Buy cheap Speakercraft Cinema Sub 10 Powered In-Wall Subwoofer System The Cat's Meow for Theater Sound and AestheticsBy The VirginianWe recently completely remodelled our family room, and included this subwoofer as part of the new media entertainment system. Our old system included a lot of 1990s vintage electronics, some Bose speakers, and a powered Yamaha subwoofer. And a lot of wires. It sounded decent, but the aesthetics were seriously lacking.With the remodelled family room, aesthetics were very important. We did not want any speaker boxes in the room, and definitely no visible wires. Our new system produces 5.1 sound, with a Boston Acoustics soundbar for front, left, and center channels, and two 6-1/2" Boston Acoustics in-ceiling speakers for the rear channels. But the key to producing a theater experience in your home is a quality subwoofer. And that usually means some large squarish-looking box you try to hide somewhere in the room, like under a potted plant. The aesthetics of subwoofers are generally not good.So we chose the Speakercraft Cinema Sub System. And it IS a system - it includes an Accutune box that you intall in the wall of your room, a speaker that you install in the Accutune box, and a dedicated subwoofer amplifer to drive the speaker. To install this system, you need to cut a large hole in your drywall where you want to install the Accutune box, and then run wires through your wall from the Accutune box to wherever you plan to install the subwoofer amplifier. The Accutune box fits snugly between two studs in the wall and is mounted on either side to the two studs. After mounting the Accutune box in teh wall, you install a drywall patch to cover it and then finish and paint the wall so that it is invisible. Obviously this kind of installation is best when you are going to be doing some wall work anyway. If you are not good with drywall, you may want to pay a professional to do that part. Finally, you cut a hole in the newly installed drywall patch so you can install the subwoofer speaker in the Accutune box. A grill is then installed over the speaker to finish off the installation. Voila! - a subwoofer in your wall instead of in your room. The ONLY visible signs of electronics in our family room are the LCD TV which hangs from a post mounted through the ceiling to the attic (all wires are provided inside this post), the matching soundbar directly beneath the TV, and the grills in the rear ceiling for the rear channel speakers, and in the wall for this subwoofer. The electronics are mounted in a cabinet built into a wall and are operated by a Zigbee remote control. A much more aesthetically pleasing solution.But how does it sound? My old system had a powered Yamaha subwoofer, so I was a bit skeptical that some speaker-in-a-wall ... » More Information about Speakercraft Cinema Sub 10 Powered In-Wall Subwoofer System.Thursday, June 30, 2011
