Ok, so I know I need a reciever for the audio/sound system . I found the Onkyo site that has refurbed packages 7.1 that fit the budget. Is there anything that I should be aware of. The last surround system I bought was a shelf system back 15 yrs ago. :( I again feel clueless as to how to wire or...

The lay out of the speakers is like a rectangle, Lets say the Front speakers are centered on the projector wall at 0' & 10' apart, then the rear surround are at 15' & on the wall head hieght with about 17' in between, the rear rear if I can called them that #6,#7 are at 17'-6" and 8'-0" apart...

Thanks for your help Jim Mcc. The build to date: back wall where screen goes 15.5' wide x 8.0' tall. Rear surround speaker wires at head level, rear rear speaker wires in cieling, center channel good, and front speaker wires coming out of wall 2.0 above ground left and right of screen, so I am...

Ok, so now I just visited a store with the projector pointed up in the air. I checked projector central and found it is suppose to be 18" above the screen at 109"diag. It was about 3" below top of screen.Uuummm. Is this something that can be done with all projectors with a downward projection...

Would LCD prevent rainbows, or why wouldLCD be better?

Honestly, I know enough about this to be dangerous. I spent 2-hours looking at you-tube video's, keeping track of the projector species and noting the quality of the light on the projector. I might be mistaken on my requirements, I can plumb or build just about anything, Home theater a whole new...

After More researrch and hours on comparing online..... I want a $1,000.00 projector, black in color, 1080p, 2000+ lumens so my kids & I can play xbox & wii with lights on. And then turn the lights off or real low for a cinema style movie, Mountable 7-9" above top of screen, throw distance 13-0"...

Actually, on the lumens I asked around and a few (non - professionals ) said oh you need at least 2000 lumens and 1080 hdmi. Or that sounds great, any projector you buy will be really nice. Ugh... As I know with other hobbies that the guys like yourself are going to be more helpful. When I have...

Oh yeah. $1,000.00 budget

I figured from my research that I should get at least 2000lumens, HDMI, 1080, 1920x1080, quiet, DLP, &keystone correction since the lense will be about flush with top of screen. I originally wanted the Viewsonic 8200, but I found out it needed to be 16" above the screen, ain't happening in a...

Ok, so thank you to the response about the metal cieling. Not going that way, going sheetrock after I load the cieling with wires, a future conduit & R-21 for noise reduction. I pulled the temp plastic sheeting down to get passed the christmas holiday now it is time to start with the provisions...

So, the metal has a lot of potential to be a bad thing? To be honest I have bare joists in the basement. The metal is sitting outside waiting for its fait. So, maybe I should sheetrock instead? Is sheetrock a much better choice over metal. I am no rocket scientist, but It seems all the home...

Just getting started here. Doing some research before I get a projector & screen for the basement. Is there anything wrong with having coragated metal roof panels on my whole cieling where my projector will be with a surround system & sub-woofer. My system will be very basic for now, I am just...
