I was wondering if you guys might be able to help me. I am helping my cousin finish his basement right now, and this got me thinking about my basement. The area where I would like to put my theater is about 15ft wide by 17 feet deep by about 7.5 feet tall.
The problem, as I see it, is the main house HVAC ductwork that goes along one side, 17ft side, completely. Now I was going to make a soffit out of this, but the soffit looks like it will stick out into the room almost three feet, and I was going to build another one on the other side to try to keep it looking symmetrical, but my question is: Will the two soffits, which will equal 6 of the 15 feet, cause any problems will trying to project an image onto a screen? I have spent all day today searching the forum, using different terms, and going through multiple soffit threads, but couldn't find anything describing what I feel might be a possible problem. I guess I am concerned that the bottom of the soffit might interfere with the top corners of the screen.
Also, what is the recommended height for the screen to be from the floor?
Thanks in advance, you guys are always very helpful on this forum.
