The last 2 days have been insane. We gutted our 1200sqft basement to the studs, ripped apart my theater and I am moving it to a raw space. I will lose some size but gain control. My old room, 33x20 is the new playroom for my son and the forthcoming baby.
So the plan is in place, work has begun and the whip has been cracked. The Plaster and Dry Wall boys will be here Wednesday (6 days from now) as will all my new Gear....yes NEW GEAR
The room is to be as follows---
17x14 With Double Boarded walls filled with insulation and a generous amount of green glue between the boards. All seams caulked with acoustical caulk and the ceiling will be decoupled using RSIC Clips and Drywall Furring Channels.
I have carpet (Kain Carpet "Upper Class") and paint picked out, as well as seating.
Seating looks like it will be Bello HTS.
Gear will be-
JVC RS50 or 60
Screen is a dispute but I have a weird interest in the SI Black Diamond 1.4
Marantz AV7005
Emotiva UPA7
Sunfire Cinema Ribbon Trio On-Wall - CRS-3,CRS-3C
W/ Cinema Ribbon Bi-Pole Surround - CRM-2BIP
Sunfire True Subwoofer EQ 10
Ill upload some pre-insanity pictures tomorrow...
Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcomed, they are wanted!!!
Sounds like a really awesome build. Keep the pics coming! I am sure you are having theater withdrawls already. We sold the last house with a theater and I am in the process of the new build now (should finish framing in the next few weeks).
Man It better be ready in 2 weeks or im going crazy!!
Guys are finishing framing and electrical today, plumbing finishes tonight.
Friday is make sure stuffs right on the money day. Sunday I am insulating the whole basement for the Monday AM arrival of the plaster guys! By mid next week it will be paint ready and all I will be waiting for is the carpet.
OK so I am now finished with the double boards (5/8 and 1/2) that are green glued. The room is decoupled with acoustical caulk and after that it was plastered. Csrpet is on order and painter is in 2 weeks..
These babies are much better looking in person. And the build quality is wonderful, they are built like tanks and weigh a ton! I cant wait to hear them!
You are making excellent progress. I can not really tell from the picture...how is the projector going to mount to those blocks? They appear to be up higher than the clips and channel.
I always thought ribbons have narrow vertical dispersion. But I'm sure Sunfire figured that into the design of the surrounds. Makes me wonder if mounting them high will be a problem.

Since I did the decoupled ceiling the blocking had to go a little higher than the hat channels. I know exactly where it is so regardless of the depth I will hit the blocking.

Sure, we can work the sub out. That system is great huh?
I found another rug I love...For some reason I am just having a hell of a time with this decision...the one n the first post is still 8 weeks out and I cant wait!!
I am curious to know the screen size and distance from the wall for the top and right sides. I am trying to decide to leave space on top or bottom of the screen. Not sure how you are taking decision on it.
The screen will be 120" 2.40:1, i will be sitting 10 ft away.
I am confused to what measurements/dimensions you were curious about.
