I think Robert thought that the budget was $1700 not $17000. I guarantee his response would probably be a bit different. Mayhem13, That is a nice system you put together for him. With running this sub setup, I hope you know how to repair drywall cracks! :D Cheers, JJ

I am going to echo what Robert has said. I have a Harmony 1000 and use two RF extenders to get to all my equipment. If you don't have a universal remote yet the Harmony 890 or the 1000 is easy to use and setup. Harmony sells the RF extender, which switches RF to IR and sends the signal to your...

Nicely done! Congrats on finishing your room. Instead of working in the room you can actually sit back now and enjoy the fruits of your labor! :emoji_thumbsup:

Sounds like you definitely have your work cut out for you. Is any part of the basement finished at all or are you starting from scratch? It took me a better part of a year working on the basement here and there to get mine for the most part finished. Something you will need to consider is...

Thanks Shawn for the comments!!! If you were just a tad bit closer I would consider coming to help you out on yours. ;) All though my wife might shoot me if I don't get some serious family time in!!! :D If you have any questions on design or just general questions, I will try and get you...

Chuck, How much are you willing to spend on speakers for the HT room? Do you have an idea of a brand of speakers that you would like to have at some point in time if you were to upgrade? If so and the budget is minimal I would at least invest some money on a good center channel and mains at...

Nicely done Scott! :emoji_thumbsup: You have to love when you can improve your entertainment factor with just a weekends worth of work. ;) Cheers, JJ

Thats a bummer about having to use slat style doors. :frowning: I totally enclosed mine and the ceiling is open in that room along with the two rooms around it have drop ceilings. So I am hoping that this will be enough air source for the furnace and gas hot water heater. depending on how big of...

The WAF is something that always has to be considered! :D You mentioned mounting an IB in the attic here is a link to a forum that is dedicated to IB sub setups. They have a great FAQs section and is recommended reading if you are going to consider building one. Check out their gallery of...

I think that I paid right around $600 for all my equipment. That was 2 -15" subs for $125 a piece, a Behringer EP-2500 amp for around $250, and a Behringer Feedback Destroyer for around $60. You don't need the Feedback destroyer right away, that is when you start to really worry about dialing it...

Before purchasing a projector, check out these two review sites of the projector that you may be considering. In the reviews they will usually compare it to a similar model and might change your mind to which one that you want to purchase. I also have a Panasonic projector like Robert_J, but...

Your theater came out really nice! :emoji_thumbsup: Now that you have the Klipsch in the room, what do you think of them? I will give you a report on the sound of my room once I get the last few acoustic panels up. The panels that I have up for the first reflection points seem to definitely...

Chuck, I am running 2 - 15" subs in an IB setup and I played the explosion scene from National Treasure at 1AM when we first got the system up and running. Well before I knew it my wife was down stairs telling me that I woke her and our daughter up because their beds were shaking! :eek: :D...

Yeah, this way if you have any questions people can see what you have going on and can help you out with whatever your inquiring about. Sounds like you have a good start on your build. People are always interested to see how other people are designing their theater. Hopefully we will see your...

Thanks Steve for you comments! Have you started on your build and if so did you start a thread for your build on the site here? Cheers, JJ

Thanks all, for the kind comments!!! ;) :emoji_thumbsup: We have been thoroughly enjoying the room and it has come a long way. The first full movie we watched was the Incredibles with my 2 year old daughter. The first Bluray movie that we watched was Casino Royale and the first HD movie we...

Hello all, I hosted my first open house along with two Christmas parties for each side of the family within a weeks timeframe. I have the majority of all construction type work done, except for a few acoustic panels to finish up. So for the most part this is the general finished product. Now...

Well here are the latest pictures of what has been going on. Here is the room in its current state. I have all the fabric around the screen done and I will be putting the screen back into the frame tonight along with installing speakers. As you may have noticed I am still working on finishing...

Thanks Bud! Finally, everything is coming together nicely. I need to hook up equipment, install the A/V rack door, finish up the projector box and a few other little misc. items. I will be posting an update shortly with some pictures of the progress. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New...

Your are around a 45 minute to an hour drive from me. I am sending you a PM ljb17. Cheers, JJ

Do you live in the suburbs of St. Louis or are you farther out? When I get my room up and running, if you are interested you can come by and check it out. One bit of advice do as much research as possible before you build it will pay off in the long run. I did quite of bit of reading and...

As promised, I finally got the pictures with the carpet uploaded and here are few shots of the room. I also have matching red GOM cloth to help pull everything together for the acoustical treatments. I worked on the baseboard last night and got about half of it done. Going...

Here is the latest and greatest going on with the build at the moment. I have been working like crazy trying to get things done before the carpet is installed. Well, this update should of been posted a day or so ago, because the carpet got installed yesterday. Well the good news is my new...

Really... I guess as long as there is nothing going into the input there is not much of an electrical draw. I bought a secondary power conditioner/surge protector, but I have not looked at it very careful to see if it can do what you are saying. I do have a Monster 3600, but I thought that I...

Sounds good! Well if you have some free time the weekend before X-mas that would probably be fine also. What ever works with your schedule, I know you have been busy lately. I am going to try and at least get equipment hooked up this weekend and getting the remote all setup. That reminds me...

Jay, if you want to find a lot of good information on building you own light boxes and just about anything else, Bud's thread is chalked full of information and all the things that he has built is high quality work! Bud, glad to see that you are still perusing the forum over here! Cheers, JJ

Seth, thanks for the comments! Congratulations on your new house! I have been wanting to build this room for a long time. Definitely gone through a couple of houses before I had the area to do one. I know what you mean about being robbed while living in an apartment. You just have to make due...

I was able to pick up my counter top today for the concession area. The only downside is that the counter top is 16" to short. It needed to be 8' 2", but instead it was 82"... :angry: So I will be heading back to the store first thing in the morning and see if they can have one made to the...

Thanks! I am hoping to be done a week or two before Christmas also... At least that is what I am shooting for. I am glad to hear that your theater is almost finished! :emoji_thumbsup: As far as acoustic treatments, I decided to just do panels. It started to become a cost issue as far as...

Here is the latest and greatest going on in the build. I finally got carpet ordered and should have it installed by the end of next week. I also have a finish Carpenter building my door frame with tinted glass for the A/V rack. He should have that to me by next week sometime, then I should be...
