Thanks jomari, this thread is really useful for me as i'm picking out a ceiling mount motorized projection screen right now for my build. I wasn't thinking that I would need to buy the screens with an extension, but maybe I do! I was already going to get a pj with lens shift, as I was debating...

So @Botch, I just re-read this and don't know how I missed previously that you were suggesting that I could feed air into that room from the HT area. But then @Flint mentioned you'd want to isolate the sound from the rear of the cone from going into the HT area. So between you two i'm confused...

Where did you find those grommets? I ended up buying a couple of these, http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=109&cp_id=10425&cs_id=1042509&p_id=3997&seq=1&format=2, but I'm liking the smaller footprint of your setup.

haha, if anyone could pull of that setup, i'd guess it would be Bats. Actually the one time i was there, I thought I remembered a "service closet" on the right side by his rack equipment that he mentioned for an IB setup...

thanks for the awesome breakdown Flint! That's really helpful. Doing the drivers in a door is an interesting idea as well. For the woofer you linked to, the Vas is 7.49 cu ft , so that would mean I'd only need a @ 75 cu ft area per woofer, or @ 150 cu ft for the whole setup? I think my...

this is true. I'd really hate for anything I do to the home theater to effect my heating system! It's already 20+ years old lol.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I'm a little worried about vibration of the Hvac equipment or since the gas line comes into the house there. Plus I'd have to seal up every crevice of that room (as I can see the subfloor above e.g), but I'm not really familiar with what it takes to install a...

Wow, an incredibly classy look. I was thinking the "stone" was acoustical foam of some kind! I echo the other sentiments, as well, That 3d sign was the perfect touch.

i buy the precut ones, haha! 1 foot of fishing at a time :angry-banghead:

Re: Sub placement Going back to the question i alluded to, I'm having trouble selecting an ideal place for a subwoofer. I originally was going to do an in-wall solution, likely the Paradigm RVC12-SQ, (I looked at Triad too), but after going to the local dealer and speaking with him, he...

OK, here are the promised shots: Screen wall, upon which I have made 2 "alcoves" for my floor standing speakers. I plan on putting OSB on this front wall, then drywall. The "alcoves" will be a bit over 12" wide once done. My front speakers are about 44" tall, so I think I'll put some...

So I do like the setup for the audio, as it's really just for background music. I bought a Sonos at Xmas time, and that's been a really nice edition; just turn on a keypad, it remembers the last "source" you had selected, so I just plugged the Sonos into one source input and control the queue...

Pauly, So that wall was existing, and near the floor is a large air return vent right incorporated into that wall. I did scale that "jog" down a little, and pushed that mechanical room wall adjacent to the screen about 3-4 inches closer to the HVAC, but i couldn't move it further than that...

Hi Andy. Yes, it's a walkout basement, the french doors you see open to our driveway/back yard, but at the bottom of the stairs we're underground about 5 ft.

Hey all, For most of those that haven't met me, I'm Saldog's brother, and had asked for some help choosing some whole house distro system (found here http://www.theaudioannex.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=6972&hilit=zone) and now that our addition is done, I'm on to my own basement build...
