Default New Speakers for the man cave

This is on the second floor of my shop. I made some speakers and mounted them to the ceiling joists. 8 full range 4" speakers on each side and a dual voice coil 12" sub. Sub is powered by a separate 150 watt amp. We also use this area for games for the kids. I crank the stereo when I exercise. I need a bigger TV!

I like how they are tucked up out of the way. I am jealous of the shop, I am trying to get mine up. Maybe some day.

Here is my cave. I have dual Sony and Bose stereo systems with 2 powered subs, and 7 speakers spread out on the fun end of my shop!

Mine is 32"x36" with 14' eves. It was already built when I bought the house. There is a 18" steel I beam that runs the full length of the shop so there is no center support. makes for a very roomy first floor. These pictures are from the previous owner. I have the first floor almost full, Camaro, boat, 3 four wheelers and my bike. I had to leave the Mustang out in the snow only because I wanted some room to work on the bike in the winter. Spring Fever, I tried to drive the Mustang last week but got stuck in the driveway. The snow melted and made the dirveway pure ice.
