jreyes63 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hello All:I'm currently building a new home, framing is up, so the media area I have isn't changing. I'm planning on using RF-7's up front, an RC-7, R-5650's for surrounds and CDT-5800's as back surrounds. I have a couple of options, with the media cabinet. I can leave the RF-7 on top of the cabinet and angle them inward, but i'm afraid the sound might be hindered being so high, dont think I can flip them upside down. Whats your opinion? I have 10' ceilings by the way. Or I can leave 18" off on each side of the cabinet, so that the RF-7's are flush w/ the floor. What do you guys think?Thanks.Jonathan (Cali) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I don't think any plan involving putting them off the floor is going to be recommended. The tweeters will probably be firing too far above your head while seated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreyes63 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks Wuzzer. I figured that. I also know that I'm supposed to be a couple of feet from the back, but thats just not do-able with the size of the room. I also know Its a rear firing port, I might try and see if I can re-port the air towards the front. With a plastic coduit, ie, pool or port matching tube. Hopefully that won't re-tune the enclosure.

CECAA850 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Moving them off the floor will decrease bass also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuzu Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 With them on the floor, will you be able to toe them in? You may surprise yourself and find you can move them off the wall. Mine are about 14" forward of the front of the media cabinet. Looked stupid at first but I am getting used to it. Can't say my wife is though.
