (either standing, sitting or sleeping)
I don't think your cabinet could withstand the vibration of the subwoofer, and nvr heard of somebody doing that.
Front left right speaker can be mounted / custom into the cabinets provided the size itself suits and you don't mind the affected sound quality. The speakers should be front ported too

better to place sub on the floor somewhere...esp if its down-firing type

it will effect the quality ?why ?
Front speaker will be facing straight or center point of the room ?

Either way also can, your preference.
How it affect quality I don't know.
I just know speakers need to place on good speaker stand rather than placing it on cabinet/TV rack etc.

the not so solid wood base materials will absorb some of your sound dynamism, it will sound rather flat..

Generally not advisable to put your speakers and sub inside a cabinet. Being in a confined space will negatively affect the sound quality, unless you buy those in-wall speaker types (which are not easy to find).

Yes, I know you want to have a very clean, integrated look but I don't think speakers will perform their best inside a cabinet. In fact some people even say speakers should be placed sufficiently away from the back and side walls to sound their best.

oh..okay..thanks for your advise bro !!

yeah...speakers will spoil for nice deco...

Why not go for cube speakers like Bose? Small enough to hide it.

I'm not sure where to get carpenters to do it up for you.

If I were you I'll go to Professional Car Audio shop first to check out what they can do for you.
Since these ppl. are used to dealing with component speakers and box enclosers.
I know its for home not car...but If you got the money, anything goes, so choose a reputable SQ car audio shop.

If u r getting some HTiB or satelite speakers then its okay to place them in a shelf. But if planning on 'floorstanding' or large 'bookshelf' speakers then it will diminish the SQ as speakers need some clearance to work at their optimal. It is recommended to have at least 6" clearance from walls or enclosures (depending on the size of the speakers)

The SQ will suffer due to the insufficient 'breathing space' (check out the ports on larger speakers) and vibration.

As for Sub, place it on the floor will be ideal, LFE is non-directional hence u can place it anywhere in the room (but need to experiment to avoid 'null spots') If really need to place inside an enclosure, recommended to use a damper (can DIY with carpet material or heavy foam) under the sub to isolate vibrating the shelf.

Centre speakers should be level with the listener's ears, main speakers should be aimed at the listener and surround should be 6" up from the ear level

He is using Klipsch Reference IV RF-82 5.1 system lah.

I'm sure maryjane9996 is spoilt for choice now....htkaki is always there if you wanna order

I already bought it bro.
htkaki,what is your opinion for HT cabinet ?

The RF-82 is a dual rear ported speaker. In this case, it is going to sound terrible if it is in a cabinet. Subwoofer is a definite no no. Center speaker still negligible if you have proper padding to elevate it. The RC-62 shouldn't be a problem since it is tiltable.

I would do a cabinet but not across the whole wall. Will leave some space to put the towering RF-82.

Yeah I don't think it's necessary to do wall-to-wall cabinet. Like this you also save some money and can put it towards your HT setup (like better cables, etc).

Oh k.thanks bro.
will post it after i design the cabinet.Thanks a lot guys.
