So I am finally getting around to finishing off the room where the HT will be going but I need some input from y'all that have experience in this:
1. My room is 24' deep and 10' wide with an 8' ceiling. It seems to be rather deep so would it be wise to decrease the length of the room by say 4 feet with the ability to get behind a "dummy" wall so I could install the subs behind there as well allow the center channel to sit flush with the screen?
2. There is a drop off about 9" from the doorway entering the room (opposite end from the where the screen would be so I was thinking of having the first "x" number of feet of distance out into the room be level with that and then have the next row of seats be 9" lower. The configuration I have in my head is seating for 4 people (2 seats on each of the two levels/rows).
3. Seating....with a combined 2 seater the width is roughly 65' so would it be rec'd to have the pair in the middle with about 2' on each side or have each seat separate near the side walls with roughly 3 feet between them? I was thinking the two together would be the best scenario for maximum sound and video experience.
4. Is there a rec'd screen size I should go with or a rule of thimb? I am guessing I need to find the screen size that is the sweet spot between the two rows? I can always manipulate the distance of the seating to fit the screen size.
Thanks so much for any input that you can offer!
Cheers.
