Looks great,how long did it take you, start to finish if you don't mind me asking?
My completed Theater with PICS!
28
I wanted to post my finished pictures as many here have helped me in the process building this room. The advice and countless rooms to draw inspiration from have been key. Must say, I have had more fun planning, and building this room, than I ever could have imagined.
This is a single 13'x23'x9' room in the basement. It is hooked up to duct fans to supply fresh air and exhaust old. Temperature stays between 66 and 70 degrees year round in this room but I have an AC unit hooked up to this duct system to add cool air when needed if I have a lot of guests.
Equipment
LCR - 4pi with JBL woofer and [email protected] DE250 CD
Side Surrounds - Athena WS100 x4
Backs - Athena WS60 x2
Ceiling - Volt 10lx coaxial for Top Front x2, Top Rear x2
IB 4 18" Fi in 1100 Cubic Feet
Emotiva XPA-1
Emotiva XPA-2
Emotiva XPA-100's x3
Behringer EP4000
Athena AS-P6000 12" x2
Marantz 7702mkII
Denon 2809ci AVR (for surround amps)
Panasonic UB900
Harmony 890 RF
JVC RS600
133" Electric HighPower 2.8 gain screen
2" OC703 on the sidewalls covered with black AT Acoustimac fabric
Guilford of Maine Clarent accent covering the walls above the OC703
OC703 super chunk and tube, sand, bass traps in the front corners
Riser framing left "open" on two sides for additional bass trapping
Posters on the side walls are fabric and dark in color. No reflection and disappear during movie.
The poster frames are covered in black velvet - ZERO reflections in the room.

116" wide high power screen that is masked to a 2.4 aspect at 50" high 126" diag
or I can have a 57"x 101 116" diag 1.78 image if I lower the screen to the max.
This gives the same viewing area for scope AND 16x9 content

Didn't even see the treadmill till you mentioned it Big

Very nice GoCaboNow,
I don't think I have seen anyone with a setup like this! Very creative in setting up a Drop down to facilitate different aspect ratios on a false wall.
Very, very cool.

Good to hear! Seems like I know many folks that are into fitness and they are expecting me to become a big blob now that the room is done. You know, watching movie after movie pounding down the candy, popcorn and beer - err I mean soft drinks.

The treadmill gets lots of action. More than the theater...

Thanks! I am toying with the idea of a star ceiling as next winters project and will be sure to check your thread closer on that as well. The wife is a little leary as the ceiling really did come out nice. She gets nervous when I start to tinker...

Thanks for the comments. I will dig some pics up and post later as I cannot access photobucket at work...

The soffits are drywall except for the face of the light tray which is a row of
2x6's. I did not texture the soffits or ceiling and worked like a dog to get the drywall seams as smooth as possible.
Original room dimensions were 13.5' x 26.5'. Finished is 13'2" x 23' as the end of the room I framed to hold the treadmill closet and rack and framed out the niche side as it was a bare concrete wall.
