Over the past approximate 8 months I have been working to recreate the Tower of Terror Basement elevator outside my home theater. I have posted on the project previously, but now that I believe we have completed the vast majority of programming for the automated scene, I thought it merited a...

Here's a very, very rough draft of my home theater layout and a bullet point list of ideas that I'm considering, though are likely to be revised in one way or another as I go: The room will be its own entity, not an open floor plan to the rest of the basement. AV closet: a space for all the...

When I first came across this story, I thought it was a pre-Halloween prank being pulled on SyFy.com visitors but after the reading the article, I was like WHOA! You couldn't make this crap up. A family in Iowa, who were neighbors to the new owners of Dahl's Meat Locker, who had dumped the...

Sorry if this is a common question: we’re finally designing our basement layout and I’m having a hard time trying to find a useful program to aid in the design. There’s a ton of them! We have a totally blank slate. Any recommendations?

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum but I wanted to get some feedback on others in the know about speaker placement. I'm finishing my basement now (framed but no drywall) and I want to run speaker wire. I currently have Polk speakers in the front (RTi A9) and I want to finish the basement...

Hello - I am looking to set up a new Home theater in my basement. I started to do some research and can't determine if spending the big bucks is worth it over spending half the cost on a matched system. My basement has a TV section by a fireplace, this area is maybe 20 x20 and open behind the...

Hi, I have a friend who has been putting together a HT in his basement and it's nice watching football games on a 120" screen. He has a BenQ HT1085ST, which has a great picture. I looked on Amazon and they don't really sell them now. Are there any projectors with similar quality, but cheaper...

Hello all, I was looking for ideas on the good old WWW when designing my basement theater. While looking through some projects on here and on Google images, I came across some amazing set ups. Way too amazing. Some home theaters seemed to have 20 foot ceilings, some were as big as the local...
