I'm needing a way to access the area behind each side of the proscenium where the left and right speakers and subwoofer will be located. I'm planning on building sections out of 2X2's or 2X3's and covered with GoM so that the speakers are not visible. Each panel will be about 3 1/2' wide and about 7 1/2' high, extending from the top of the stage to the ceiling. I don't want there to be an obvious access panel in the middle of the GoM.
What I'm thinking of is something like a swinging door that will allow them to pivot out from one side. I don't want the hinges to be visible, so I'm thought something like bolts through the top and bottom plates into the ceiling and stage - mounted as close to one end as possible. With a couple of large washers on the bolts between the ceiling and stage would form a workable pivot. Maybe some form of bushings hammered into the top and bottom plates for the bolts to pass through would help. The only problem I see with this idea is that I don't know how to adjust it to get everything plumb.
Any ideas on hardware that might work for this? Or other suggestions on how to get behind these proscenium panels for occasional access to the speakers?
Thanks!
