I have a 12' x 40' room with the tv on the 12' wall. I am looking for suggestions.

What type of help are you looking for?

speaker layout/type

12 ' is a bit narrow, but could be perfect room size for a 7.1 config.


Three speaklers across the front, 2 side surrounds (dipoles), 2 along the rear center. With 40' length you could put in maybe three rows of seats, 2 or 3 each across. If you have some height, build platforms to elevate the seats like a theater.


have fun.....

Assuming it is a home theater setup, I'd go for dipoles in the rear (5.1 setup).


For 2 channel sound, should be ok as is.


I'd seriously consider treating the first reflection points from the front l&r speakers.


12x40 is a big room. You'll want quite a bit of amp power & a decent sized sub. Of course budget will likely poke its head in here.. so do what you can.


Alternately, if it is an option, considering dividing the room. 12x23 maybe..

Why not build a wall to cut down the "narrowness" of the room. You could create an equipment room or ?
