I posted this on the construction forum , but not getting much response so I thought I would try here...
I've been wading through all the info here which has led me to a few questions. I'm in the initial stages of planning for a budget home theater for my basement. I've attached a rough sketch of my layout and dimensions and was wondering if you have any suggestions for the theater/bar area. Please keep in mind that this is my first house and I dont plan on living in it for more than 5-6 years. Also, I'm 26 so, I dont have the finances to spend $30-40K on a HT room. I will be doing all of the work myself so that should help keep the cost down. One thing the sketch doesnt show, is that the ceiling is suspended ceiling tiles with a height of 7' The basement was already finished when I bought it so the exteriors walls are cement with drywall covering them. Sorry for the long post, just wanted to get your opinions because everything I've seen on here is amazing. Thanks in advance.
