Hello everyone,
I've recently decided to start building a HT but I realized I have no idea where to begin. I've done a bit of research but it's nowhere near to what I need to know. I've decided on the BenQ HT1075 for my projector and the Silver Ticket 100" for my screen. If either of them aren't good, please tell me.
I think I've found a fairly decent room in my basement for a HT but there's a few flaws. It's pretty messy but I'll remove everything soon. The room's dimensions (Height, width, length) are 8' X 11' X 18'. Looking at some golden ratios; I think they look okay but let me know what you think. The biggest flaw, I think is around halfway in the room, there is a lowered ceiling plus a pushed in wall on the left. I'm worried it will create distortions in the sound because it's not uniform. Am I right in this thinking? Also I'm not sure how many seats I can fit. 3 seats to a row? Two rows in total? I need some advice because I have no idea how far back my seats should be for a 100" screen and 11' width.
Speaking of screen size, I'm not sure if 100" is good for me. I've read screens should be elevated 3-4 feet and one foot of space from the top. Additionally, I'm thinking of placing my speakers on the side of the screen and considering my room width is only 11 feet, will it fit? I really want that satisfaction of saying I have a 100" screen.
One last thing. I'm sorry but I have a lot of questions/problems. The material. For flooring, I currently have tile. Should I completely remove it or can I just add a rug on top of it. For the drywall, can I leave it as is or do I need to add acoustic panels.
If you can answer any of my questions or give feedback, I would appreciate it a lot! I look forward to seeing your responses!
