Hi-
I have a ton of newbie questions specific to HT constuction. Unlike many of the other forums I participate here at AVS, I cannot find a primer. That said, here are my questions.
I have a ton of newbie questions specific to HT constuction. Unlike many of the other forums I participate here at AVS, I cannot find a primer. That said, here are my questions.
- Are there any basic, wiring rules of thumb? Dedicated circuits? Speaker wire runs and material? Use of coax? etc.
- What is RSIC and HAT Channel?
- What are the purposes and benfits of a stage?
- Are the ideal room dimensions? How about dimensions to avoid?
- Why do you put columns in a Home Theater, especially with the space constrained?
- How do you build columns? For what purposes?
- Are there any rules of thumb regarding lighting? (Cans? Ropes? Soffits? Ambience? Etc.)
- Why build a soffit? Any tips? What effect on the HT?
- Wood studs versus aluminum?
- In a given rectangular room, would you build or put angles of some kind in the corners?
- How do you do one of those cool, star ceilings?
- Any other tips/tricks?[/list=1]
Now, I think I know some of the answers, and at the same time I am sure I am not the only one with these types of questions.
Thank you all for the help!
