Can I ask what you used for the flooring. Is that rug layed on top of concrete? How does it sound? I am going through the delima of putting a wood floor down just so I don't lose the bass. Have you experienced anything like this?

Looks Nice, I like the movie theater decorations (film reels, sconces Ect.) Also like the glowing eyed kitty at the top of the stairs in the 4th pic. LOL

heavy underlay beneath the carpet. The bass is almost too much....if thats possible. No problems

Was the underlay placed on top of concrete or wood? I am at the cross roads of the flooring. I currnetly have a concrete floor but was worried that I would not feel the bass without a wooden foundation, any opinion?

The front section of my HT is a cement floor, I used thick mildew resistaint felt padding under a thick carpet. AS dry as it seems in the basement, moisture comes up through the cement. I didnt want mildew to grow under the carpet. And I still get great bass.

The room looks great. A great finishing touch would be to install crown moulding. It really does finish a room off nice. Good luck and enjoy your theatre.

Randy, funny you say that about the moisture coming up through the floor - I am in the same boat. Isn't it weird how that happens? I am glad you mentioned the mildew resistant underlay - I had no idea there was such a thing. So, the front portion of your floor is cement? Is that where the sub is located? Are you sitting on the cement portion too or the wooden portion?

Thanks...

Darren:

Can you please tell me where you got the large decorative popcorn box? That would be perfect for a little touch I need in my HT.

Cristo,
the sub is on the cement part of the floor, if you look at my pics, you can see it at the lower left corner of my TV.And according to the carpet company that came in, using a Felt pad and a De-humidfier, you should not get any mildew under the carpet.

putting in my 20 millidollars:

I've seen various sizes of popcorn boxes in "outlet" malls. They had everything from the $5 size to the you-need-a-loan size. I can't remeber precisely which store, since they are all the same to me, but it was a kitchen gadgetry store. They also had mini theater-style popcorn poppers that used hot air.
