The small area below the window is where the B&W ISW4 in wall sub will live. Looks nice now that the BIG back box is mostly covered! It will produce a lot of clean multi-note bass from a seemingly small space.

Here are the latest photos showing the beginnings of the NEW fireplace.  Also the alcove we created to house the TV.

Also, check out the back box for the B&W ISW4 in wall subwoofer.

The B&W ISW4 In-wall subwoofer will be hidden for the most part. But look at this back box, this product means business!

As you can see, over the past few days we have gotten a lot done.  The area was completely separated from the rest of the home to control and contain the construction mess within our work space. The wall and old case work were removed and the new wall was framed.  You can see the recessed area for the TV has been framed and the MIT HDMI cable was placed. Back boxes for the B&W Bowers & Wilkins Sig 8NT  were places and installed and the MIT speaker wire for the 3 front speakers was installed.  We also cut the whole and wired to the subwoofer location. That back box will be installed next week

The B&W ISW4 back box will fill the whole under the window. Wait until you see the finished look on the subwoofer. It will be very small and hard to notice in the room but will rock the bass!
