Price Theater 2.0

Almost completed new house, here is the space I am using for a small basement theater. The green walls are 2x4 framing over poured concrete, the red ones are 2x4 framed beside occupied space. I already have most of the equipment left over from theater 1.0.
For scale, the ceilings are 9', and the long wall is a bit less than 18'. I have a pretty close Sketchup model, but I don't have a place to host it. I could PM it to anyone if interested.
I am just in the layout stage while I spend money on finishing the rest of the house, so no drywall is hung yet in here. Ideally I would like 2 rows of seating, and am trying to decide if there is enough space to do a AT screen or just use the 106" high power I already have.
For gear I am using axiom M22's for fronts and one of their lower model centers. I need to get new surrounds. I have a large custom sub. My projector is a couple year old 720p Epson, and I have an Emotiva pre/pro with amp.
The walls, door, and rack location are set already, so the room can only get smaller from here. This is below the master suite, so I will need to double drywall the ceiling at least.



Thanks for looking and any comments!

Added dimensions:

Started wiring yesterday, got all the speakers done except the left front, ran out of wire. Hurry up monoprice! Im using adjustable depth boxes for the speaker wire to hopefully adjust for the double drywall. Is it worth it to spray great stuff in the back of the boxes? I also ran the HDMI, s-video and component cable to the projector location. I don't think I'm going to use conduit because the ceiling system will still be accessible from the mechanical room side if I need to change things. It's an open truss system so a long fish tape should still work ok I think.

Still trying to decide about whisper clips and green glue, not sure I can afford them... or I should say it will take a couple months longer to.

Framed out my equipment rack, started putting up some insulation in the places the wire is run. Still trying to decide about transducer wiring. I've never used them, but I have 2 open channels on my amp if I want to try it out. I'm only wiring for 5.1 since the room is pretty tight, but I guess I could make it 6.1 if I dont like shakers using the same wires.

Is there any way mathematically to tell where the better sub location would be? My choices would be somewhere along the screen wall, or else in the right side alcove with the rack. I am going to run rg6 for a sub signal cable with rca crimp ends, is that ok?

newest sketchup:

I have trouble selecting what axis I want to move stuff on, so sketchup dimensions are approximate.

I have noticed 3-4 people from right around here lately.
My space isn't typically shaped, but I'm hoping that may actually help with room modes. Thats what I tell myself anyway.

There is a big difference between your 2 beasts and my DIY Rythmik build Tony. I'm hoping this room pressurizes as well as my last one did, I'd like to be done with subs for a while. Thought I had a finished pic but this is all I had in photobucket:



no it doesn't have wheels, I just had it on a scale at work for easy movement. Sometimes I wish it had them though, lol.

It's not that big, like 2 ft tall. Really heavy though. That's a 12" speaker hole, so I guess a bit over 2' tall.

Yesterday I put plywood between the joists where the projector will mount. Not much progress, but free! I'm planning on 12 ft. from the screen wall. It should be fine for my current Epson HC400, and hopefully the 8350 I plan to replace it with. I am wondering how far from the floor/ceiling I should mount my screen?? Before I was constrained by 8 ft. ceilings and a cabinet below, but now I am wide open with 9 ft. What would be the "ideal" placement? Eyes at about 1/3 up the screen or something like that?

OK, I will adjust that angled speaker somehow. It may be easier to do after drywall, I cant imagine how to do it with clips and channel...

It seems in my zeal to finish insulating the ceiling I neglected to stub out the power to the projector and soffit lighting. I think I can still do it without removing anything since there is a gap in the center of the room I haven't insulated yet. Anywhere cheaper than Lowes etc to buy 100' of Romex?

Version 2.0 will use the 106" High Power I already own, 2.1 will be the AT screen.

I am thinking of giving up the clips and channel, seems like a ton of work. I was only going to do the ceiling and red walls anyway since the rest are already decoupled. Definitely going double 5/8" with green glue. My plan is to build soffits along the green walls to hold around 3 can lights on each side, with the rest being bass traps. Does that sound like enough light? What is the reason to choose 6" cans over 4" or 5" ones?

Wow Tony that's a lot of fixtures. You have more space than me though by far. I am thinking of a single row 3-or so feet from the back wall. I wish I could fit 4 seats in, still working that part out.

Drywall being delivered today for installation tomorrow!! I'll be so glad to get this insulation covered up... Maybe my sinus infection will finally go away.

I think there is green glue on everything i own. coming to mud and tape this morning, I'll post pics as soon as I get some temp light up.

Also, my Epson 400 is for sale in the classified section, if anyone is interested. Low hours (<500?) perfect shape. Asking $400 shipped.
