Thank you for the response! I was also told by a friend to keep the surge protectors as they are expensive. I'm not sure which is the surge protectors though actually :)

My building moved to a new building across the street and there was a bunch of old audio video equipment left. My boss told me to take what ever I wanted. I took some shots with my phone to try and see if any of it was worth using? I am finishing my basement and do plan to do some sort of home...

Great. That's what im hopeing for. In a year or so I should be in the market to start thinking about my projector. I'm framing my entire basement so the theater is only a part of what I'm doing. I have a whole bar area, bathroom, and common area to get ready as well. I do want to get my...

Thanks for all the advise. This gives me a good base to start with and learn from. I've been doing some research and will continue to do more. I plan to get out and listen and look frist hand. I agree with you that my speakers will be an investment and they will be able to last me a long...

I'm in the very early stages of finishing my basement. I'm planning out my home theater room now. I figure this whole project (the whole basement) will take me a while and by the time I'm actually ready to purchase a projector for the theater it will be a minimum a year from now. I'm wanting...

Yes I should map out my goals and budget. I guess my plan really was though that I would get the room built and get the equipment little by little when I have the money. I am going to go look and research the equipment and plan around what I like and think I can afford however. So say I find...

All that is in the back of my mind for sure. I am trying to figure all this out now! I am framing my whole basement so not only working on this one room so I do have some time. The theater room will be the last room I drywall I think just because there is the most planning. The corner and...

Thanks this was helpful. Let me alberate on my room actually because since I've gotten home and look down there I"m getting more and more discuraged at the size and layout. OK I'll do my best here. Actually the size is smaller then I remembered. It is a 16' deep by 14.5' wide. I have...

I'm in the middle of framing my basement and plan to design a theater room. My I'm planning to go with a projector hopefully 3d in the future when the room is built. I'm still in the early design stages. I'm trying to take in every possibility at the moment. I'm still torn however on how to...

This looks really nice! I'm in the beginning stages of framing my basement and I am also adding a theater room. I have a question regarding your placement of your first row. How far away from your 95 inch screen is the first row? My room will be 16 feet deep and 15 feet wide. I am trying to...

I'm thinking that would be 80 diagonal. Isn't that the correct way to calculate screen size? I"m really new to the whole projector idea. It's going to be a while until I"m ready to start looking at actually purchasing a projector. I'm probably a good year or so out from that. But I want to...

I just started framing my basement and am really trying to put some thought into what I'm going to do with my home theater area. I don't have the size that I would like to have unfortunately. The room is about 17x15 feet but after the walls are up it will be more like 16 feet deep. So how...

Sweet thanks for the info. I do plan to go myself and check them out but I was impatient and couldn't wait to find that out. :)

Here's kind of a random question about home theatre seats. Do they detach from each other? What I mean is if I got say a 3 piece home theater seating row is it possible to detach the chairs or are they one long unit. The reason I ask is my basement has a nasty turn right at the top of the...

Thanks for your reply. I will be doing a ton of research and comparing what my options are. Projection seems like what I want but as far as setting it all up and with an Xbox, Wii or other gameing console system what all I"ll need to get that all done. with cables and such. As far as the...

Hi guy's, I'm new to this home theater business but I am planning on finishing my unfinished basement and adding in a home theater room. I am going to begin framing this weekend. I have some basic ideas in my mind from looking at photos online and such but really don't have all the details...
