Projector Shelf Ideas

[tilallr1]

I am in the process of planning out building a projector shelf for my Pioneer FPJ1 (JVC RS2 Clone). Now, at present my current setup is inadequate due to my sub being able to shake it. Causing a lot of blur during bass shaking scenes.

So I was hoping you could all help and give some ideas, pictures or designs.

Thanks.

Can you use a ceiling mount?

Yes ... but I like the shelf idea better. I think it looks better and is more out of sight at the back of the room. May not be as bright, but the noise is much lower and contrast is amazing. Also a lot less vertical shift.

Actually, I am at almost 800 hrs on the bulb and my wife is still complaining its too bright at almost 19 ft away. Advantage of a cave I guess.

Mine is on top of a rather large Ikea bookshelf... no problems with my svs nsd12 sitting next to it

If you can't do this, apply the same idea to an "On the wall" application

That looks nice. I was thinking of a hush box, but was concerned about air flow. If my projector has all its ventilation in the front, intake and exhaust should I be ok with the sides enclosed?

Yeah, you could also make openings and frame them in on the sides and bottom with speaker-grill-clothe, and even add a fan if needed. I'm definitely going with some sort of hush box next time, and may even use a kitchen cabinet or other on-the-wall cabinet and modify it, if I can find one that looks nice......

EDIT:

I bet that red glowing thing inside the box is a fan, or reflection off of the fan from a power light on the projector.

Thats a really great idea. Never thought of looking for a on-the-wall cabinet and modifing it. That may make life easier. But the real challenge would be finding one that will work and looks nice. Seen anything so far?

My idea when I eventually get my projector is to do something like this across my back wall. I would hang the microwave cabinet upside down so the opening would be on top and the doors would be on bottom. Most microwave cabinets are 15" deep, but some companies do make an 18" also.

EDIT: The depths should be 21" and 18". Some companies do make a 15" cabinet with a shelf that extends out 6" or so to accommodate the microwave. The shelf is builder installed, so with a little(very little) modification it could be made to work. if the shelf is even needed. Aren't most projectors under 14" deep(front to back)?

Here are some of the ideas I have pulled off the web so far, what do you guys think about these:
