007nco Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Got the main audio gear in place and figured I'd do a little progress thread on it. Installed the 4 5800-C II's in the ceiling this week and it was a big, messy job to say the least! Strapped into beams now, still deciding on final mounting with ceiling sound panel project. They are all 6' and inches to the MLP and angled all in there as well. Research to do still on this. Installed the R-5800-W II panels 7-8' from MLP let all at no attenuation, nice clean, love the magnetic grills on the 5800 series top and sides! Temporarily mounted the RS-7's at 12' from MLP. This whole wall gets a rework and how to do with these horns not reflecting off shelves is the challenge to design around. (pulled down 7 trash cans full of log slices...errr creative absorption left by previous artistic owner!) Here's the 2nd R-115SW. sounds pretty good but really need a home for it. Ideas to put on back wall, sink behind back wall or possibly into wall it's next to now but best not to couple so close to the original 115SW that is behind the sectional under the stairs. Balance sound and cosmetics is the struggle for it. For now... Watching a few ATMOS videos on Youtube, Mad Max and San Andreas getting levels tweaked still. So far I am very pleased but I know it's got a ways to go before it's done. Sheetrock, hiding cables, diffusing and absorption coming up next. Thanks to all whose advice on here for answering my novice and helping to point in the right direction! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted November 21, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 21, 2015 You have put together a quality system. I can see it's a bit tight trying to fit everything in. You might find that rotating the sub 90 degrees would allow you to pull the RF-7's away from the wall a bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007nco Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Thanks; it is a lot for the room. Now to make it work lol. The really interesting thing was that initially I had the sub rotated to face out. Being near the existing and facing the same way (just roughly 30" forward) killed the bass response, 180 switch didn't help either, it was cancelling out the other to a good extent so i flipped it that way so everyone on the sofa is in the near field for now. Really trying to get it in the furthest part of the room away from the one under the stairs but will be making my way about the room crawling about soon. I'll do that when no one is home or they'll think I've definitely gone nuts with my sound obsession! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
