See attached picture, I mounted the SB3 on the wall at the weekend whilst the wife was decorating the Christmas tree :)
Took about 30-45mins. I printed out the template, cut out the dark area and then traced this on to the wall. Then put masking tape around the edges to protect the wall, and then using a Stanley knife and careful patience, cut the hole. Finishing with a Rasp. SB3 slotted in beautifully, I didnt in the end use anything behind it to hold it in place, the wall is plaster and lathes, and the lathes held it perfectly in place, cable tied all the leads together and then up into the attic space. A DIY job that worked out very nicely and no nasty surprises for once! For reference this is my complete kit list; Ceiling speaker - £36.37 http://www.impactaudio.co.uk/product.asp?ref=550 No experience with ceiling speakers so nothing to compare against, but this works fine and handles deep bass ok without distortion. Note I dont turn it up extremely loud, its the bathroom not the front room! ;) Acoustic Solutions SP101 Amplifier - £60 from Argos http://www.acousticsolutions.net/product.asp?ID=92 Cheapest amp I could find, and is ok, does the job. Has 6 phono inputs available, I have it balanced at 23.75db. Speaker Cable 42 Strand x 25Metres - £15 http://www.aqsound.com/store/en/view_product/34/94/ SB3 Expensive and stung by Customs and Excise for tax :( +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: slim.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=537| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- cparker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cparker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2083 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17420 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
