Hey everybody! First, apologies to start with. The last forum I joined I got kicked off of for an unknown reason...they called me a troll and wouldn't let me log back on.
I'm doing "construction" in the basement. I plan on installing a home theater, roughly 8x12 ft. This is going to be ground up (or, should I say, slab up?). I plan on getting 10 movie theater seats (eBay) and installing a fairly large flat panel TV, 50"+?. I am not an audiophile by any stretch. I'm wondering what sort of things should I be on the lookout for. I have several constraints. Heating and return ducts are going to limit ceiling to about 7+ feet afet subfloor. Basics: Should I wire walls for speakers? Placement? Slope of floor for theater seats? Subwoofer? Total power drain, can I hook this sucker up to one line? Dehumidifyer? Should I go with laminate floor and painted walls or fabric covered and carpeted? As you can see, I HAVE NO CLUE!
