|   help with audio shelf ideas | jwd1
Feb 24, 2002 4:33 PM | | Due to the layout of my wall unit, I need to place my center speaker in the cabinet just below my Television, along with my receiver and DVD player. Unfortunately, I only have one built-in shelf, on which the speaker will go. I need suggestions for a movable shelf I can buy so that I won't have to stack my receiver on top of the DVD player in the lower part of the cabinet.
Any ideas would be appreciated. |

Feb 24, 2002 9:22 PM | | if you were to give some dimensions I might be able to help.My first idea is to simply add a shelf with some wooden dowels cut at about 1" or so and drill out holes, insert the dowels which would carry the shelf. |

Feb 25, 2002 1:18 AM | | you can use a half inch birch ply wood cut to the same size as the other shelf and you can mount it with metel shelf clips. but you would have to drill holes in the side of cabinet make sure the holes are level with each other.Or you can screw wood 1by 2 cleats on each side of cabinet and mount shelf on top of the cleats. cleats would be a ledge so the shelf can rest on top of it ledge made from wood. |

Feb 25, 2002 5:54 AM | | I was hoping to take a much easier route than actually installing a 2nd full-length shelf in the cabinet. I really just looking for something big enought to fit over my receiver (17 inches wide) and lift the DVD player up enough (2-3 inches) to provide ventilation space.
Any ideas in that regard would be great! |
