Yesterday I finally got the wire run through the attic crawling on my belly through insulation. True to my procrastinating nature, I did not get up there first thing in the morning, I waited until 2:00 pm. Lucky me, we are having seasonally hot weather yesterday and today lower to mid 90's, so it was 115º when I started and 119º when I finished. I spent about 20 mins. in a cold shower afterwords.
Here are some pics of the finished job.

This does not look very different than the photos of the speakers on the 8' stands, But in person it sure as h#!! does!

My DIY bracket at work. Hmmmmn, I know the brackets would hold the weight, maybe I should mount the M60's there to test as backs!
(just kidding, i wouldn't drill holes in 'em).

We did a lot of outside the box thinking about what to try for backs once I decided the QS8's did not work there to my liking.
Scroll down. How about this for a back 7.1 speaker?

I mounted a VP150.
The sound did not fit for me, but it would 'look' impressive.
PS, Hey Randy, I finally figured out how to shrink the pics down on Photobucket! No more PITA scrolling back and forth to read SOB Dave's posts. hah!
