Cimarron Falls Cineplex

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.

Sa-weet, Dale! :T
So when can we expect a photo like this? VVV
Just for you Cory!




I guess I'm partly to blame here, aren't I :)....
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

Re: Cimarron Falls Cineplex

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.

Re: Cimarron Falls Cineplex

Axiom Epic 80 with an EP800 sub. Got the bigger VP180 center as well. Can't wait!
Wow! That's a nice little upgrade! Can't wait to hear your opinions on their sound. Sticking with the Def Tech surrounds for now?

Re: Cimarron Falls Cineplex

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.

Under New Management

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:

Re: Under New Management

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.
