Hi all,

I bought a house that is prewired for surround sound in the family room.
Standard electrical boxes all mounted in the ceiling and covered with
plastic blank covers. I was thinking about buying 5 aluminum colored,
metal, blank plates and drilling each one with 3 holes. Two for the speaker
mounts and a small one to pass the wire through. Since my speakers are also
aluminum colored and so are the ceiling mounts, I was thinking this would
give the whole job a nice, neat finished look. The speakers weight less
than 1# and are 7" x 4" and I would think two screws through the plate would
be plenty strong. 2 nuts & bolts on each plate to hold the mount.
The only alternative would be to keep the blank plastic covers, drill a
small hole to pass the speaker wire and then mount the ceiling mount very
close by to all five of them. I think that would look too busy.

Any thoughts?

A point is if its simply out of phase, bass will be nonextant, Yes I
have pro sytems, use your Ear in tests.

The only thing pro this quack ransley has is a degree in pro
