Damon, Often people put up 2 sheets of drywall on the walls and ceilings. Two 5/8 is what I did. Some recommend putting 30# roofing felt between them. The topic of building walls is a frequently discussed questions here and at the AVS building site. A few searches will yield more than you...

Unless you are talking about making a floating ceiling in your HT, then it is often said that using 6" insulation batting and "good" ceiling tiles will do the most good. Good can be determined by NRC and STC values. I just picked up some SelectSound theater insulation (like TS+) for my lower...

Make sure they run a dedicate neutral wire for that/those outlets as well. Often they will share a neutral wire with a circuit breaker "next" (on opposite phase/leg/pole) to it. Doing it again I would also have them run a dedicated ground back to your electrical box as well. You can buy...

Darren, You are yanking our chain here! You could not have cut those out by hand. No way. They look so good.;) Furthermore to add to my yanking theory, you could not possibly make these for all those that would want them unless you did them at a lo$$. By hand...no way, dude. If this is...

That sign must put out some serious light...you need probably need a 30 amp fuse or heck just a penny. I'm only kidding!!! (obviously) It does indeed sound like a wiring problem. As a modest electrican, I would put a 3-prong outlet on it then use a circuit tester to do an inital check...this...

That seems strange because it is listed on this ATTBI site: Link Removed Hopefully it is not yours so you can get it replaced or if it is yours that they will fix whatever the problem is. It appears they are still working on the DNS timeout problems.

Stands or the orange circles seem the only choice from what I see as well. Check out: http://www.dolby.com/ht/Guide.HomeTh....html#chapter3

Darren, I'm surprised no one responded. You did a very nice job. :emoji_thumbsup: I thought the idea of the 'box' holder was pretty clever. I think I'd like to do that instead of a lighted sign or marquee. Thanks for taking the time to post this stuff.

Very good description of Common Ground vs Isolated Ground I found while trying to determine which Surge Protective Receptacle to buy (thanks to Jacksquat for the Receptacle link).

There are numerous excellent links/articles at this USG site: http://www.usg.com/Design_Solutions/..._construct.asp In the center not only are there 'features', 'manuals' and 'case studies' but also 'Design Wizards' on the far left.

Mainly I wanted to provide a couple favorite links and hope others will too. 1) Homewiring with good diagrams 2) Electrical Wiring FAQ 3) Wiring gauge chart If in doubt, hire it out. For example in my PMTs case, I asked an electrican to come estimate putting in a subpanel and rerouting a...

There certainly is a common problem with all of my friends on who have the new ATTBI service. It appears to be a DNS issue. I got around it by installing a local DNS cache shareware software that works EXCELLENT. This is has much more impact than this "fix"...many benefits...

Back up on ATT BI in Chicagoland....yippee

This article had a variety of links... http://computerworld.com/nlt/0%2C359...LTAM%2C00.html HTH,

Well it was not so darn funny (as my previous post would indicate) when I got up on Sat to find a dead internet access (suburb of Chicago). On the morning I was going to test the Kenwood Entre Hub (cover art, etc) none the less! The HT gods smiled upon me, however, because there was a 30 day...

Oh heck don't you think we are all just too addicted to this internet stuff and it would be good if they unplugged us for a while...ya know back to the basics, time with the family, ... non-stop DVD watching...oh wait my new Kenwood Entre would stop working...bad idea after all. :D

2:35am here in Central and I'm still alive. :b

Lisa, I don't honestly know if the lead will make any difference. Sounds good in theory, tho. The key thing you stated was the BMX is at 90 degrees. This is ideal and a suggestion I have seen more than once. Aside from that your RG6 is probably quad-shielded to avoid interference and your...

It's a fairly good idea...so you don't spill...but it may be distracting for viewers in the row behind. I have seen one person fabricate some cup holders out of plexiglass/plastic which had a "tube" of plastic protruding out of the side of his couch/loveseat which curved up and connected to...

Hello Scott, (MT related aside: I talked to my brother today who was on his way to Shelby from Cut Bank. He said it was snowing all morning.) I would suggest looking at a couple mid-range receiver manuals in there speaker placement sections such as the Link Removed or the Onkyo 787 or the...

It appears that the SelectSound Black Acoustic Board/Blanket has comparable numbers to TS+ and Insul-SHIELD black. Check them out here: http://www.owenscorning.com/around/s...ial_acoustics/

Hi, You can got to remotecental.com and look at the 'wheretobuy' page for the ProntoPro. That is what I did. Unfortunately I paid 840ish and if you do a search on google.com or the like for TSU6000 you will find it cheaper. Now I don't know about the rep of these 'cheaper' guys. I assumed...

Hi all, This may have been posted before or may be more obvious to some but here is where you can get the PDF about this stuff *AND* more importantly where you can get it locally (by putting in your zip). I called them and they/she said Oh I can tell you just let me get to the internet...back...

Every once in a while you see a theater that you makes to stop and say 'Damn! That is nice'. From the pictures of the setup and the paintings clearly you are a talented person. Nicely done.

Have you checked out: Link Removed and Link Removed May answer some of your questions. I'm looking at the 5900 myself. HTH, Scott Fauque

These are full featured. Friends and I have had good luck. http://nexland.com/products.htm HTH, Scott Fauque [Edited last by ScottFauque on August 04, 2001 at 02:02 AM]

I've read many a time by many different people that sand is the inexpensive answer to your question. Good luck.

Mark did. Oddly this just came up. See: http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/000768.html I would have just pointed you to his site and pictures but the thread talks about why he just did the lower half of his walls. Could save you money .
