    DESTROYED BY HOUSE FIRE!!!

    I think Robert thought that the budget was $1700 not $17000. I guarantee his response would probably be a bit different. Mayhem13, That is a nice system you put together for him. With running this sub setup, I hope you know how to repair drywall cracks! :D Cheers, JJ

    RF or repeating IR transmitters

    I am going to echo what Robert has said. I have a Harmony 1000 and use two RF extenders to get to all my equipment. If you don't have a universal remote yet the Harmony 890 or the 1000 is easy to use and setup. Harmony sells the RF extender, which switches RF to IR and sends the signal to your...

    Whole House and Home Theater Pre-Wire??

    08: Home Theater Project Beginning

    Chuck, How much are you willing to spend on speakers for the HT room? Do you have an idea of a brand of speakers that you would like to have at some point in time if you were to upgrade? If so and the budget is minimal I would at least invest some money on a good center channel and mains at...

    08: Home Theater Project Beginning

    The WAF is something that always has to be considered! :D You mentioned mounting an IB in the attic here is a link to a forum that is dedicated to IB sub setups. They have a great FAQs section and is recommended reading if you are going to consider building one. Check out their gallery of...

    08: Home Theater Project Beginning

    I think that I paid right around $600 for all my equipment. That was 2 -15" subs for $125 a piece, a Behringer EP-2500 amp for around $250, and a Behringer Feedback Destroyer for around $60. You don't need the Feedback destroyer right away, that is when you start to really worry about dialing it...

    Before purchasing a projector, check out these two review sites of the projector that you may be considering. In the reviews they will usually compare it to a similar model and might change your mind to which one that you want to purchase. I also have a Panasonic projector like Robert_J, but...

    Chuck, I am running 2 - 15" subs in an IB setup and I played the explosion scene from National Treasure at 1AM when we first got the system up and running. Well before I knew it my wife was down stairs telling me that I woke her and our daughter up because their beds were shaking! :eek: :D...
