Manifold Opening Obstuction

[mmoeller]

I was planning on installing dual manifolds with 2x15"s each in the front wall of my theater. I would also like to be able to have curtains hanging on either side and across the top of my screen. I am wondering how much heavy curtains will effect the frequencies that will be produced by the manifolds?

I sure I wouldn't have to worry if I could place them without obstruction, or only a AT proscenium. However the size of the screen and limited width may cause an issue.

They will muffle and block the output from the sub. So not recommended.

Ya. I figured that was the case.
