Of course it wasn't a simple matter of buying a bracket for the TV, the wall had to be special (exterior wall to the garage) so the studs where NOT on 16" centers and I had to open it up in order to add studs to hold the TV. Floating shelf is a threaded rod that was threaded into the studs. I'll have to figure out a way to hide the power cords for the subs. Also, found out my level isn't level. Pretty annoying, do you just throw them in the garbage at that point?
Finished the pair of subwoofers veneered in 1/4" walnut. From a sound perspective, probably didn't need two of them, they are must more powerful that I would have ever thought. African blackwood feet were offcuts from the jewelry box project. They are probably 50 lbs each.
Picture of the completed bookshelf to match the existing one on the left of the fireplace.
Even the speaker mounts are custom. French cleat, that toed in towards the listening position. Lots more steps to make these than one would imagine. Used a black walnut slab that was left out for firewood that I got for "free" from the guy I bought a bunch of walnut from (floating shelf, veneer for subs, Tom's dresser, Amy and Chris' nightstands)
