We are going to build an aboveground (no basement) addition to our house.
The exterior dimensions will be 36' x 24' and the Wife has agreed to let me have approximately one-half of it for a Home Theater.
I'm guessing that the inside dimensions will be 23 feet for length and for width I can go as much as 19 feet, as for the ceiling if I use a flat ceiling it will have to be eight feet or I can have vaulted ceiling.
One wall (up to 19 feet for the home theater half) will be against the existing house, two walls will be exposed to the outdoors and the other wall will be the dividing wall between the new edition room, basically a rectangle with a dividing line attached to the existing house.
I already have a builder and asked him about soundproofing the room as best as possible and not to make a long story, neither of us knows exactly what to do hence this is why I need as much advice as I can obtain in a very short period of time.
This will not be a True Home Theater, the TV will be a plasma with a 7.1 surround system.
Please, I'm not rich but I would like some simple ideas that I can incorporate while this building is taking place so I don't have any regrets after it's done.
So go ahead and lay it all on me.
