Greetings
I have pretty much decided to get GIK room treatments for my basement, due to it being concrete and tiled floor I have quite alot I need to do. At this moment I have total control of length due to wall lockers that measure 4x2x6 but I am stuck with 12' width and 93" height....
Im planning to go with GIK at this moment, I have had a great conversation with Bpape and Im planning on getting kit #1 & #4, this with cover up pretty much front & back wall and leave me three locarions for side reflections. Also this will put me at a min price that keeps me from paying shipping.
I plan on running 7.2, I have dual PBU's and Im running Onix RS-450's x 4 and Im going to have SVS SSS for side surrounds.
Im confused with room measurement though. At this time my room is 25' 9" long, and if I use the 38% rule this means I need to sit 116" from the front wall or back. If I use the front wall, then that means Im around 7' from my speakers...without having everything set up this seems aweful close...and this will be giving my RS450's only 18" or so of room "to breath".
The center of my room is 154.5" and I have both of my PBU's "as of this moment" centers on the side walls. Using this setup I will have to place my SSS just in front of the PBU's center of measurent.....my second row of seating will acrually be behind my side surrounds for I do not want the loveseat to be in the center of the room "which should be a huge null correct?"
Im just looking for ideas, as I mentioned earlier I can shrink or increase the size of the room, I was trying to keep it at say 21-23-25 feet long sue to my width being 12'....is there an optimum lenght or setting? I noticed in the GIK room kit pictures it seems the couch is in the back 38" not the front???? Im just trying to have some questions answered before I set this up and have to start testing placement and measureing with REW and such.
Im sure more questions will come as after I hit submit....
