Tommy,

The arrangement in your picture is fine if you’re using a 5.1 system (which I assume you are – didn’t see a rear center speaker on the floor). The pictures everyone has posted have to do with 6.1 or 7.1 systems (although the one with the two rear speakers next to each other would be pretty silly for a 7.1 arrangement).

I expect that the rears will be mounted near the top of the wall? A little tip from a former pro installer: invert them. Putting the tweeters on the bottom will put them closer to ear-level, which will improve imaging and apparent high frequency response.

Also, I hope that’s not where your final seating will be (the folding chairs). If so, it’s too close to the rear speakers. The way it is now, you’re going to hear the rear speaker closest to you virtually exclusively, and the farther one virtually not at all.

Regards,
Wayne
