Excellent work Chris. Looks like fun.
Attention to detail makes the difference, and I like the design and color of the room.
I actually like the chairs...definitely adds character to the room....add some contemporary art on the walls with a little of the same color.....bam!
Job well done. Is he using your HSU's?
Although...how do you possibly have time?

That's one heck of a project Bats!
I am in awe at your ability to take something from concept to completion with no real written plan or drawings. Even with plans and instructions, I've got at least a couple of IKEA "Billy" bookcases that I've assembled wrong!

Knowing what I know about acoustics, I imagine the bass sounds completely different when the doors in the back are opened versus when they are closed. You have basically created a pressure chamber with the wider area at the front where the subs are located. The bass produced in that area will create higher pressure in the listening area where there is less air volume. If you open the doors and allow that pressure to get out of the room, the listening area basically becomes a big channel for the high pressure coming into it from the front of the room, like a huge tuned port on a speaker cabinet.
Did you do any listening or calibration comparisons between the doors being open and closed?

^ thanks for the input Flint.
I did not do both in regards to the calibration. I only calibrated with the doors closed . Since he prefers the doors closed when the room is in use. I listened to the sound plenty with both the door open and closed when running video demos while tweaking the projector alignment. I admit I didn't really notice too much of a change however the gain on the subs had to be turned WAY down just to run the calibration. My friend Dave who does my URC programming here locally is really into acoustics and measurements, he wants to do a reading of the room. So that would be a fun experiment.

the carpentry and masonry work is awesome, but nothing compared to this personal touch. it made it feel like it was his, his and his dads. that it was more than a material space, but like a part of a home and not just a part of a house.
this speaks much about the builder, and congrats buddy, you definitely are quite the gentleman and the craftsman.
now....
questions galore.
1. that red thingy to hoist the ceiling plywood stuff, is that yours? thats an awesome contraption!
2. the center speaker stand, what finish did you use to paint it? looks awesome!
3. i see it was more of a 'cool white' feel, instead of the normal 2700k light temperature, your choice or his? very interesting...
your definitely a worksman chris, and a great person.

Wow that is some serious beautiful work. A carpenter relies on dimensions an artists see's it in his mind and puts it on canvas. An empty unused room is your canvas where serious art is transformed. Very nice if this isn't your day job it should be.
My only critical thing is the purple chairs but that's the clients choice. Serious nice work!

Jomari, thanks, your thoughts are exactly what I was after when I had the sign made for Jimmy.jomari said:
1) yeah that drywall lift is mine, I rented one to do my ceiling in the Batcave. I knew for this project I'd potentially have it for weeks and the rental fees would well exceed the cost of a cheap one so I ordered one off of Amazon. Defintely a life saver!
2) it's the Line-x spray liner for truck beds that I've put into use in the past. The original idea was brilliant and must be credited to -B- as he did his speaker stands in Line-x some 10 years ago. I then did it again for my center stand and many other items since.
3) that must be the camera, I used regular halogen flood light bulbs in the recessed cans and halogens in the track lights.
Thanks! I really appreciate the compliments! I'd love to do this for a living, maybe someday. At the very least I'm looking to transisition (slowly) into real estate and renovations. I feel like I was meant to do this kind of work I just discovered it much later. Had I known I'd enjoy carpentry and such I'd have gone a different route after high school.Srvy said:
I've discussed with other members at some recent GTGs that I now have a new dream of building my own house. Including a new HT that the layout would be built around and on top of :happy-smileygiantred:
