Im a newbie in the planning stages of my ht and this wiring business is something I am really dreading. I will have an electrician doing the wiring but I am pretty clueless on what I need. Could anyone point me in the direction of a good online guide to wiring a Ht? Thanks. p.s. Just a quick...

Great job Robert. Thats exactly the sort of thing im looking to do. Like the frame as well, adds a nice touch of class. Thanks for the help Robert and anyone else who helped.;)

Ok thanks a lot guys, thats cleared a lot up. Its pretty overwhelming for a newbie this HT game :) P.s. I would like to see those pictures Robert if its no trouble.

Heres the thing about seating distance from the screen I was talking about http://electronics.howstuffworks.com...ing-guide1.htm It will be almost exlusively dvd and satellite and the seating position will be about 12 feet from the screen so would 72inhces sound good to people? Im just...

So is it a matter of just waiting till I get the projector and then just seeing what size suits the room best before I build the screen. Also im sure a while back I saw something somewhere that gives an ideal screen size for a given seating distance from a screen. Does this ring a bell with...

Im gonna attempt to build my own projector screen but I have a few questions. Im probably gonna go for the panny ae900. Im using the projection calculator on projector central and the projector is gonna be about 14 foot from the screen. So I set the throw disatnce to 14 foot and it gives a sceen...

Thanks a million for that Wayne. Thats made up my mind, I think Ill just pay the extra cash and get the SVS package. Im gonna be way overpaying no matter what setup I get so I might as well get something decent for the money. Honestly you dont know how lucky you guys are living in the states...

Im not a big music guy and will not be listening to any music with them. It will be roughly 70% movies, 25% tv(F1,Boxing,football and the sopranos) and 5% games. Do you think there worth it for the price though at $1800. I am partial to the floorstanders and the aesthetics of the JBL set up so...

Update: Okay this set up costs roughly $1900 in Irealnd and it would cost me $1800 to get the SVS package. Is the svs package worth this money? would it be a better choice than the JBL.

What do people think of this set-up? Front speakers: JBL Northridge E60 floorstanding speakers Centre channel speaker: JBL Nortridge EC25 centre speaker Surrounds: JBL Northridge E20 bookshelfs Subwoofer: JBL Northridge E150P sub As some may know from a previous thread I live in...

Well idealy I would like to steer well clear Don. But basically what Im thinking is when I add on the shipping, import duty and potential hassle if something goes wrong would I be better just putting the money I save from shipping and import duty(which would easily be over $400) into a set up...

I should have aslo mentioned it is a rather small room. Its only about 14 foot long and 9 foot wide and 8 foot high. Would the svs package have too much ooomph for a room of this size? Thanks.

Of course Tommy sorry about that(I guess im a little overenthusiastic:D ). Basically its a dedicated room(14foot long 9foot wide, pretty tight) with one window which will have a curtain that can be closed over at any time so I have good control over the light and will be able to make the room...

Could someone recommend me a good projector for under $2400? I assume the panny ae900 will be the choice of most but are there any other options I should be looking at or anything I should know about the ae900 before I take the plunge? Thanks.

My apologies chris, I only realised I posted in the wrong forum when I checked for replies:b

Wow those svs speaker sure look tempting. But im afraid their just not feasible for me as it would cost a few hundred to ship(if they would ship to ireland) and then Id probably have to pay import duty of around 21%:angry: . svs distributor in England(av-sales.co.uk) have them for £950($1650)...

Just wondering could someone recommend me a good subwoofer and speakers for around $400 each(I have $1200 to spend on audio, so I decided to spend $300 on receiver and $100 on cables and the rest on speakers/subwoofer is this alright?). Thanks.

Looking for a receiver for about $300.(have about $1200 to spend on the audio). I know its tight but its my first whack at ht and I just want(actually I can just afford would be more accurate;) ) a basic set up. Any info greatly appreciated Thanks. P.s. what are peoples views on ordering...

Thanks for the help bob. I never thought of the remote control issue. With regards to the projector this is a dedicated room im building(albeit with a samll budget and an even smaller knowledge:D ). I will have a seperate tv for casual viewing. Thanks for the cable advice as this is an area im a...

Okay im embarking on my first ht project(and im pretty clueless:) ). Anyway before I start setting the budget and choosing components I thought Id make a checklist. Not knowing much about HT Im afraid I might leave something out:b so let us know if theres anything missing or if theres anything I...

great, thanks for all the help fellas. I appreciate it.:)

Ok Im a complete newbie and am pretty clueless(Sure youve heard it a million times before;) ). Anyway im moving house and have a room to myself and decided to make a dedicated home theatre(on a tight budget). Now im pretty clueless about display devices(ive decide to go for a projector) but when...

How do the connections work with a projector. Im looking to use a ps2,dvd player,digital receiver(sky digibox), and the surround sound system obviously. can a projector do this and if so do I just plug these things directly into the projector or do they go through some sort of adapter. I realise...

In regards to controlling the light. Theres one large Window to the front of the room which will have a black pull down blind(or black curtains? whichever controls the light better) and no other window. Will this be sufficient for the light? The couch will be facing this window and the pull down...

Ok im a complete newbie to this game and I dont really have a clue. I am moving house and I have a room to myself to do whatever I please with and have decided to make it into a dedicated tv room. Anyway im stuck between a 50inch Sony 3lcd tv or a projector. I watch a lot of digital tv and lots...

Ok I am new to this and I have little or no clue. This site is quite a resource but all the info is a bit overwhelming to say the least. Basically im moving house and im going to have a room to myself to make into a tv room(I wouldnt go so far as to call it a home theatre). Its a perfectly...
