Help Me Hook Up Deckzilla for Sound

I'm thinking either two or four larger Atrium speakers up top and my smaller Atrium A4s down below.....need to order speakers and cable tonight....thoughts? Also obsessing which end of the deck the speakers should be mounted on.....facing house or away from house?

    2 thoughts..... Do 2 large ported sub enclosures using 10's or 12's with each using the length of a single stud bay on the top....

    Repeat for the bottom :smile:

    My buddy did just that. He has some small bookshelf speakers mounted on his detached garage. On the other side of that garage is the pool. He did the following awesome things.

    1. Mounted a short throw projector on that side under the roof overhand along with a 120" screen.
    2. Installed some small bookies on wallmounts for L/R
    3. Build sub boxes using 2 rafter bays of that same overhang area for 2 10" subs so he can have a really nice music system for his pool.
    4. Installed a Bluetooth receiver in the garage along with other stuff for playing music from the pool area

    Take one of your rafter bays and use it as the enclosure for a ported subwoofer. Like this only your using the rafter bay on the ceilings (in the top and bottom floor) as the box.

    Here is a somewhat example that should help explain...
