Since the speaker is bigger it interfears when lifting the table verticle but not if I use the prop bar inside even still I did not secure it down inside the cabinet for easy moving and the weight of it holds it in place, it has beveld frame so the suspension of the speaker doesnt touch the cabinet. I didnt want to cut a larger diameter hole in my cabinet without knowing if it was even going to work, IT DOES! and it sounds GOOD! Deeper BASS and Clearer all around sound. So then i thought hey I have a really nive full range center speaker maybe I can use that instead of the 2 cheap ass speakers by the display. I snipped the wires coming from the speakers that had a connector on it so I could add wire then route it out of the headboard through a vent hole. When i first hooked up the new speaker it sounded like crap and bareley audible so I took it apart and found a capacitor had came loose from a board...Fixed it! put it back together hooked it up and WOW! just like the cheap woofer in the bottom these better speakers sound much better.I rigged up a way for it to sit ontop the headboard and lean down to project the sound at you, it sounds great and adds some seperation from the woofer in the cabinet giving it a more dynamic sound and feeling when playing. I made it all easy to swap back to stock if I had to but I'll keep it like this till I get bored with it and try something else.</blockquote>
