My completed Theater with PICS! - Page 3

Thanks!

Ah, you have the beast as well? Had to carry up two flights of stairs to put in the bedroom. Even without the stand that was one heavy display. I think it is close to 200lbs without the stand. I hope it runs for a long time as I never want to have to carry it away.

Thank you very much. I saw your setup. Very, very nice!

Thanks HTG. It was a lot of fun building. Now I am stuck with bringing audio up to the level of the room. I never realized how crazy audio components can be.

Ah, to be able to shop for the perfect basement or set up for your HT? Now I am jealous!

Thanks! It is a fun hobby when you tailor something exactly to your own specific look or purpose.

The arms come off fairly simply. The screws are near the bottom of the chair and, if remember right, you extend the foot rest and you can get to the screws. The hardest part is getting a screw driver to it. I used a short screw driver and also one with a flexible adapter to get in there. I still like the seats. Really flexible design allowed me to do the two loveseats and they are relatively narrow so they do not take up much width compared to other seating. But bottom line the price was a steal! I just wish I could find one more seat so I could do two loveseats in the front row. Good luck!!

Nice. That's alot of seats. I don't even use the connectors on the three chairs in the from row. We do a lot of couples and kids nights and the loveseats really come in handy for couples getting close or piling 3 or 4 kids in the loveseat.

When they dropped to $500 a buddy and I went in together. He needed five seats and seven for me. He was no where ready for them so I had his chairs in my garage for six months while he finished his room. But for the money he had to bite.

Everyone thinks it is blue from the pics. Actually is 54' of basic white led rope light from Home Depot.

I thought I would post a little subwoofer project I have been working on. I had planned on building a couple 18" diy subs to add to the theater. Currently use a 15" mfw15 and my old 12" Athena sub. These are not the greatest but did a decent job of pressurizing my sealed, 2700cf room. problem is they did not go below 20hz at the output I was demanding and the AQ was questionable.

I purchased and cut 3 sheets of 1" mdf to make the subs modeled from a popular 18",5cf, sealed design. The more I got in to it the more I realized how psycho folks are with their bass () and saw diyers going real big with their boxes. I was doing, what I thought, was a big a 2 foot cube/5cf and many folks where going 2 or 3 times bigger for their boxes at 10-15 cubic feet.

Then I discovered the infinate baffle design for subs. This basically turns an adjacent space like an attic, crawlspace, closet or room into a giant sealed subwoofer when you install a driver(s) between the spaces. Supposed to be performance benefits to something like this and MAJOR WAF if you can deal with cutting a hole(s) in the wall.

I am halfway through the project and have installed two 18" drivers on the right side of my screen wall. A second pair will be installed on the left side and all 4 drivers will be powered by a 4000 watt Behringer ep4000. The difference between this set up, even halway completed, and my old two box subs is gut wrenching. I could not be happier with the pure tone and output already. Whatever increase happens when I add the 2nd pair - is gravy.

I am more posting this for folks with dedicated rooms or planning rooms to look at as an option. I wish I knew about this when I was building my room. For under $1400 I can't imagine a better performer with this high of waf.

I friend of mine is building 2 18" box subs and we will do a shoot out and will be interesting to hear/feel any difference for the comparable cost of each.

The project is not finished yet but here are some in progress pics.

Blurry pic of 2 drivers installed on the right side. When I finish there will be a black, AT, fabric screen over the area that the drivers cut into the screenwall where the screen is. It will look like side masking to match the masking at the bottom of the screen area. The posters will go back up and I will cinch them a little tighter together. You will not know the sub is even there.

The back side

Thanks, it is crazy. 8 drivers? Crazy.

I am using the FI IB318's. I hear the AE brand alot. Had planned on keeping my mfw15 in the back of the room for nearfield response but it is just not necessary - craigslist here I come.

Yeah, what erkq said.

My wall is braced and half the height is foundation. So the wall does not move but the rest of the house does.
