There was no contaminate, and it wasn't applied too fast. There was 2 coats of Kilz 2 primer, then 2 coats of Behr's most expensive primer/paint combo.

I can see the headlines now:

"Behr Kilz Dr Pepper"

Here's a picture of the 2 walls I painted Candy Apple Red. The door and trim doesn't go on until next weekend.





This picture shows a bit more yellow that what I'm looking at in real life.

She was watching the birds out of the window to the left. I have a picture of that, but didn't upload it to photobucket.

Edit: LOL, I just saw your modification.

Got the money now to buy 3 more black M22's with wall mounting brackets, which I'll do soon, and the Panasonic 65 inch VT50 when they become available. Now to decide where and when to buy one. I'll feel more comfortable buying one from BB than from Amazon.

I ordered 3 black M22's with wall brackets and speaker wire this morning. That makes a total of 5 black M22's and 1 black in-cabinet VP160. I'll have my better wall of sound with 65 inch Tv some day soon.

I'm thinking of using a 1x4, with sanded edges, primed and painted the same color as the wall, that's as wide as the TV. Mount this board to the wall above the TV, them mount the 3 speakers to this board, with wires disappearing into the wall behind the speakers. May do similar for the 2 M22's below the TV on 2 smaller boards. This would also give me a little more wiggle room to aim the speakers toward the listening position.

Should I get a particular type of wood for this that would hold screws more securely under stress that other wood?
