My New Theater Room -- V2.0

Oh the pain begins...again.

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!!!

Not anymore...

OK Some progress has happened- Plaster getting done Monday now.
This is not only a theater build, we are doing the whole basement over as well.

Here is the room framed. Speaker wire, HDMI, as wall as control wire is all run.
Electrician and heating are tomorrow.

We are thinking about these sconces --


We are getting there...

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.

So to answer your question...YES!

Here are some shots of this weekends marathon.

Here is the room framing. I used quiet clips and furring channel to float the ceiling.




Here is the entrance after insulation

And more




Just to give some scope to my project--
Here is the rest of the basement from inside the theater

Here are the electrical and lights backed by sound isolation putty pads aka fire proof putty pads.

This is a shot of the ceiling with blocking for projector-



Blue board in the AM

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..

Here are a few pics---

Where the rack is going

Speakers came today 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!

The Surrounds

The Sunfire Truesub EQ

Its even further along...Ill have more pics soon


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.


They are gorgeous in person!

Actually I was told the design on these Sunfires have a wide dispersion...

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!!

Progress...

Screen Wall


Back Left Corner and Entrance.

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.

From Lowes?

I went as high as I could because I am not doing an acoustically transparent material. Luckily for me this had my eyes 1/3 up from the bottom of the screen
