Shrink Totem 1's?


Hello 

New here. I have a pair of Totem 1's which have been in storage for a few years, in order to get them to fit on my bookshelf I plan to cut them with table saw and take about 4" of depth away. These are rears and space is limited.  I have low expectations on the outcome but I'll keep this post updated as what materializes with this project.  PS these are about 5/10 condition so not too worried about the outcome. Also fronts and center are all Totem (in better condition). Wish me luck. Thanks

Cut the speakers like you said, but instead of discarding the rear sections just use them to extend your shelves. That way your speakers fit without needing to be cut.

@skolbrother I recommend cutting the front of the speakers off. If you cut the back the speakers will not have binding posts anymore and you will not be able to connect them.
