Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum, but I thought I would put a post out there and see if I can get some opinions from some home theatre veterans.
My wife and I are building a new house (well the developer is) and I want to make the room over the garage our home theatre. I pushed the builder to allow me to run wiring, he wasn't to keen on that, but will allow me to run conduit, which I'm fine with so I plan to run flexible conduit in the room before the walls go up.
Attached is a picture of an initial sketch I have done of the room.
My plan is to have the first row of seating be at about 11' and the 2nd row at about 15'. What do people think about that in 22x15 room? By calculations would the sweet spot for screen size be 106" or 120" ( I was thinking around 106" - 16:9 screen)
I'd love some advice on the room setup as well as the wiring.
-Would I be best to do in ceiling and in wall speakers for the 7.1 setup?
-Is my room setup ideal or should I look at a different orientation?
-Anything to watch out for?
-For running the conduit, aside form the conduit and gang boxes what should I be looking to purchase?
- Looking at a conduit run for the speaker wires around the front and back of the room as well as a larger conduit room to the projector mount.
-This room will have a ceiling fan and I'm concerned about the projector mount. What are some good reasources to look at for the projector mount distance. Also at the mount location the ceiling will 10' and will have to be mounted lower then the fan, is that an area of concern?
Thanks for what I'm anticipating great feedback. As you can tell I'm quite excited about this project.
