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

@thecarpathian @audphile1 given that we still don't know what it is (what is on picture #1) we don't know if it can look better devil

 

Listen, anyone who’s gonna ruin perfectly good speakers by going through the trouble of sawing them in half, and  somehow re-attaching the back and connectors instead of simply getting a bigger shelf is a trailblazer, a pioneer! @skolbrother , way to think outside the box, or the half box, or whatever. 

Oh wow thanks for the great responses. I'm totally rethinking this project. 

The JBL Classic l52 fit the space opting for the orange covers. Just can't see myself removing the covers while listening to them. These seem a little over priced but could work, any opinions on them? A few pairs on the net now for sale already broken in. If I go this route I'd want fronts to match..

My mighty Totems might end up in the basement listening room untouched.

Decisions decisions..

Get a pair of wall or ceiling mounts from Amazon. Shouldn't cost more than about $20 each. Get classy and run the cables into the wall/ceiling and out to your amp. Get a set of fiberglass wiring 'Fish Sticks' from harbor Freight for about $12 or rig your own. Easy.
