Here, better drawing. The dots are also screws.













/e The 1x12's and the 1x8 are all 24" long. The 1x2's make w/e height suits your fancy.





https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-in-x-12-in-x-4-ft-Pine-Common-Board-458503/100322335 <---- cut into 2x 24" long pieces

Cut this one into a 24" long piece and cut the rest of it into 1' x 2" for the legs





The other END of it, looks like this. :D











1. First make the L shaped piece from a 1x8 and one of the 1x12's. Use probably 12 screws and glue for the 90 degree joint.
2. When that's dry use the other 1x12 and the 1x2's and assemble to suit your fancy.
3. You can easily change the angle of the shelf part (L shaped part) by where you attach it to the 1x2 legs. This is dirt cheap, and plenty strong enough.





Here, this should give you brain damage. :lol:

I don't think i have the tools required to make a stand with metal sadly. looks interesting though.

Looking at monitor risers. but all are a bit too short. need at least 10 inch riser... perfect stand height would be like 10 inches to 12 inches.

I am thinking something like this and can paint it... simple lol

Can add these to angle the speaker up a bit

Either a wooden stand or maybe some pipe speaker stand with metal or pvc pipes.

You can cut aluminum extrusions with a table saw, miter saw, circular saw, or just about anything really.

He's fairly toolless. :(



He could just get one of these if height isn't an issue....

/e Or just get a 1/4" diameter metal rod, like 8 ft. long and bend it like this....













The Center speaker (the speaker in question), looks like this....



Dimensions: 8" H x 23.5" W x 12.5" D

I would just put the center speaker on top of the wide thing under the screen. Move the left and right speakers back a bit, and don't turn it up so loud. :)
It looks kind of weird with all the speakers sitting out in the room.

yea i know it does not look that great like that... but that wall behind screen is another room, neighbor sadly lol... thats why i didnt hook up my subwoofer. but by moving speakers further away it makes it so i don't turn up volume as loud cause they are closer to me.

to make it look a bit better, id like to lower the center speaker and angle it up. but also the "wide thing" is ikea besta tv stand. but that ikea stand is like 19inch tall. and the bottom black bar of the projector screen is 21.5 inch from floor. so if i put the speaker on top of it, then it will block part of the screen. i could remove the feet from the ikea stand but would rather not.

A couple of those heavy quilts, hung on the wall would do some serious sound proofing for you.
I guess the screen is too much of a hassle to raise some?



/e


You could build the one in post # #11941

They can make all the cuts at Home Depot. You can make the height w/e you want.



Or even the one in #11944




But I like this idea the best... width is adjustable

15 in tall center stand is what i have now, bit too high.
the projector is ceiling mounted. the ceiling fan is in the way if i raise the screen. i already removed the light fixture from the fan to give more room.
thanks for ideas, still looking through them

closest ones to being around good height i think: looks like 11 in tall? other same brand ones are 15 inch... hope not a typo

6.5 in tall a bit too short maybe :[
