I want to get a dedicated home theater for my basement finished fast.. I want to get started within the next week or two!! (yes very short notice I know.. sorry about this)
I already know how I want it setup as I have found contractors for the labor for the carpentry, drywall, electrical, carpeting, etc and know more or less the "look" I want...
But need some final advice and tips from the experts and hobbyists in this forum.
I have also purchased the Projector, HTPC, and most of the Sound Equipment except for the actual screen itself and some Misc. Items.
My equipment list that I have bought already is as follows:
THINGS YET TO BUY: 2x Infinity BETA ES250 (Surrounds) [ this will get me 2 pairs of side surrounds] 3x BIC Acoustech Cinema Series H100 Powered Subs (to complement the main fronts) 1x A/B Speaker Selector with OHM Protection (for the wiring the 2 pair side surrounds safely) 1x Rack for AV Gear 2x X-Arcade Solo game controllers Light Dimming system for ceiling lights (must be compatible with Logitech Harmony 1000) Rope Lights (for floor corners and stairs to basement) Movie Posters and Poster Frames ?- Fabric for Walls ?- Scoun Lights for Walls ?- 4x Buttkickers.. (one pair for couch and one pair for love seat)
Since you already seem to have everything all I can add is watch your room size. A room 8 x 8 x16 is a problem room, a better set up would be 8x13x19 none of the dimesions are divisiable by one another. Your title THX Certified makes no sense since nothing you have is THX Certified. One thing I'm wondering is how are going wire the projector since your receiver has no HDMI switching. Are you going with component wires? If yes were is your up grade path.
