Hey that idea of building their own mobile enclosures for the in-wall M60's is brilliant! This way he keeps the mobility he's looking for, while being able to keep them tight against the wall. This forum really does rock!!!

I have been thinking of selling my M80s for a set of the inwalls just because I have to keep them so close to the wall all the time. I came to the conclusion a nice box built to my own tastes, well my wife's, should be realatively simple or as hard as I want(curved wood anyone?) and I could then stain it to match the new house trim.

Hi Sirquack
I have been thinking about doing this myself. Same reason, to eleminate the black bars on the bottom and top of the screen to give it a more "movie theater" like experience. This would give me more room to geve me other options; such as adding a 2nd VP150 at the top of the screen or just simply dressing the screen up with curtains.
Moving to a 2.35 screen. I have a question though. I don't think my Panasonic PT-AE900 allows me to change 16:9 HD format to the 2.35 format. Are there any other options to do this without replacing the projector?

You can get an anamorphic lens, and a video scaler. The scaler is placed before the projector to remove black bars from 2.35 films and scale them up to fill the full display chip in the projector. This is called vertical stretch. The anamorphic lens then does a horizontal stretch optically to fill the screen.
These two items together will probably cost as much as a new projector which does all of this internally.

You could also project the image on a screen made of Silly Putty and stretch accordingly.

I have been thinking of selling my M80s for a set of the inwalls... Don't sell, upgrade through Axiom. You won't lose much money at all that way. (unless you have a guy on the hook that's willing to pay more than initial cost because you've gone ahead and done a thorough break-in on them)

I would prefer the floor standing M60 but the Cabinets might be an option. I like the floor standing because i want to be able to angle them from time to time to find my sweet spot..... What about placing acoustic panels behind the speakers against the rear wall to reduce reflection?

The suggestion is to build a portable frame for the cabinet. You see the incab's have the front port so you don't need to worry about them being right up against the wall. However if you build a portable frame you could do all of the angling you wanted. It's the best of both worlds in my opinion.

Although it is not the same thing, you can also zoom any projector to get rid of the black bars.

would the front ports create vibrations on the screen? They will probably be 6 to 8" from the screen....
