[QUOTE="ziva, post: 277843, member: 14133"] [not sure why I cant edit my previous posts but NOTE that when cutting the trunking that goes up the wall: ensure that it ends just under the bottom of the cornice]. STEP 7: Connect the speakers and place the speakers on the stands. This is a good way to check that the cable will reach the speakers once done and that you have some allowance to move/reposition the speaker later on. Remove the speakers and use masking tape to tape the cables in place [IMG]http://www.uploads.co.za/files/qssl7auk32i50das0nkj.jpg[/IMG] STEP 8: Route the cables in the trunking and close it. STEP 9: Determine the types of cuts that are needed to fit the cornice. Then cut the cornice using a fine tooth saw (32 teeth) and a mitre box. Double check your measurements. Measure from the bottom of the cornice. e.g. id the wall is 1m and you are doing outside cuts, then the bottom of the cornice must be 1m and the top would be automatically adjusted when you do the cuts. There are essentially 4 cuts you can get and all are 45 degree cuts. 1. Inner Right 2. Inner Left 3. Ourside Right 4. Outside Left The cornices are ususally joined at 2 x 45 degree cuts (i.e. inner Right and inner Left) but there is another way of joining called a coping joint. (not sure if I spelt that correct). A coping join is basically a join where one piece is straight at the joint and the other is a 45 deg cut (R or L depending on the side). To do a coping join, do the 45 degree cut first. Then turn over the cornice and shave the profile, almost like hollowing out the back of the cornice. You shave off just enough so that when mounted it fits flush over the straight cut. TIP: Cutting the cornices are the biggest challenge and a pain in the ass at first. (will post pics on how to cut soon). You can search on you tube for vieos on how to cut these. [/QUOTE]
