Soffit Construction

Hi John,
Can I leave the top part of the soffit wall open or should I extend it all the way up. In my case the top part will not be visible anyways since I am constructing an angled fake ceiling from the top of the window to the middle of the room. I was thinking of leaving it open so the heat from the monitors could disipate from the top and bottom.
Please check the attached drawing for detail.
Regards,
luis.

Luis - I'd run it up to the top but leave a small openning for the heat to get out.

small.....how does 2" x 2" sounds?
Another soffit related question?
Does the timber finish for the soffit face needs to be smooth? (like a sheet of plywood) or can it have small groves. I found this timber material used for decorating a wall. I can joint 3" wide pieces together and it will look very nice but I am not sure if the small groves will cause a problem.
Cheers,
Luis.

How about 6" x 4" ?? the gooves are fine luis, was very popular in the 70s to have hard wood V jointed which is similar to what you are using.

You got that right ! I think that is my 5th box of 12 already.
The width of the control room is 13' the front wall from soffit to soffit is 9'.
