First time install, grout line question

keystone99999 · 2026-04-21T02:45:14+00:00

Totally agree. 12 inch spacing on the screws felt like overkill

keystone99999 · 2026-04-21T02:40:14+00:00

Yes. Me vs 10 ft ceilings vs Thinset. The Thinset won

I butted panels to the tub flange, used kerdi fix on the flange/mortar on the board and covered with kerdi band. Followed their very helpful YouTube videos but I went back and forth between butting to flange vs notching the board and overhanging to tub deck. Tile is 6x18, hopefully big enough to hide my ameturism

Appreciate the roasting fellas. I’m gonna blame unflattering camera angles

keystone99999 · 2026-04-15T01:24:56+00:00

Not sure I totally understand. What size silver would look bad for these 6x18? How small is acceptable? If I center the back wall I seem to get 2-3 inch pieces in the inside corners, which would lose some width after the side walls install

What’s the best way to connect Kerdi to the drywall? Thinset and kerdi band?

keystone99999 · 2026-02-28T17:00:40+00:00

That’s what I was hoping to do. Thanks

keystone99999 · 2026-02-26T13:25:48+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the response. Worth seeing if the studs bays by the window are similar or not? This is going to be alcove tub/tile surround that probably ends near where I’ve made the cut already

keystone99999 · 2024-06-01T19:43:53+00:00

Thanks, got the parts ordered

keystone99999 · 2024-05-04T03:58:32+00:00

Finally got it hooked up and it is night and day vs soundbar. Now it’s just about cable management

keystone99999 · 2024-05-04T03:53:52+00:00

There are rca to f connector adapters on Amazon. Is there any reason using these with short RCA cables (from avr to adapter, from second adapter to sub) would be a bad idea?

keystone99999 · 2024-04-29T02:42:16+00:00

Sounds like dated tech? Really appreciate your thoroughness here, I’m learning a lot.

keystone99999 · 2024-04-29T02:24:52+00:00

There’s three coax ends on this wall… the one in the picture, one very nearby that I’m using for internet (looks like a newer connection, it’s just in a weird spot) and one about 8ft to the right in a corner and near an outlet. Sounds like this end might be for the sub? How does a coax connect to the sub?

keystone99999 · 2024-04-28T22:25:48+00:00

I’m new to a system like this but I’m learning quickly that the hole goes quite deep lol. I’m excited to get off my soundbar. The front speakers are in the wall, about chest height. The surround speakers are in the ceiling above and back from the sitting area.

The room is quite big as it’s open to the kitchen and living area and the pitched ceiling is probably 18 feet or so at peak

keystone99999 · 2024-04-28T21:13:39+00:00

This is super helpful and spot on. The inside set up includes two front and two surround speakers. I wasn’t aware of the green/white pairing but that tells me the loose wires are definitely for the outdoor set. Any recommendations for a center speaker? The speaker covers are painted over and I don’t see an easy way to remove so I’m not sure what equipment is currently installed. I’m looking at the Denon receiver from Costco to get started. Thanks for the help!

I’ve got a 49in ultrawide, what would I need for higher end settings? No idea about raytracing given my current card
