Here is the link you were looking for ...
http://www.hometheatershack.com/foru...ut-window.html ... he used wood, fiberglass and fabric
What I did in my HT to cover the window was a sliding door/panel ... I used 3/4" MDF, painted a a piece of accoustic carpet (you can see the picture here) ... but my window is in the back wall, so I think whta the Prof. did will work better in your sitaution.

... unfortunately I only have two 10" A/C vents upstairs, and the cold air just doesn't seem to keep. I'm thinking I need to apply some weatherproof stripping along the door between the Sunroom, as that little area gets very hot and has no ventilation... so I'm sure there is a lot heat that seeps into theater room. I'm going to try and get someone to come out and re-insulate the crawl space over this room (it was initially an addon built by the previous owner about 15 years ago) so that should help. But any extra ideas here would help out as well....

Don't even mention heat problems ... I live in San Bernardino County, CA couple of week ago we got 110+ F
... and I'm also having heat problems in my HT because the window gets full sunlight in the afternoon and with all the equipment running
All your ideas will help, add stripping to the door to try to isolate the sunroom; I don't know of instead of adding more insulation to the crawlspace adding a vent will help more (you won't have hot air inside that room
).
Do you know if the two 10" vents are outlets (where the air comes out) or one outlet and one return???
If both are outlets, I suggest to add a return (that pulls the hot air to the main unit to recirculate it)
... I know that in this forum is a member that work in A/C's ... he helped me with my heat problem, but I haven't done the job yet
... hopefully he will see this and give you a suggestion
