On-Wall HT Setup...DIY?

Couple of scratching posts would keep the cats away from your speakers. You could also remove the grills, unless you have kids in the house.

But your IB lacks output so it sux also //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
I ran IB for a while and it was amazing for music, but lacked impact for movies, so I went back to ported.

To save the thread jack: do you have cats or dogs? I have cats and all have front claws removed, so my towers are safe. You will never get very loud/impressive sound out of in/on walls unless you spend a LOT of $$$ compared to decent towers.

I will have both...

I do not want to declaw teh cat.

It still scratches on the couch even with catnip and scratching posts.

Negative. I have plenty of output. 8x 15" and 1000 watts it is moving plenty of air and shaking things in movies. IB blows a big ported enclosure out of the water. You just need to use more drivers, which isn't hard since they are out of the way. I had a huge ported sonosub using a tempest and it doesn't touch the extension and output of my IB.

What I do if I see a cat do something like that is to pick it up and put it by the scratching post and make the same motions with its paws on the rope/cardboard. All but one got the hint that way. And x2 on not declawing cats. They get outside and they're ****ed. Hardly any defense and they sometimes get more agressive.
