JapanDave dedicated theater build. - Page 4

No worries, like I said I am no expert and it good to be kept on my toes.

Hey Hughman, thanks for stopping by.

The acoustics were left completely up to the designer, I am just assuming that the desirable RT60 is within a certain range and Dennis made the plans accordingly. Something that I have not thought about, but Dennis has said that there is a lot of absorption in the room and I should not have a problem with the very low frequencies. I know that is open for interpretation, but I plan on taking measurements(This is not included in the agreement, but if changes or adjustments are needed I am sure I will have Dennis's help in one way or another.)

As for the carpet, specific carpet and underlay are part of the initial designs. Seating type was not talked about except the number of seats that was going to be used.

Thanks for the words of encouragement

Dennis , very good point, especially since my room is not considered big.

Edit: I also wanted to add, that it would be pretty difficult for Dennis to make appropriate measurements when I am here in Japan, especially not knowing what equipment I have.

That sounds like a great plan. Of coarse I recommend Dennis to do you designs, very professional and his responses to any queries I had were answered very quickly. I really did have piece of mind when finalizing everything from the designs to payment, considering I am here in Japan. Something I have not actually thanked Dennis for yet. Of I understand it is entirely up to you, just wanted to share my experiences.

I forgot to mention these 2 of these dual firing 15" Submersives will also be incorporated into the room, so I will have 4 sub enclosures in room. The Submersives will be going at the back of the room.

Only the front two behemoths. The two submersives are going to go somewhere in the region of 24" to 50" from the back wall as close to the side wals as they are allowed to go. Mark (Seaton) is expecting a dip in the 35-50hz region at the seating postion and they will be there to cover that.

We have discussed crossing the Terraforms XL'S around that frequency and allowing the submersives to handle the upper bass in the LFE. I don't really have anything set in stone yet , as I want to hear the system set up and measure it to see what needs to be done.

I just hope I have the smarts to implement this plan!

Now you mention it, I still have not named my theater. Maybe I should let my 6 year old son decide.

Just want to say again that your build is amazing!

I will do my best to post everything I end up doing when crossing these subs. I know it is going to take a long time to get the right position of the subs and crossover. By then I hope I will have enough knowledge to give some good advise.

It is moving fast, but preparations for it nearly total one year and that includes getting materials and making them.

If that is the case, I am always up to have a guest. Maybe we can talk about this some more.

More updates.

The screen wall is done, minus the black acoustically transparent fabric. Also if you look at previous pics there were orange conduits. Finally got them cleaned up and out of site.



A shot from the side, sorry for all the junk.



A shot above the screen with the acoustic treatments and fabric in place. Forgive the plastic, the room is still really dusty.



The original lights removed and ready to have covers placed on them.



All the sofits acoustic treatments are complete with the fabric in place. Just have to get the wood trim sorted and attached and they will be done, minus the lights.



Apic of the material I used for the sofits,

I just hope Dennis likes beer, b/c nothing beats Japanese beer IMO.

BTW, the painters are in today the paint the sound proof doors and anything else that needs it.

It certainly is. Would you like me to take a pic of what is behind there? BTW, that is not the entrance, it is an access door for a room full of filters for my 2000g fish tank upstairs.

I will post a pic of the tank in the living room.

The rest of the house is a bunker too! A bunker with windows!

Here is a close up pic of the 2000g tank. The biggest fish on the left is about 3' long for size reference.
