Hello, I am fairly new to the home theater scene - see thread here: http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/diy-subwoofers-general-discussion/151905-new-diy-need-advice-driver.html - but intend on going "all out"!! A quick run down of my current set-up: Yamaha A3060 Receiver 2x Crown XLS 1502...

I am looking for some step lighting and perimeter lighting for my seating riser. Preferably led. Anyone have any suppliers and/or pictures of successful installs of this? Thanks.

I am starting my riser this weekend and I think I've read every possible article I could find to prep for construction. All my calculations are good with regard to height and size, I am floating the riser the auralex spacer things (forgot what they're called), filling the riser with insulation...

Hi all ... my first post here... My room is very bad in terms of acoustics. See my gallery here http://www.blu-ray.com/community/gallery.php?member=bizmord One thing that's helping is a big sectional rug that covers 70% of the room floor. My walls are bare, there is absolutely no acoustic...

How do I calculate the size of the inlet openings for the front of the riser? My riser will be constructed out of 2x8's at the perimeter with the middle "joists" being 2x6's spaced at 12" on center. I'll fill the cavities with 6" paperfaced fiberglass batts "hung" from the top of the framing...

here in the bottom part of my riser. I couldnt find 2 x 12's so im using 2 x 6's. I am framing out both sections then laying the other on top and securing them. My question is this. I ported the bottom part but block it in, and also going to port the top section in front as well...

I am building a riser for my rear seats. My basement floor is a concrete slap, padding then carpet. This is a townhouse and moving in the future. Was wondering what I could put between the riser and carpet, so after time the "whole" outline etc...isn't indented into the carpet Thanks, Jeff

Hi Getting ready to start construction in about 3-4 weeks. Here is my plan and dimensions, please review if this will work. I can make changes. I want to make sure the seating distance, riser dimensions length and height, and screen size are appropriate. Please comment and make suggestions...

I have searched and done a lot of reading on the forum but still my simple brain is overloaded. Here is what I want. Im currently building a small ht in my basement im actually finishing the entire basement. Like I said my theater is small at 8x18 with 8 ft ceiling however it is a dedicated...

Read about subwoofer risers and search online for pricing wow, they are really expensive upwards $150 Canadian. Read up on how to make one. Here is the end result Total Cost $36.00 dollars and 3 hours of work, and enough material left over to make 2 speaker risers.

I am still working on my theater build and I will have to build a riser in a month or so and wanted some input from the pros on what I should be looking for as far as height and size and any other thing that I dont know about building a riser. Thanks

So I have decided to build a riser for my second row since I decided to open my room up all the way for my needs. The room tappers down to about 11' 6" so that is how wide the riser will be. Now how deep should it be, and tall should it be. My front row will be a nice leather sectional(not...

I need to raise my futon which is pulling 2nd row duty in my HT. I'm leaning towards a moveable riser that sits on top of my carpet, 12 inches high. Instead of a conventional riser, or subs in a riser, I'm wondering if it would work well to build 2 subs, place them side by side, and sit the...

I'm about to start building my riser and have been reading about riser construction and just wanted some advice. My ceiling is about 8' and I've determined that I need a 13" height riser with the help of people here and Roman. The calculator I used said 11' 1/8" but Roman says to add 2' to it...

ALMFamily gave me some help with this earlier which is fab. In the directions for construction of the riser I found They suggest using rubber feet under the joists, however their riser was to go onto an existing timber floor where as mine is to be built onto a solid concrete floor so does any...

I have read all that I can find in the forums about construction of risers and the only thing that I have come up with is to use roofing felt on the concrete floor to protect the lumber. I know that i could always use PT lumber but I would rather not. Does anyone have any...

Hey Guys, Not usually a double poster but I wasn't sure where the topic was more appropriate, and I have a small sense of urgency with my construction: I'm in the middle of constructing my riser. Here are the stats: Front row: 4 seats Back row: 3 seats My requirement is to have every seat...

I'm in the middle of constructing my riser. Here are the stats: Front row: 4 seats Back row: 3 seats My plan is to eventually have all seats have some sort of tacticle shaker. I need to know what my speaker wiring needs to be before I seal up the box. Yes, I know I'll likely need two...

Hi Guys and Gals, I'm wanting to start building the riser for the 2nd row of seats. The 2nd row are theatre recliners with front row going to be 2 x 2 seaters (standard couches, not yet bought) they will be angled in slightly with a gap in the middle for steps onto the riser. I'm looking at...

Hey Guys, I just got my back row of seating and I'm getting ready to start the fun design process with my riser. I've determined how far I am away from the screen, and all of the necessary stuff to use the riser calculator. I'm kind of struggling here with all of the details, so hopefully...
