Re: DIY Home Theater Project


Here's some more pictures of the room under construction. I stuffed the stage and seating platform full of pink insulation to stop any resonance. It sounds pretty solid when I thump on it now and not like a drum.





I put Roxul Safe n Sound in the ceiling and any wall that didn't face concrete. I would have put it everywhere but the wife stepped in and cut my budget. The door pictured is a Safe n Sound solid code door. It was also my first attempt at hanging a door. Since it's heavy it needs 3 hinges. Eventually it will be sealed. The furnace room will get a similar heavy door.




Here's a shot of the front receptacles. I ran conduit under the subfloor and up through the ceiling for the speaker wire and projector cable(s). I used the grey Carlon stuff. I ran cat5e and RG6 coax through the ceiling as well along with a phone line. The power outlet shown is a dedicated 20amp circuit.


The orange boxes are for low voltage and work perfectly for their intended use here. The projector has a dedicated 15amp circuit (overkill I know).


This shot shows my new best friend in yellow. Hanging drywall on the ceiling is a lot easier with a lift and can be done by one person.
