  1. Home Theater Design and Construction
    I have been looking around for some pics to help me design the front of my HT.... Cant find exactly what I am looking for. This is what I am working with: I have a Room over the garage. it is 12' wide by 18' and the ceilings are kind of vaulted. There is a window in the front of the room. I...
  2. Home Theater Design and Construction
    Let me start by saying I know the room is WAY smaller than ideal, but I have no other options. I am looking for input on the speaker placement with my current wall configuration as I do not have the room to precisely follow the Dolby Atmos guidelines and none of the walls can be moved. Since a...
  3. Ported Subwoofer Build Projects
    **This sub will be used 100% for a Home Theater, not music** ****He did inquire about some JBL, Klipsch, QSC Cinema Speakers but I asked him to wait for "forum member feedback first". DIY would save a lot of money. So, my friend is driving me nuts. He's not completely satisfied with the bass...
  4. Home Theater Design and Construction
    I have an electrician fixing some problems in my house. He's gonna add a sub panel to straighten out some overloaded lines, so I thinking it is the perfect time to pull some more dedicated lines. So how many do you guys think I should putt. I told him to add another one in the equipment room...
  5. Home Theater Design and Construction
    Some of you know my dedicated panel but for those you don't you can click the link in my signature to get some details. A quick run down is I pulled in 8 dedicated outlets to an outlet box behind my rack each on a 120v 20A breaker. One feeder was pulled in using #4 cable, three using #8, three...
  6. New Member Introductions
    I am building a dedicated theater in a 18x24x8ft portion of a 24x39ft basement. So far the audio equipment is seven KRK 10-3, four Dayton ULM18-22 in 4.4ft^3 sealed boxes with two Crown XTi 1002 amps. These are fed with an AV preamp having XLR outputs. The disk player is a cheap one. The...
  7. CD Players | Turntables
    Back in the day, disc players did one thing: play CD's. Eventually CD+/-R and CD R/W capabilities were added. Then things got interesting when DVD's arrived on the scene. Players split in two camps. One camp still only played CD's. The other camp--the one that eventually won the public's...
  8. DIY Screens
    First post/thread here, although I'm a long time AVS member. I've searched a lot, but not found really what I'm looking for. What I really want is the brightest (highest gain) white screen with out the obvious problems of hot spotting, grain, impossible to paint evenly, etc... Right now I...
  9. Home Theater Design and Construction
    Well my buddy loves my setup.... so he wants... but on the cheap. For now at least. He is turning a spare bedroom turning into dedicated theater room. Room size: 12'x16'x8' (1540cuft) I'll get some photos soon and keep this thread updated but today he just ordered most all the components...
  10. Two Channel Audio
    I finally got my uncle to send me some photos of him room. Ya... kinda nuts, he has cooling on the amps to channel outside into the laundry room and baskets in odd ball places he says is an effective diffusion setup same with the floor stuff he has. He made some diffusion strips out of 2x6...
  11. Home Theater Design and Construction
    Well.. After much posting I figured I'd share my progress. I've owned my home for 8 years and we have a 14.25x20.75 room with a 12' cathedral ceiling. The room was originally divided in half and I knocked down the wall that split the room in two. Repaired the Sheetrock, did new carpet and the...
  12. Home Theater Design and Construction
    The time has come to finally start on my dedicated home theater room. Rather than learn from my mistakes I thought I would post my build on here so the experts can chime in. I have a excellent space to do IB subwoofers but decided against it due to the affect on resale value, the same goes for...
  13. Home Theater Design and Construction
    I posted this in another forum but I think it should of been posted here... Just finished up wiring up my dedicated AV panel. 10 circuits total. 9-20a and 1-15a. Every equipment will have a seperate dedicated circuit and I can add as necessary. My panel to outlet box which will house the...
  14. Home Theater Design and Construction
    Just finished up wiring up my dedicated AV panel. 10 circuits total. 9-20a and 1-15a. Every equipment will have a seperate dedicated circuit and I can add as necessary. My panel to outlet box which will house the outlets is 62' total in length. I ran some big cable and you can see the...
  15. Remotes | Cables | Accessories | Tweaks
    Hey folks, Newbie here, and I know this has been discussed ad nauseam but I have read so many conflicting opinions that I thought I'd ask for your advice anyways. I am setting up my home theater system and have asked the electrician to provide a dedicated 20amp line to where my media rack will...
  16. Home Theater Design and Construction
    Folks, I am going to be getting I hope a new house in less than 2 years. I want to start a thread for myself where I can throw out some random questions out that I cant really find answers for or maybe I need more understanding on this.... This is what the room could look like. I think we...

    Hey everyone, been a long while since i have been on here. In the process of purchasing a home, it has a room that is going to be turned into a dedicated home theater/ man cave. It will be used primarily for movies, sports, and video games. The room already is raised by two stairs, so it...
  18. Home Theater Design and Construction
    What are you doing about them in your Home Theater? I am asking this because if you have a dedicated Home Theater, and are watching a movie... How will you know if one goes off in another part of the house (especially if you are watching a movie at reference levels)? I am thinking that a visual...
  19. Home Theater Design and Construction
    For a semi-obnoxious intro: Q. What's under $250, can be completed in a day (if you're more organized than I was) and won't upset even the strictest landlord? A. White paint, black fabric and a handful of black push-pins. -Remember that almost any fabric, cover or curtain can pose a possible...
