Meh. <a href="https://flic.kr/p/DDmqFJ" target="_blank"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4546/24707896048_acb7b318a4_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> The couch is pushed off the wall in this shot.  It’s pretty much dead center between the speakers now that it’s up against the wall. <a href="https://flic.kr/p/21Mh116" target="_blank"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4533/38581056661_9af922a52c_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="https://flic.kr/p/21Jq1aN" target="_blank"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4518/38548668632_0f4cc0d0b5_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> This is a 7.1 plate, but I only ran 5.1 at this time.  I don’t really have a place for the other two speakers.  Though, the Onkyo receiver I have can transmit to those speakers as “other room” speakers so they play the full range, instead of the surround noises.  But, I doubt I will ever do that at this house. <a href="https://flic.kr/p/ZqLC7M" target="_blank"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4574/37692638105_59f9b037fb_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> This is what I mentioned earlier.  The subwoofer RCA cable to Coax, or the option of using it as a +/- sub. <a href="https://flic.kr/p/21Jxcq9" target="_blank"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4534/38550072252_516acdb9f8_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> The front left.  Good shot of the Ethernet cables too. Finally, the boss also picked up these awesome bar stools!  Really goes well with the rest of the theme of the house!<a href="https://flic.kr/p/Zrwvv2" target="_blank"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4566/37701200775_bc7423d426_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Thanks for looking!</blockquote>
