Blaze98 theater build, need input

[walmat]

Your room is really starting to look good.

thank you! its great to see it finally starting to come together. the hardest part is finding the time to work on it while still doing a full remodel on the house and having family time

Update: we got 80 percent of the cabling ran. I hooked up my 30ft 22 gauge HDMI high speed cable from monoprice and everything was working great got it ran in the wall, everything was hooked up and was really pumped with how everything was looking and working. 4 days ago I was watching a movie with the kids and lost signal to the tv, so i figured a cable had come loose everything was in tight. traced it back to the HDMI cable, it is so thick it was pulling up on the output port on my receiver and loosing signal. I think the cable has a short in it.

So i contacted monoprice and did their customer service chat, all I have to say is their company is great and everything I order from them I am reminded of why I keep going back. They set up a RMA for the bad cable and told me for my setup I should be using the 30ft Ultra Slim High Performance HDMI® Cable w/ RedMere® Technology

its 46.00 vs the 30.00 for the other cable but it is a normal thickness so I just need to wait for them to get more instock then I will order one. So I guess that means the theater room is down until I get that cable, which isn't so much a bad thing as I will have a reason to do more work on the house

anyways I will update more photos soon. My wife found alot of Home theater and Cinema signs at Hobby lobby for 50-75% off so we will be putting those up as well.

I'm waiting for that cable myself for my basement. I've ordered a bunch of stuff and I was waiting and waiting for it to be in stock. I finally got fed up and placed my order for a bunch of stuff so that I can begin wiring up my basement.

Let me know what you think of it once you get your hands on it.

I got my cable and its great! i wish i could get one to replace all of my normal HDMI cables. it works great and I've had no issues at all with it!

I am still not done with the Theater Room but its getting closer. I am uploading a few more pics. again all of the cables and kits have come from Monoprice.com!

UPDATE****

The theater room is really coming together now I am about 95% done with the construction side of it and I am now working on the equipment side (speakers) as I realizing that the 7.1 system is not sounding up to par, and the fact that i have mixed brands with my fronts and sub being Cerwin Vegas (at least 10 years old) center a Sony center channel ( 6-7 years old ) and Yamaha satellites as rears and surrounds.

I am waiting to pull the trigger on a pair of POLK monitor 60 series II and a CS2 Center channel. I have them in the cart just waiting to hit purchase they have to be better than what i am running now. anyways here is what i have so far









Like i said its getting there...... my middle child had her birthday party at the house today and we had a movie theater themed party with a red carpet and popcorn and candy hotdogs and nachos, it was great and the 10 kids that were here laying on the floor had a blast watching LION KING on the 73 inch TV.

Dont mind the mess in the media closet, had a switch go bad on us and i had to re run some cabling and dont have it hidden and tied back yet.

Finally got some pics off my phone of the Prosub 800 I have better ones I will post tonight. This thing packs a massive punch and I can't believe the sound from something this small. Not bad for something I picked up for $107.00 on clearance at Best Buy. Amazon shows it books for 400.00 http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Tec...rds=prosub+800
Has a few chips in the wood as it was a display model and the fact it's white and stands out like a sore thumb with all my black equipment but I love it.... Will post pics of my new Polk center and fronts
Tonight

ya i 2nd the idea of the cabinet for the tv then you can hide speakers inside it to make it look like one big massive thing of awesome

Blaze, good to hear from you again. Great deal on the sub.

[Blaze98]

also been playing around with a touchscreen jukebox to mount on one off the walls in the theater room that ties in with the theater sound. still in the testing phase but its pretty cool none the less. I picked the 18 inch touch screen for 70$ on ebay and put together a pc with some spare parts I had.
