Hello guys
Well im moving to a much bigger place and will be having a dedicated theater room. I have one now but its the small room in my small crapy trailer. About 7x7 or smaller. My new place is about 1600 sq ft compared to my 500 sq ft place right now. More then enough space for my wife,dog and me.... no kids thankfully. My new room will be about 11x11. Not sure, but some wear around that.
I want to make it a pretty hard core theater... well something in the upper echelon of low budget if that makes any sense.
This is what i currently have:
40" Samsung 6 series LED HDTV. Might migrate to living room and replaced with projector in a year or more... hopefully.
PS3 for games and Blue ray
Yamaha RXV465BL 5.1 receiver. 105 watts x 5 into 8 ohms (1k Hz) at 0.9% THD.Upgradable to 7.1. All the HD decoders needed.
2 Sony tower speakers.Model: SSF5000
2 Sony surround speakers. Model: SSB1000
1 Sony center speaker. Model: SSCN5000
1 100w Sony sub. Model: SAW2500
1 crapy futon that desperately needs replacement.
These speakers are not top of the line but a good $4-500 bucks were spent on them so its unlikely the wife who does not care for my man cave will allow an upgrade anytime soon.
Heres my initial plan for the room.
Paint: Likely a really dark wine color accented by black likely.
Carpet: Later hope to replace it with some kind of a black dotted carpet.
Futon: Later to be replaced with a leather love seat at least. Hopefully a
dedicated reclining theater furniture couch (google it) that will sit at
least 4.
Want to remove the roof fan. Will hang a... how do i explain this.... a piece of fine wood, painted with some kind of design and about 2 feet smaller then the room in all directions. Hanging from the corners about 6 inches from roof with ambient lighting behind it.
Big cherry red trim along the top and in the corners going down to the floor from Home Depot. The kind you see on the stand alone chimney now days.
On the walls i plan on looking for some nice wall paper. I will cut it into 2x4 squares and put them on the walls. Then small trim from Home Depot will be places around it to make it look like a poster. Kind of a cheap short cut to posters or expensive paintings.
Here is a link to what i am kind of shooting for but in a much ... cheaper way. http://www.home-theater-design-conce...QYNDQodQFlO1w#
Here is were you guys come in. Please help me get the most out of it.
I need to know what kind of speaker wire to use. How to hide it. What if any, acoustic sound stuff on the walls should i use? Is there such thing as acoustic paint? Do i need to invest on the things i see online like Bass catcher and all that stuff?
Keep in mind this is another trailer so the walls are not even sheet rock. Might upgrade to sheet rock later and can insulate at that point with acustic foam or something.. just not sure if its worth it or how much it cost.
Help with small details that people tend to overlook. Please help me and i welcome more design ideas but want to focus like i said, on things that people usually neglect that are cheap.
Also unlike the link were they hide the AV stuff, mine will likely sit on a AV rack or something under the TV.. any ideas?
What to do with the 1 window in the room?What could i do with the closet in the room?
My biggest problem right now is if i decide to somehow have the AV stuff far away from the TV how to run such long HDMI and specially how to hang or place the center speaker..
Edit: speaker towers and such thing too.When i upgrade to 7.1 should i a) buy 2 more of the surround speakers or b) buy 2 more towers for side surround and move my current bookshelf surround speakers to rear surround?
