Re: 1KW System
Here are a few pictures of my medial room set up before the built in is installed. All the electronics are in the 2 channel room. Waiting for shutters to be installed in the media room and a built in around the TV and to hide the sub.

Re: 1KW System
That's a gorgeous system!
If I might ask, how do you keep those amps cool? I don't see a lot of air space around them.

Also there are holes cut in the right rear corner of each shelf to allow the wires to be managed with space for air to escape. Hard to tell from the pictures but I have a few inches of space top and sides of each amp
