[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 1014184, member: 517"] A cabinet is not the best place for a speaker, but it is practical. I keep my centre under the TV in the cabinet, also rear ported, there are a few things you can do to get it to sound its best. Firstly, make sure the driver/front of the speaker is at, or even beyond, the lip of the cabinet and make sure the cabinet is open to the back. Do your best to decouple the speaker from the cabinet, place it on a material like sorbothane, to avoid sympathetic mechanical noise being generated by the cabinet. Lastly, fill the space between the speaker and the cavity with some sound absorbent material, to avoid that "boxy" sound. [/QUOTE]
