Looking for opinions for DIY thin speaker on TV Stand

[SilverJS]

Gents,

Been a while since I've been here - have been too busy thoroughly enjoying my Nat P's I built 5 years ago! =)

So I'm off to my next project. I'd like to build a nicely modern TV stand - see quick Sketchup model below. The shelf on the bottom will be home to a receiver and HTPC, and I will also put a hidden downward-firing sub in there, with the amp hidden on the back wall of the stand.

My question, however, is thus : any DIY ideas for the speakers as I have them there? They're about 6" wide by 2' high (and opposite for the center channel), by about 4" deep. Of course, the depth could run a few more inches "inside" the cabinet, as I'll be framing this with 2X4's the same as any other house wall. From the little I understand of BSC, an in-wall design wouldn't really work with this, would it?

I'm basically trying to emulate, DIY-style, the Totem Tribes :

Am I dreaming in color?

Thanks for the help! =)

You should read Paul Carmody's Event Horizons thread on Parts Express Tech Talk forum at:

http://techtalk.parts-express.com/showthread.php?t=226211

His design is similar to what you want albeit with perhaps different drivers or just a MTM version with subs filling in the bass. Several ideas worth following even though I'm not sure that Paul actually finished his design. You might try to contact Paul and follow up on mods for your project.

Good call, Jim. Those Totems were one of the speakers I drew inspiration from when doing the Event Horizons.

I didn't publish the design officially yet. There are a few unofficial builds going on right now.
