| Crown molding | Sign In/Join |
My husband recently started doing crown molding and just came across a problem. The speakers are to close to the walls and were not sure if there's a way around it without moving the speakers. Any suggestions? | |||

If you can't relocate the speaker you can do a return to the wall on both sides of the speaker. Sight unseen I'd opt to move the speaker out of the way. Here is a "return" in crown molding.

Thank you! Unfortunately where the speakers are it wouldn't look good to stop. I guess he will have to relocate the speakers. | ||||

Unless you are short of wire I would probably just drop the speakers to the bottom of the crown molding. | ||||

Moving would be my first choice. I had a return situation in a townhouse I owned years ago. The air return vent was above a closet door in the entry way and it was too close to the ceiling to put the crown over it, so they did the return on both sides of the vent.
