Twitch9 · 02-20-2010, 10:20 PM

Well here it is, i finally posted some updated pics, all the seating is fully reclinable and i will be soon getting the projector and screen, the plasma will remain in the room for normal TV viewing, and the projector will be for movies, gaming and some TV

Twitch9, what can I say it looks great! I love the seating and the color choice is excellent. How long did it take start to finish?

Twitch9 · 02-20-2010, 10:28 PM

Probably 8 months but more for money reasons than build time, if money wasn't an issue it should have taken 2 months at the most.

It turned out great. Nice job!

crazyBLUE · 02-20-2010, 10:48 PM

VERY NICE JOB ON THIS DIY PROJECT!

It will really shine once you get your projector & screen up.

Twitch9 · 02-20-2010, 11:47 PM

I can't wait to get the pj, i'm looking at getting the Panasonic PT-AE4000U i don't have a screen picked out yet, i will have to do some research this month.

Hey twitch i asked in your gallery but ill post it up here. What size are your panels and are they the auralex wedgies?

Again though i like the layout and color a lot.

Twitch9 · 02-21-2010, 12:23 AM

they 12" square and 1" thick, i needed to control the Mids and highs in my room so i didn't really need the 2" panels, i got them from Foambymail.com, way cheaper than auralex, with auralex brand your really paying for the name not the product. I got 50 panels with shipping to canada for $52 i think you can buy 4 or 5 panels of the other brand for that price with shipping. When looking at foam you really want to focus on the NRC ratings not the brand name.

Great job Twitch! Your patience and diligence really paid off

Scooby Blu · 02-21-2010, 01:51 AM

A great room to watch blus!

JasonR · 02-21-2010, 02:27 AM

Great job! Looks awesome!

HAMP · 02-21-2010, 03:04 AM

Beautiful room, why are you only running a 5.1?

I am only guessing, but is it because of the bi-pole speakers?

ZIPPO · 02-21-2010, 03:25 AM

He ran wires for the two rears: https://www.blu-ray.com/community/ga...&folderid=1534 .

According to this pics, he ran for all four surround speakers.

Or they just maybe hidden?

Twitch9 · 02-21-2010, 03:58 AM

everything is run for a 7.1 setup with 3 additional subs, there really is no reason to connect the back surrounds at this point there just isn't enough movies that support it. I will run 7.1 eventually when i upgrade my receiver and purchase an amp right now i'm using my back surrounds on the receiver to bi-wire the fronts.

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone

Absolutely stunning HT room Twitch9. Gave you a 10! It is well-deserved!

Yes it's all the gear that was upstairs, i replaced it with my second audio system i had laying around and got another 50" plasma for my living room, it's an LG 720p that came with the purchase of my to love seats for my HT room, so i'm not complaining it more than enough TV for the kids and the wife.
