Hi guys, first time poster and first project that the wife though was a
good idea. I'm looking at building a stereo cabinet into my adjoing
wall with the garage. Dimensions are approx
(W)20in x (D) 24in x (H) 24in. My idea is to open the back of the wall
(garage side) and build off of one stud, cutting the other stud and
framing an opening, the framing will be built to support the cut stud.

Once the opening is made and framed, I was going to build a basic
cabinet out of MDF to slide into the opening and secured to the framed
studs and supported in the rear. I'm not to concerned on the cabicet
because it will be painted and not to visabe on the inside due to the
stereo equiptment and such. The back of the cabinet will be a door to
aid in setting up the wiring and a 4in hole for a cooling fan. Not sure
how to finish the front, molding painted around the opening for a
finished look and maybe a glass door.

Anyways, that is my idea, any other thoughs?

First thought is that you'll have some problems with the Fire
Marshall. There is supposed to be a fire barrier between
the garage and living quarters.
