They are coming up as $19.99 for me. Is it over?

Jared, go with the black... on a side note, how did you install the drop ceiling tiles around your soffit? Thanks, Steve

I thought it was interesting in the scene with Valchek, how the writers were drawing comparisons with his reaction to Burrell's reaction last year when he insisted the target was Barksdale, and didn't care about all the other baggage. And for McNulty, all I can say is ( . ) ( . )

plus, next week we'll be hearing "The Farmer and the Dell" whistled throughout the streets...

I'm planning on using steel studs all the way around, so I'll probably frame the soffit with steel. Problem is my finished ceiling height is going to be a little more than 7' (which, I found out, does meet code in my county). Right now, I can barely stand under the duct, and I'm 6'6". I like...

thanks Nathan, your pics are going to be a big help. What will be the height of you ceiling?

Ok, check out the pics below to see what issues I will have. also, I just measured the height, and looks like I have to go the no permit route due to the 7 ft I will have in the theater area. The rest of the basement will be 7'8"... My Basement Issues

thanks nathan, by the way, i didn't get your zip file on AVS...

hey nathan, i think i responded to a post of yours in the AVSforum... I'm looking to do the same thing you are, with the PT lumber base plate, then metal everywhere else. Any sturdiness issue with attaching the wall to the soffit? Do you attach the underside of the soffit to the concret wall...

OK, just saw it in a book. I have an issue on one wall due to the vents above and a pipe that runs almost the length of the wall allowing no place along the 18' wall to secure the top plate to the celing joists. I have no idea how to frame that wall with reg 2x4's

OK, this may be a silly question, but why frame out using 2x4's or 2x6's, instead of just using furring strips attached to the concret block walls with rigid insulation, then drywall when finishing a basement? Is it just for accoustics? Thanks, Steve

any ideas about just making a soffit under the duct?

Starting to layout my basement for finishing, and have some major issues. I got the finished basement plans from the developer for my house, which was built 7 years ago. the area i was to use as the media area is 18' X 12', with a low ceiling of 80" due to a sunken family room above. The problem...

I'm using an old Kenwood VR-407... Also, I'm looking into using the polks in another room and going with jbl's, maybe N38's up front with the 24's in the back. The wife is real big on getting cherry finish though to match our furniture in the room...

Thanks for the replies. I actually called Polk earlier, and they said the newer models should match up well with my RT 600's. As we talked more, I asked about in-walls. They said that would be a good option as well, but didn't get too technical in details. If they are surrounds, and I run a sub...

New poster, old reader... Just bought a new house, and the wife gave permission to buy new speakers. Currently I have an awful setup... L/R: Polk RT 600 C: 8 year old KLH center with 2 4" paper "woofers" Surrounds: Wharfedale Monitor M-128 towers Sub: None The wife is only...
