Any good ideas on converting this single car detached garage into a theater room?I know the obvious of having to build a false wall to protect garage door and doing something about windows and bringing in a dedicated power outlet.Unsure if i need to put 4 different circuits in for projector,amp,sub/s and rest of equipment or just one or two

You should do some readng here as there have been a few garage theaters. However, your first challenge is going to be getting all of that stuff out of there so that you can work.

I see you are in AZ so I assume it gets hot. If you haven't started to think about it yet now is the time to plan HVAC.


A lot of guys here have had good luck with Mini-split systems with the Mitsubishi Mr Slim getting good marks for being quiet.

Also, most garages are not insulated. Is yours?


As for power, you need to look at the requirements of all your equipment, add it up and that should tell you what you need to run.
