Well I’ve read and read and then read some more in this forum and I still cannot determine what, if anything, I am working with here.
By no means am I after anything extravagant but I would like to do my due diligence and try for a quality end product.
Reading through the many builds and informative articles I cannot help but think that much of the information is contradictory. So I ultimately turned to Amazon and ‘home theater design’ books and while hesitating I thought it would be worthwhile to post a cry for help here before ordering. A book cannot offer feedback. Initial feedback is what I most need st this point. If it is not apparent, this hardcore theater design is new to me.
I understand many of the elementary basics of electronics but you all have blown me away with the depths I have discovered.
Anyway, here it is... My three week old son and his shipmates want to be able to watch TOPGUN II in my, I mean his, ‘movie theater’ sometime next year.
Project budget (sound equipment) 5k
I’d like to isolate sound as much as possible.
We moved in a about a year ago - pardon the disarray -just moved and three week old- and it’s a uniquely laid out basement that has a storm shelter within a storm shelters and 8’6 ceilings. I have no idea what they were planning but they clearly had some sort of TV set up down there but it doesn’t look ideal.
We just had a dumpster delivered and plan to clear everything out over the next few days and I’ll starting building in the winter.
Problem is I cannot figure how/if I can make something respectable out of it or not. I can frame bare concrete walls or even drill through solid concrete walls to hide all av equipment but the space is just sort of awkward. I’ve attached a sort of generic blueprint of the dimensions- they do differ by a few feet but are close for what I’m after. Can this work?
Barn serves as gym at this point. If this is a lost cause then I now have a gym in the basement.
Apologizes for the ramble, just trying to offer as much info as possible for anyone who cares to share ideas.
