Update: So I found a refurbished x1 and bought a HTiB. I decided that I would make the HT in my garage and sometimes when I would like to see a outside "on" my garage, I could just bring the stuff out. Now my question is this. Do I put up the projector first and then see how big the image...

Wayne, So what kind of speakers would do well in these circumstances? Thanks! Ramon

Jack, I'm asking for advice on all aspects of the project. Whether or not the HTiB would work outside, whether a concrete wall would be good enough to project on, etc. All advice is greatly appreciated! -Ramon

Hey everyone, I haven't posted in a while, but I knew where to come when I needed some good advice. Here it goes. I havea detached garage that has a white concrete wall on one side that faces in my yard. I was thinking of buying a projector, namely the X2, and projecting it onto my garage for...

Great movie, still think they should've gotten a different actress for MJ. At one point they were considering Alicia Witt. A true redhead and a gorgeous one at that. These movies would have made her a star. Instead we get Dunst. Blah...she is just so unattractive to me. My wife actually agreed...

James B. said that it's not better than HULK.....Wha....Who? Hulk was ok, and so far everyone is saying that Spidey 2 rocks. We'll see tonight. -Ramon

Colin, Jack away...besides I've come into a slight problem. A leaky heating pipe. Gotta get that fixed first. Ramon

Still haven't begun, but I have a few other questions. I'm about to start(well I was about to start) laying downthe Dri-Core, but then I noticed that the floor is uneven in some places. Should I buy leveling concrete and lat it down or just use the levelers that come with the dri-core? also...

Thanks for the tips Colin! When I begin, I will post pics on a website. Thanks again! -Ramon

Hey guys, thanks for all of the responses. I have decided to use steel just because of the easiness, cleanliness, and the fact that although it will have a modest HT in it, it won't be an HT only room. This meaning that I won't be doing eveything to the T to make it audibly perfect. The wife...

Hey everyone, I'm going to start the studding of my basement withinthe next few weeks and wanted to get your opinions on using steel studs instead of wood. I heard that it is a lot easier to use and quicker to install. any Cons against steel? Have any of you ever used steel? Thanks in advance...

Nice! Love the Stormtrooper, but I think he would scare the crap out of me if for some reason i went in there in pitch black and then saw him there. Great piece!

what about the BenQ PB7200?

Hey, My wife and I will start building our HT within a month. We are leaning towards a projector, but because she hates being in total darkness, we need something that can work with a little bit of ambient light. Our budget is 2000. Any recommendations? On a sidenote, rainbows or...

Hey, I was wondering if I need to put down a subfloor on my concrete basement floor in order to put down carpet. I think I might because I have old drainage grooves cut into the floor. Unless I fill them in. Thoughts? Ramon

Hey, I was able to get the French drain installed between yesterday and today. They did a great job and now I can go on m y cruise tomorrow with peace of mind knowing that my basement will be dry. :D Later fellas, Ramon

Sean, You just made my day. That sounds like a plan. Thanks! Ramon

Update part deux. French drain wil sump pump will be installed next week. Ht still aways off due to finishing the wife's part of the house(anything non HT). Later guys, Ramon

I will! Thanks for the advice Frank. -Ramon

Quick Update... We have water issues! Come spring time, we will be installing a french drain along the perimeter of the basement...Until then, all work on HT has ceased :frowning: Ramon

Well I finally have the closing for my house tomorrow. First I have to paint a few rooms for the wife and fix a few things here and there...then come the first week of January, the HT will commence! Wish me luck!!! Ramon

ok here's the deal...the bottom of the joists are at 7'. My father in law who is going to help me with this told me to do what a lot of people that he knows are doing. He said to rent a airless sprayer and spray all the joists and pipe work flat black. he said that everything will blend in and...

thanks for all the help guys! -Ramon

Well I get the house on the 1st of Dec. I will go in there and take Precise measurements and then go to the code enforcement office and find out. More to come later.

So I don't HAVE to get a permit for my work?

Hey Guys, I was overlooking the dimensions of the basement that I plan to convert to a HT/Family Room. The wall distance isn't a problem. It's the height. The bottom of the exposed joists to the basement floor is about 7 feet. Aren't there code restrictions that say you have to have at least...

Thanks!

Even after a few months here, I'm still a newbie. Can someone please list some pros and cons of DLP front projectors vs. LCD FP's? I would really like to have a well informed mind when I make my choice. Thanks guys!

Thanks!

What exactly is a breakout cable? Thanks, -Ramon
