luvthesnow Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I'm remodeling my living room and would like to hide the speaker wires in the wall for a set of RS-42 surround speakers. I know idealy you would mount them to the left and right of you but that does not work in this situation (no wall to the left) Where would you mount them on this wall. Give me some ideas.

JasonJCarney Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I wouldn't mount primary surround speakers on the back wall unless they were my "rear" surrounds. If I didn't have a side wall to mount speakers then I would use bookshelf speakers on stands or floor standers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSnake Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Jason is right, but in your case with the couch against the back wall, that will work WITH you if you mount the surround speakers on the back wall. I don't really like book shelf speakers on stands in this case, just because they take up so much room. This doesn't look like a dedicated home theater room, it looks more like a normal living room in hopes of making it sound better. I'm all for just mounting them flat on the back wall. If your receiver has a set-up mic, that'll help with any miss-placement issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panacea Engineering Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Is that a Mitsibushi Split System hanging on the wall....? Can the sofa be moved forward? I guess it all depends on the room size as to what you can do. If this room opens to another to the left, it is going to be a tough situation to get balanced where ever you mount them. Flat on the rear wall looks like the ONLY option unless you can build a "Wing Wall" to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvthesnow Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 It's a Fijitsu mini-spit system I got my never used 5.0 system out of the closet and started trying different locations/angles. I think I'm going to mount them 5-6' up flat on the back wall at first. I may even put them on a wall arm mount so I can direct them more to the center line of the room. The couch will be pulled away from the wall a bit, theres base board heat behind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for an arm mount - will only make the situation worse. Another idea is to use ceiling mount/in ceiling speakers above the couch? I would play around with locations before finishing your walls/buring the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
