Speakers

Needed to determine the mounting depth and options for in-wall speakers in the office.  I like the NHT IW3's I have in the basement family room, but at about $450/pr they aren't cheap.  So instead I decided to go with a $175/pr set of Boston Acoustics.  To improve the sound quality I mounted them on 3/4" plywall, which will then have drywall mounted over it.  Had to verify that the speaker mounts would accommodate this setup.  Here they are in the rough mounts.

Due to the gas line running right next to it, I may end up framing and drywalling around the ducting above the speakers, and I still need to run that wire through the floor joists.

You can see the cross stud below each speaker.  This will allow me to create a closed box for each speaker, and fill it with rockwool.
