Re: Home Theater Build

Another good idea but subs already over in the corner and never get to turn it up that loud with the little man around anyways.

Hopefully my plans are just as epic tho.

Re: Home Theater Build

It would be epic if it was dual 12" sub enclosures but I am guessing not.

Framing the fabric then mounting and making it look nice and match the maple you assholes are going to cost me another $250 in just wood costs. I need to finish the inside of the speaker box first then i will think about it.

Re: Home Theater Build

i thought i noticed that, hence the suggestion of framing the fabric and just using that.

Re: Home Theater Build

If you look at the pics you can see there is a pony wall behind the screen i would have to build out the wall first.

My original plan was to do a paint screen with border but the contractor left the pony wall in even though i had asked for him to wall it up.

Re: Home Theater Build

I'd go with the paint as stated by Andrew. Works really well!

Here's a link to ScreenGoo Paint, you put your configuration into their system and it tells you which one works best for you.

Re: Home Theater Build

have you ever thought about ditching the (tacky) projector screen pull down and just getting the material stretched over a wood frame (or because it looks like oyu are handy do it yourself)?

Personally in the two home theatres i've done for my parents places i've chosen a grey paint for the walls and used specially designed reflective paint made for projectors for the wall area that the projector displays on. Its grey in color so whne the lights are on its hardly noticeable, but it looks very good and no gimmicky drop down screen.

Re: Home Theater Build

Time to bring this ***** back from the dead.

After having my center channel speaker laying on the floor partially blocked by our ottoman for years it was time do something about it. Over the years I could never find a wide low table that would actually fit the center channel and i didn't want it just sitting on top of a table or stand. So i built this.

Layed it out to get a feel of size.


Tried to choose a level of stain with a darker sample off to the left and cut out the speaker notch.


Decided the lighter was better as it showed more grain than the sample with 2 coats.


Added the Maple Trim and threw in the speaker




Still need to fill some corners and some sanding but it turned out pretty good for a wood project made by me.

Also some may be wondering why i made a 6' x 2' x 2' box for a 1.5' x 7" x 1' center channel and the first person to guess why the box is so damn big wins an internet cookie.

Re: Home Theater Build

be careful about going TOO big for gaming.

i installed a 108" screen in my parents place when i was still living there, and is was fine for some games, but others it was too big. you literally were having to move your head to see things, where you would just move your eyes a bit on a 52" LCD. It became really difficult for FPS's. Guitar hero was also a chore.

It pwns for movies though

soo true, even going from our old crappy 32 inch to a 52" I noticed it, especially while playing call of duty, before you could look straight ahead and not move your eyes and you could see all movement on the screen, now you actually have to move your eyes to check your surroundings haha.
