[QUOTE="Flipx99, post: 2141576, member: 562352"] It takes a lot of experimenting to learn that however. To describe install is key; here are some good pointers: 1) ensure dimesions are accurate before cutting, draw it out on the board. Then label them so you won't recut a board intended for one purpose. 2) before cutting build the box and such out of cardboard or something to ensure everything will fit. In my experience, on-the-fly adjustments don't work out well. 3) Don't make anything permanet before cutting. Use velcro, tape, etc to 'mock-up' speaker placement to a) see what sounds best and b) see if it will even fit. 4) Take your time and bring a friend. I am very book smart, but I lack much 'common sense' I miss a lot of small things which make installs go bad. My friend is dumb as a brick in school but notices things like gluing the wrong panel to the wrong side etc. In sum, pay attention to the small things when doing your install as these things add up to matter the most.
