Stealthy 7.2 In-Wall HT Install

by CWalker

When this HT project began, I envisioned a complete in-wall system which was non cluttered and off limits to my little ones overly curious hands, fingers, feet etc. I wanted no "sounding" furniture as I have always had been accustomed. However, I did not want to give up the sound quality that is typical with most in-wall set-ups. The Polk in-wall's did not disappoint! Please note that I am not a professional installer- just an average DIY'er that has always loved to wire crap up! So please dont be too critical!
