The attached file shows my first stab at a floor plan for my new home theatre. I saw on one of your videos that the ideal place to have seats is 38% of total distance. The next best is 38% from back wall. As you can see, I came pretty close to that with both rows of seating. However, this makes the room pretty large, with wasted space at back. Is there any way to decrease size of room. If not, what would be the affect if I build two equipment rooms in the back corners?

What would the recommended ceiling height for this room be? What would be the estimated cost to install the correct real trap products for this room?

I read in a Home Theatre design book (A to Z Dedicated Home Theatre Handbook) that you need a wood sub floor to help with base. If you don’t build the subfloor you might need a second subwolfer or you will loose some base. The subfloor is made by laying 2” X 4” studs flat on their sides and covering with ¾” plywood, which leaves a 1 ½” air space. Is a subfloor really required.

I would welcome any suggestions that you might have.

I could not get the picture file down below 2okb. So I zipped it, but thin it would not let me upload a zipped file. I don't know how to get the picture up.


Thanks
