Keep the Sound Quality While Enclosing the Speaker This is great and all, as long as you are okay sacrificing the quality of your audio in the process. Regardless of how speakers are hidden, people go to great lengths so that they can listen to their audio while covering up the not-so-great-look of their much-needed speakers. It is also not uncommon to see speakers shoved in the ceiling, put in-floor (not recommended for those with concrete slabs), placed in a cabinet, and housed behind a false wall-sometimes plastered and painted over and covered with acoustic fabric. Yes, slight alterations to placement within a room can make dramatic improvements to the overall sound, but for your friend’s spouse, this is non-negotiable because the speakers and subwoofer are “eye-sores” and do not fit in with the shabby chic decor. By doing so, the fake plants are provided with the best sound experience in the house and everyone else with a marginal sound experience. We have all been to that one friend’s house who has his speakers hiding behind fake plants and his subwoofer buried under a recliner.

Wherever a speaker can be found there is bound to be audio, but is it great audio? Are your speakers hidden, or an eye-sore? Some are inconspicuously placed in flower beds while others are craftily placed in a vehicle’s trunk. Some are in living rooms while others are in large auditoriums. Speakers are the lifeblood of any audio system.
