Here are some pics for you guys!

I decided to reframe the windows as you can see...

Also is the start of cabinets with lighting! :)

    The subs are tight -- they dig to about 25hz, but they are on par with the speakers as far as depth, accuracy and staging. They are a notch or two tighter than the VMPS subs they replaced.

    The racks are made by Lovlan (I think that is the name) I just searched for amp racks and they came up.

    I got tired of the VTI racks - they are built like crap compared to the Lovlan gear.

    The super towers are a lot taller than I thought they would be. I can only imagine the sound you are getting now compared to your old listening room.

    Yeah the Super Towers are incredibly tall...

    The sound is similar to what the 7u sounded like at Ted's -- but with far more control and definition. Particularly in the higher octaves.

    But as far as height, width, etc - definitely like Ted's --- but the detail and everything is far more prominent.

    I originally had the speakers on the other side of the subs and it sounded like I was still in my old bedroom. So then I moved them on the side they are now and man it sounds... phenominal.

    Those are the wall shelves - I think he meant the floor shelves...

    Either way, those wall shelves are baller. I really like how they swivel for easy access to the back.

    I should have one cabinet done tomorrow (or near done) - I will post more pics then!

    Well that is if I can find my camera charger!

    How'd you get the Xbox power supply and DVI/HDMI cables terminated?

    On my Xbox 360 the power brick has a proprietary cable.

    three words

    Bulk Cable Plate


    cabinet lighting is a ****! I guess it wouldnt be to bad if you didnt recess them and try to make it a real nice clean install...

    Unfortunately I did this - took 13 hours to assemble one cabinet in rough form.

    I still have to frame it out and overlay some of the panels I used screws on with 1/8" plywood to clean it up -- but all the wires are tucked away and the pucks are recessed into the cabinet...

    Not to mention is built like a TANK! :-D Just the way I like it. I will try to get some pics for you guys soon.

    Saw your new crib today when I met up with Tom.

    Brought back memories of when I bought my 1st house! Congrats and I know you will enjoy the completed work of art. All that hard work will pay-off soon. Good job!
