 you can see the recliners aren't centre'd due to the side doors needing room to open. I could centre them if needed and just utilise one fo the doors i suppose if required. |
I would definitely centre the chairs..otherwise anyone sitting near the wall side is not going to get good surround sound...
The fronts and rears need to be away from the side walls, and with rears preferably up higher...
I would move the pink cabinet (equipment rack I presume) to the corner and mount the surrounds above that cabinet..
The fronts should be at least 15" away from the side walls..
If the picture represents where the screen will be, then it's too high..
In the seated position, your eyes should be approx. 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the screen. Slightly up or down from that for personal preference..

A few weeks ago I got up in the roof and ran speaker cables to all speakers leading back to the rear right corner. I havent layed the RCA for the subs, where can I buy an RCA cable of suitable length (approx 12m)? |
Why use RCA's? RG6 coax is a better connection, particularly for long runs..

Should I hang pictures in the room or leave the walls bear? |
Personal preference again...Ive had it both ways and preferred in the end to not have any..I found them distracting when watching a movie..

Lighting !!! - the only light I have is in the cnr of the room above the equipment cabinet, I did this on purpose when i biult the house as I couldn't commit to what lighting i wanted in the room and still cant decide, I dont want to spend a lot of money but want it to look classy at the same time. |
If you don't have soffits where you could have downlights, I would consider sconce lighting on the walls..
