The fiance and I are 2 weeks out from closing on this house!
Unfortunately it has a 2 story family room, so my home theater options are limited there, but so far I think we may have a very good candidate for a bonus room above the garage that will look like a normal room because the garage is front facing. Here's the floor plans I mocked up in visio.
Part of me wants to finish the basement, but it doesn't add any SQ FT in this state, and I feel like you lose some of the tactile feel you get with the subwoofers on concrete. With the bonus room, I can sound proof it easily since it is separate from the rest of the house and far away from the master bedroom. (Also easily light controlled since there is only 1 little window on the front of the attic there)
What are your guys thoughts? I'll post as we start to move in, and would love to get this project going as soon as we get in.
Here's the basement with a mocked up HT/utility/storage area. It does have an egrees window on the east side there.
