Panel Construction - Speaker Panel F

[ ] With the TV still sitting in position grab the SPEAKER PANEL F panel and slide it in above the TV.

Take a piece of 1/2” scrap and hold it up flush on the marquee edge as pictured. Bring the panel forward until it touches the scrap. The bottom-front edge of the panel should be aligned with the bottom corner of the bezel edge. You can eye-ball this so that it looks right.
(See picture. Ignore the top stud location; yours should be along the angled edge, not the top edge as shown.)


If the panel won’t sit between the sides and wants to fall out, put clamps under the panel to support it.

The rear of the panel should be 1/4” up off the TV. Set something about that wide on top of the TV to keep the rear of the panel lifted off.

Mark the location of the speaker panel with a pencil and remove it.

[ ] You should be thinking about how you are going to mount your speakers into PANEL F. Mark the locations of the speakers and cut out the holes that you will need for mounting them.

[ ] Remove the TV and permanently mount the panel into position using L-brackets and 1/2” wood screws. This panel will be painted black with the rest of the interior. (See picture. Ignore the square blocks; yours should be using L-brackets instead.)
