A1UC Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) I am going to mount 2 Icon XL-12's one on each side of my 100" screen My questions is the only way it would look decent is if I put them so they are next to middle of the border on the side , problem is the screen is 35" off the floor then add 26-27" so the center of the Icon will be around 60" plus Question being is this going to be a problem Edited May 26, 2014 by A1UC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is 8ft or less, maybe some slight issues, more than that you should be fine. It is obvious you are not trying to blow anyone out of their seat with a huge wall of sound.

Heritage_Head Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 You could cut two holes and put speaker terminals on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Looking at wireless HDMI Someone needs to come up with wireless banana plugs, one pair to transmit(receiver/amplifier) and one pair to receive(speaker). Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) You could cut two holes and put speaker terminals on the wall. When we built the house I had every wall even the inner walls insulated and plastic ran they are a ***** , it will only take 2 " of painted then channel to go from the side speakers to the screen . I had to drill 4 holes in the bracket for the center to get it mounted to a stud - well it only needed 2 holes but I think I drank to many beers and put them on the right when they needed to be on the left Edited May 26, 2014 by A1UC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill I heard the HDMI wireless works good if you spend about 200.00 and it would be worth it to me , as for the power outlet I had to take down the ceiling fan which was straight inline with the projector so I'm going to fish a wire in the ceiling 5 ft and put an outlet by the projector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
