    First photos of my basement HT

    Drop ceiling is definatly nice for future mods, but, and this is a big but, do you really want to hear the whole ceiling rattle every time a big bass scene comes up in a movie.

    your projector distance to the screen will have to be in the 15-17 foot range to got 110" or better. 100" calls for 12.63'-15.1' from the screen. Of course this info is for the Screenplay 4805

    yep had to build it myself, everything you can purchase is so cheaply made, and so expensive to buy. this way it gets done right and costs half as much.

    found out why the pics dont come up anymore, Webshots no longer allows you to link photo from their site to any other. Guess I'll have to find another photo hosting site. Any one know of one??
