Hi all,
having a custom A/V cabinet built under the wall-mounted plasma; I need some advice on current and future component considerations for shelving and space. Such as:
1) center channel speaker
2) A/V receiver
3) HD satellite box
4) DVD player/recorder
5) future PS3 (grow up fast kids...hehehe)
I won't be a home theater-ophile, so I won't need processors, preamps, etc., but is there anything else anyone can think of I should allocate some space for?
Thanks,
R. |

All I can think of is to make sure you can run power cables, interconnects, and speaker cables separately from each other to avoid any interference that might come about. Yeah I was thinking, no nevermind. |

You may want to leave space for a High def dvd player and a power conditioner. You say your not a home theater-ophile "yet" but you may find yourself knee deep before long. Just leave enough space for a larger center channel speaker if poss. ad also space for more component size (amps,dvd, set top box) pieces and you should be good. |

Leave plenty of space behind the receiver for all the wires. |

Size the shelf spacing, etc to allow for plenty of airflow thru the components... or build in some cooling fans. I did the latter, and I can rest easy knowing my stuff is getting plenty of airflow. |
