I don't think the RC-7 is ported, I have the RC-35 and it is not. If that is the case, then no, you should be ok as long as it is as close to the front edge as possible. Most center speakers are designed to be in a tight space. Glad it made a digfference. Later

The RF-7 is a ported speaker. Ported speakers are not meant to be chocked down. If your cabinet is tight enough it will prevent the spekers from performing as designed. I just tried a test with my RF-7's I covered the ports and lost appx 45%-60% of audible "punch" This of course is not a engineered test. LOL

I would have to agree with not boxing in the rf-7 I have recently moved to a new house with a theater room "YEEH-Haa" Until now I was not happy with my RF-7 setup. I now have about three feet of clearance behnd the towers, and it makes all the difference. It was like getting a new system. Is the custom unit ported?
