Dont worry I will be getting theater seats and other accesories along the way, any other ideas?

Someone PM'd me and said to post some details, so here they go.

Some other details on the buidling of it.

1) I used all SOLID core doors, even in the closet.

2) I used R13 insulation on the walls with cinderbloc behind it. Any internal walls are 2X8's and spaced 12 inches apart. I used R 19 on that. I bought it in 2foot width and CUT in half! YUCK! I put R 19 insulation above ceiling tile.


3) THose sconces I bought at LOWES for $20! Really nice with a dimmer switch


I am getting pretty good sound insulation EXCEPT for the awesome base the SVS PB12-Plus/2!!! This is an AWESOME sub!!


Projector is the Panny PT-AE900U for a projector

Denon 2805 receiver

Paradigm 9's for the front and The CC 350 for the center

Looking for another DVD player, my 8 year old Onkyo dvd is playing better than a brand new upscaling Philips! Probably going oppo


Any other question, just ask

Well Done! It's very nice. I have to say, the color of your ceiling makes the room seem of infinite height. I dig.

So you just have insulation in the walls and ceiling and did not double drywall? This is what I am planning but wondered how much sound will come out of the room.

Nice theater and nice house. The curved archways are quite a nice touch. Enjoy.

I just used single drywall, but I am sure DOUBLE drywall would better. I was thinking of cost and labor, and I really didnt need alot of sound isolation. I figured that with 2x8's and r-19 insulation, it would be enough. My home theater is UNDER my garage as well and the 2 outside wall are cinder block with 2X4's and sheet rock. . I also put the R-19 above my ceiling tile. I thought with that SVS sub that the bass would really go thru anything, especially since the 2X8's i used tied in directly to the bottom of the house.


Its like alot of things in life. I am sure I have eliminated 60-70% of the sound that double sheetrock would of given me at a fraction of the cost and labor.
