I have been reading these forums for months trying to soak up as much info as possible. Some days I feel more confused than when I started, and other days I feel like I have actually accomplished something. I started wanting a very basic room, and the more I read the more I want. Sometimes I ask myself How did I get here, and what should I do next? I figured I should finally start my own build thread, so here is the story and plan.
My new house is being framed now and I am going to have a home theater in the bonus room over the garage. The room will be 14'6"W, 22'4"L, and have 8' ceilings(knee walls starting a 5' and sloping 12:12.) There is one window at the end of the room where I plan to put the screen.

I have a contract price on the house and the builder has agreed to add two layers of drywall, and I am going to supply the GG. We only discussed DD+GG on the ceiling and walls. Do you think I should double up plywood floor with GG between them? The room is over a garage so I'm not sure if sound leakage into that room is a problem. The house should be finished in Late September, so I have to make a lot of decisions in what seems like a very small amount of time. Budget is also a major concern and I would like to keep the project under 6,000. Anything more will have to be added in time.
I plan to have 9.2 system in the room, and I already have most of the equipment I want to use.
Equipment:
Onkyo txnr-1007 (already have)
Emotiva XPA-5 (already have)
Polk RTI-A9 fronts (already have)
Polk CSI-A6 Center (already have)
FXI-A4 side and rear surrounds (already have)
RTI-A1 height (will purchase later)
Klipsch RW-12D ( will upgrade when budget permits)
I plan to have a 120” 16x9 fixed frame screen. I would like to go bigger, but I don’t think the dimensions would work. I picked up a B stock RS-40 from AVS last week, so at least I have gotten that piece of the puzzle.
I’m planning on using a very dark brown for the ceiling color and a lighter shade for the walls, with a coffee bean GOM material for the screen wall.
I’ll post some picks of the framed room ASAP. Any help or advice would really be appreciated.
