This Lee Weiss' single PE DVC 15" IB. He'll be adding a second driver on the backside in the future. At some point I'm sure he'll send in a photo of the outlet.

The outlet of the IB is centered above his RPTV

Scott S's dual Tempest IB. I've included several pictures of his IB since they do a nice job of  detailing the installation.

A hole was cut in the drywall.  The box was inserted and is held in place with "L" brackets attached to the ceiling joists. The joint is sealed with caulk.

The grill is held in place with banana plugs. This is an clever idea. I'd suggest the use of Fastex fasteners. They are inexpensive and have considerable holding power.

The result is a very clean looking install.

Paul W's dual 24" Hartleys.

Construction is a 2"X4" frame skinned with 3/4" MDF. Placement is vertical, (horizontal placement isn't a good idea with these particular drivers) on a flat wall at the end of a room with a cathedral ceiling.

Although Paul liked the performance of these drivers for music playback, he had problems with the VC's bottoming during high SPL DVD soundtrack playback. As a result he replaced the manifolds with a dual manifold each containing 9 PE DVC 15". Those are shown on page 4 of the gallery.
