The covers look great. One word of caution, I put a cover on my Audio Desk without draining it and didn't use it for 2-3 weeks, and it developed a moldy smell. Draining it and replacing filter and rollers took care of it, but now I only put the OEM cloth on top, and drain it if I'm not going to use it for more than a week or two.

Sweet!!! I have a medium room also (13.5 x 12.5) and thought it was actually sonically a good fit but honestly it was too big in the physical dimensions….. that’s why I’m going with the in wall subs. My room is still under construction

That looks like a major reconstruction Jeff. Any surprises when walls were “undressed”? What are you using for inwall subs?

Agreed. No such thing as "over the top" while you have gone this far and more importantly, everything is opened up.

Lookin' Good!
