My Basement Home Theater

I am going to purchace a new dlp tv but need to know what cables to run for the hook up. My audio rack is in the back of the room so I am looking at roughly a 40 foot cable run. I will be hooking up a Satelite reciever and DVD player. I am assumin this is too long for "S" video? I am limited...

I am still debateing between the Energy Connoisseur C-C3 or the B&W LCR600 S3. I am going to be using the room for mainly movies. Is it a wise choice to use 3 centers up front or 1 center and 2 bookshelves? I have been told that I will get a much better experience using three centers.

I am going to be using B&W dipole speakers in my theater. My question is this: Is it possible to have the junction box for the wire directly behind the speaker or would it have to be placed off the the side? I could either pull enough wire into the junction box or do they make a recessed...

Sorry I see them now. Thanks, that does help.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong or not, but I am only seeing one picture with white walls?

I have my walls primed and ready to paint. I wanted to paint the ceiling black, but my wife would not go for that so I was thinking of using a flat off white color. The wall to the left when sitting will be toung and grove wood ant the right wall painted. Would I be better using a darker color...

Sorry for the delay. My Marantz puts out 105W per channel. I would like to do floorstanding but thought that Book shelf speakers would work better. The front corners will be angled with a sub on the floor concealed by the bookcase. I am open to any and all sugestions. I currently have a pair...

I am starting to look at speakers for my new home theater. The room is 14' x 30' with the seating at 17' and the rear of the room is for recreation. I am setting up a 5.1 system using a Marantz SR8000 reciever. I am putting bookshelves in the front so I can bould around the speakers. I would...

Erik, I assume you are talking about some of the 2' x 2' interlink mats used for work areas, and this would cover the entire cement floor? Then the sub would be suspended, never heard of that? The room is quite large, about 13 x 30 with seating at about 15'. I am planning on two subs in the...

What can I do to improve the bass responce in my basement home theater. I just brought the sub down yesterday to check for rattles before I put up the drywall and it was kind of bla. I do not have the luxury of building a 3 or 6" sub floor. Would laying down 1/2" plywood of some sort help? I...

I did pick up the metal gangable boxes. My only concern is that the inside space is smaller and want to make sure I have enough room for all the wires inside? Thanks again for the help. Domonic

#1 What height is the prefered height for surround Speakers? I am not too concerned about the left side as it is againt the wall with the couch blocking anyone from walking into it. However on the left side I may be concerned as people will walk along this wall to get to the patio door...

If it is a drop ceiling with panels it should be easy enough to take out a panel and tear out the old fixture and put in some recessed lights. Maybe try to put up some crown moulding in the ceiling and rout it out to accomidate some rope lighting. Good Luck

I am running some monster 14/2 cl3 THX speaker wire for my left surround in the ceiling & wall of my basement. I will have to cross about 4 electricaal wires at a 90 degrees and parralell for a few feet. The question is if I run the wire in a 1/2" pvc(schedule 40) will this take care of any...

I have a quesiton for you guys that have used the Lutron Spacer System. I have 4 zones of lights wired and wanted to put a switch for each along with a 5 scene master(5wc) in one box. The only problem is I can not find a 5 gang box, do they make one? What do I have for options other than...

I need to run wire for my HT subs that I do not have yet. I do have one that is a NHT which has a seperate amp so I just need to run wire to the sub from the rack, but chances are I will buy new ones. ???? Do most subs now have the amp built in? What wire should I run to the sub locations to...

I am wondering what all of you have used for running wire in your ceilings and walls. I neeed to run about a 30' run through the basement ceiling for an FP. I also wnat to run tubing in the wall (2x4 studs) for the speakers and would like to use gang boxes for the locations and have the tubing...

I have opted top put mine on a side wall behind the seating area. It is built into the storage closet area. I wanted to be able to get behind the equipment to connect cables and stuff easier. So all I will have to do is walk into my strage closet, open the back panel of the rack and everything...

my room is 30 feet from front to back so putting one on the back wall is too far. I think I will plan for around 16 to 18 feet. Thanks Agin for your help, Domonic

I am going to be using a DLP projector. Un fortunetly the ceiling rafters are running across the room so it makes it hard to move the outlet. Plus I have a wire coming of the other end for two outlets in the front of the room for my subs.

I am wiring an outlet in my ceiling for a fromt projector I plan to purchase in the spring. I am running the electrical now. How far from the screen shoul I put the outlet for the projector. I know every projector has a different throw distance based on screen size. What is a safe distance if...

I would like to run wire for RCA connections for my subs in the front of the room and wires for component video, s video and BNC(?) for the projector. What type of wire do I need to use for these runs? The runs will range from 20 to 40 feet so I would like to make them myself.
