Dayton RS Center Channel Build Thread

[---k---]

I've seen bigger.


Very nice. It looks like you're having fun. :T

Cool center channel stand...

Well look at it this way, you are not going to any issues hearing your movie dialogue with that puppy !!!

Sylvan - BWhahahah. Yeah it is massive. And solid. I would trust it in my foundation for my house.

---k--- - You better be talking about the center channel!! I love doing this stuff. Should be an amazing experience when I get everything in it's final resting place.

Beer - Hahahah. It took me a second to realize what you were saying cause all I saw was stand and thought entertainment stand. Yeah, it was the easiest and quickest way for me to get it in a somewhat center channel location. Those cabinets for the MARKK's should be loaded and rocking in the next week or so, and all this stuff will be moving to the new house. Definitely not the final stand for this. :P

madmac - That's what I'm saying! I think in the new place it will be going it will be about 7 ft from the listener. I hope no one gets hurt.

next to the recliner...OMG MUHAHAHAHAHA

Try some 5 channel music listening as well because that center will hold it's own easily along with your mains!!!!

WZ - I love that pic too. Really shows the ridiculousness. So does the fact that my TV is a 65". That pic makes it seem like a ~40" .

MM - I listened at low levels last night and I had a REAL hard time determining what was on and what the levels were. I kept thinking the center wasn't playing because it was just "gone". I'd turn down the left and right channels and it was just like it should have been. It's amazing stuff these designers have done.

Let me be the first to say I think Mr Butts has a screw loose. ;-p Or maybe just one missing on the left side of the mid.
Yeah that TV looks small now I think you need a new one.

Hahahaa. Nice catch. My drill bit broke off in there some how. :evil: I was going to push it through but figured I'd wait till I do the finish, so I can get it out. Good thing I have the shielded drivers. :T

In that last picture, even Pacino himself cannot believe the awesomeness that has been bestowed upon him...

Good lookin' stuff, and a patient wife to boot!

[cjd]

Wait. That amp is more than one channel? Each channel must be tiny then!



Looks good! Next up is a biiiiig FP screen.

[joeybutts]

cb - I know!! the timing was uncanny. She is a keeper......so far.

cjd - bwhahahaha. When I got the XPA-3 I thought it was huge. Putting the center over it just dwarfs it. It does do a fantastic job of pushing my front three. Time to find a two channel for the surrounds, until then I'll use my Oink 876.

And you are absolutely correct. A big FP screen is up next along with a lot of other plans in the new house I just purchased.

Nice work, Joey! I especially appreciate the detailed and documented construction!

Nothing at all wrong with a large center channel! My Avro Part center measures 56"w by 26"h and weighs in near 150lbs...
