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

also  @yogiboy I meant no hard-balling about 2 or 3 ways, I don't know much about speaker design.

@grislybutter ,

Think you meant your last post to go in another thread. Probably a less silly one.

Great answers!! If you do cut them down, don’t worry about those two brass colored round things sticking out the back or the other funny looking electronic things connected to them probably just on the other side of them, they’re not really that important.

The front of listening area almost done.

Cutting out the wall to accommodate the speakers cannot be done it's exterior wall and it's 2 degrees outside currently.  I wish I could do it though.
