Speaker Box "How too?"
Just picked up some Polk Speakers. One LCiC and 2 X LC65i and 2 X LC80i, on recommendation of a friend. Putting in my walls in the basement soon. Basement still at Framing Stage and Drywalling in the next week (I hope). My buddy told me not to worry about the enclosure, he said I could make them myself, think he has higher hopes abolut my skill then I do... I did pick up the Brackets.
First, I am assuming the LCiC should be at the head hight level in the wall too where you are sitting and watching the TV... is this the best place? If I put it above (where the Plasma is going) where I thought, it will be about 7' above the floor...Is this too high?
Second, trying to find info about what these encloser boxes are supposed to be like for the 5 X Speakers and how to build them... Looked on the web how to make them and too many things pointing me in different directions. If someone has made an enclosure box for any of these speakers, any help would be great....
thanks for any help

Try to get the center and mains tweeter at ear level when you are seated. Call Polk for air space size needed, I would use about 3/4 cu ft on the fronts and 1 cu ft on the rears, but Polk may have an exact spec. I did not make a box, just 2 2x4s in the wall to make a cavity and some insulation.
