dsommerl Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I am surface mounting a pair of inwall-s (RCW 5-s) for rear effects speakers in my 7.1 array. These can't be mounted in the wall cavity as there are metal support poles in both needed locations. I have done the cut outs in the dry wall to open up the air space and will build a low profile wood structure out on the suface of the drywall to mount the speaker frames on for these RCW-5's. I was holding one speaker up to the hole I had created and see that the magnet will be about 3/4" from each metal pole. If I put the speaker on the pole--the magnetic attraction is so great that it can almost stick on it alone. Is this going to be a problem for the speaker's peformance or long term functioning? Do I need to somehow shield the magnet or the pole from each other? (if so, what material and technique should I use). Thanks for any advice Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommerl Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 Also, in one in wall location there are several electrical wires (Romex) These wires generally supply/feed a set of light switches----do I need to be concerned about this as well? (need to somehow shield these from the speaker?) Again, because of the metal post, the RCW-5's will be surface mounted over the hole I've cut out--the electronics will not be in contact with either the pole or the electric wiring---the back of the speaker's electronnics/magnet will be about flush with the room drywall when I'm finished. Any advice will be appreciated Tks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
