Dayton RS WMTW center in wall

[Guiria]

I've currently got this bad boy sitting in front of my TV.


I am building shelves into the walls, TV going on the wall, and speakers going into the walls as well. My bonus room has 24" on center joists which makes it a little narrower than my center channel.

Ideally if I could rebuild the Dayton RS WMTW into a narrower, taller box, pushing the mid and tweet up and bringing the two woofers closer together I could build it narrow enough to put in between wall joists.

What type of crossover mods would need to happen if I did that? If I recall the Dennis Murphy Xover did not incorporate baffle step.

If doing that will just compromise everything about the speaker then I'll do something else for a center and figure out what to do with this beast.

I can not answer your question about the crossover or the baffle step.

I think part of your solution depends on the position of the studs relative to what you want to do. If you could 'split' your box on either side of a stud, you could build a sealed box for the left RS225 and another sealed box for the right, leaving the TM pretty much intact. Or, TM in the center and the woofers approximately 16 inches to either side. (each just on the other side of a stud)

If you have room to build a false wall in which to build your shelves, the possibilities are endless. Hey, there could be an IB sub in your future if you have lots of room.
