I would like to put this into a cubbyhole under the TV. Does all the sound come out the front and hopefully nat the sides?

Yes it comes from the front. I find the speakers work better above the TV. The sound carries better. The sound seems to drop off when the speakers are placed under the TV. It makes sense if you think about it. I think the under the TV thing is a marketing ploy by ZVOX to make their system appear coordinated with your TV.

All out the front. Except woofer out the bottom for base. I think it would be fine. R

Shirley, I've looked along the sides and don't find any ports for sound to escape. The speakers are forward-facing. Incidentally, mine supports the weight of my 46" Panasonic plasma without complaint.

Can't be to compact due to the amp that's built in need to have some air space. The sounds do come from the front

As long as it's close to the front edge, it will be fine. Mine is set up similar and works great !

Out the front you do get a surround . Is very well made all wood no plastic

There appears to be a dominant side with more holes for the sound. I put the solid side of the cover over this side. That being said, that side is best but you can still hear the sound on either side. I like the cover better than I thought I would.

In general, a subwoofer does not need to be immediately near the source speakers. I have mine about 10' from the soundbar, which of course is under the TV, and it seems to work very well.

The sound does not go extremely loud. You didn't do anything wrong installing it. I think that is the loudest that this model TV can go. I tried raising the sound with the cable system but that didn't do anything either. I think that it is at a comfortable setting but if you have a loud appliance you might have trouble hearing it over the noise. Quite happy with the tv.

Yes. Not the friendliest of shapes, but this speaker is awesome. I put mine up on a wall mount above and behind the TV, as it was too bulky for the entertainment center cabinet, and I actually prefer the sound with it there.

This is the real problem with having such a large center. Sounds Great but your almost forced to have it underneath your tv. You could get some sort of mount and put it above. Personally mine is below the TV and it doesnt sound as great

Mine is set up with plenty of space on each side, but based on how it's constructed, I can't see that as an issue. The subwoofer is beneath the unit and the primary mid range speakers are in front. If anything, a more confined space may actually enhance the sound. Good luck

No, but the cable box fits perfectly on this. I have mine swiveled so it's flush against the wall. It doesn't stick out too far under the TV.

I'm not sure what you mean by "enclosed wall unit". My flat screen sets on top of the box. It sounds great and projects the sound through out the room. I'm not sure you would get the same results if the box were enclosed?

Yes. I have mine setting in an armoire (enclosed on both sides and back - with ample room between the sides of the armoire and the tv) and the sound is great. Does not dampen or hamper the sound in any way.

It's open towards the bottom so the speakers do come through. It does have tiny speaker holes on the bottom back right hand side. Hope this helps, all in all great product :)

absolutely not. Mine is beside my tv and I have no problem hearing it. This is a terrific heater....

No. It comes with a bracket you can use to mount it to the wall. We chose to set it in front of our TV. It is only 3 in. tall and sits nicely on the shelf unit on which our flat screen TV sits.The sub woofer sits nicely on the floor.

yes I used mine as a center channel speaker about 6 inches directly under the center of tv. no problems

Yes you need a low gain box to go in the wall behind it. You can get it at Home Depot

We have our playbar mounted under our Panasonic 60 inch 3d plasma. It is beautiful. We have it about 3 inches below the tv and it does not interfere with anything. Not sure why u would buy a different mount to save like 10-15 bucks when ur paying for he best ? Love my Sonos set up

My wire box is slightly above and to the side of the mounts and is mostly hidden behind the speakers. To go thru the plate is possible, but a little tricky since it depends on speaker weight and stud support necessity.
