Looking to put some inwall speakers in (knowing the compromises that I am making using inwalls [they will be fully enclosed cabinets] ). I need to modify the studs in the wall so that I can place them at the "best" location (6-8 inches to the right and left of the plasma as it is mounted now). Because it is a weight bearing wall, I know I can't just cut studs and leave them.
So here is what I am looking to do:
The red areas show the current stud construction. The purple areas show what will be the new stud construction (with headers and jack studs). The outside headers. All of the headers will be constructed with 2x6-plywood-2x6 sandwich (or maybe 2x8 for over kill).
Behind this wall is a closet (which is where my rack is recessed into), so I am going to be doing all of the work from the "closet" side of the wall and know exactly where the electrical is located (no pipes).
Any thoughts, comments, suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian
