This thread is actually a merging of two other threads. My original Cimarron Falls Cineplex idea and a construction thread that shows the changes as they have evolved. I came back to this original post in hopes of showing a time line of the changes. So, here is where I was and where I am currently.
As of 3/28/2010:
As of 12/10/2010:
Added an inwall cabinet, projector and 110" screen.
As of 2/7/2011:
Removed the inwall cabinet and built a closet in the back of the room:
Sheet-rocked over the window:
Flipped the room and put the screen on the opposite wall and added the Axiom Epic 80 7 channel speaker set with an Axiom EP800 sealed sub.
Still going to add a riser in the coming weeks as well as new carpet, re-paint the whole room so the color is even and finally add some professional acoustic treatments. More to come...
As of 10/10/2011:
Finished adding the riser, carpet and closet; all of which can be seen in other parts of the thread but here are the completed picks.
Partly to blame? Partly to blame?!! That is one way of putting it, of course Tina had a much more "colorful" way of putting it. :bigsmile: By the way Dave, she loves it! :T
I really need to invest, or at least borrow, a better camera than my iPhone. Here are the latest pictures, I really do plan to re-take with a better camera. There are also a few changes I need to make to get the cables off of the floor, just not sure how I am going to get them where they need to be yet.
No, I'm replacing them all. Axiom QS8's for the surrounds. The only down side is that it will be another week or so. I'm going to do a full fledged review on them as well. Gonna be a long week waiting for them though. I built a center stand for that monster VP180.
Well I updated some of the gear in Decemeber such as a projector and new receiver, but now that I have the new speakers coming, I thought it was time to make a couple of more drastic changes I have been putting off. Saturday kicked off a two week project to get it all done. I am flipping the room so that the screen is on the opposite wall and removing the in-wall cabinet I built 7 months ago and adding a closet that is 2'X4'.
Here are the before and after Visio's: Before:
After:
So one of my best friends showed up with his trusty framing gun and we went at it. On Saturday we finished framing the new 5'X2' closet. Of course when I say "We", I mean Steve did 95% of it, that why I was able to get so many pictures!
Sunday I re-ran all of the cables and hung the sheetrock on the outside of the closet. I hope to be finished patching the holes and have the room ready for paint by Tuesday.
I plan on insulating the closet and closing it in Wednesday or Thursday and install the gear in the closet. Next weekend I plan to build the new riser and then have the carpet guys sometime late next week. Short time frame, but I work best under pressure! Once completed, I plan to rename the room if I can think of something clever.
And to think, this all started because the rear right surround speaker was going to be five degrees out of spec...... :rolleyesno:
It's a great idea and a small one would be better than none. Thanks Prof. I'll get it worked I to the plan. I already have the materials so it definitely won't hurt.
