I decided that I better get the center channel speaker mounted.
I ran two 2x2's up the center of the wall with a 3 inch separation between them. The purpose of the separation is so that the wiring for the center channel will flow down the center column.
I also wanted to provide a sturdy surface to mount the two 19' LCD monitors that go with my desktop computer system.
We'll see down the road if that center channel location works with the finished console area.
Only time will tell...
