Default Might've gone a bit overboard with my home theater

So I bought a house a couple of months ago after having lived in an appartment for the last 18 years. Previously my living room doubled as office, home theater and living room. It was a mess but it worked and I was happy with it. The house on the other hand has enabled me to separate these functions into separate rooms. Finally a dedicated home theater so I went all out.

This is the room I wanted to convert. Dimansions are 3.15m x 4.56m. Height is 2.36m:


A wooden skeleton was erected to house an artificial wall for acoustic materials, hiding the cables etc. Around the edges at the ceiling is a "box" to house spotlights (dimmable) as well as the fiber HDMI cable running to the projector (through the red pipe). The two round white objects in the ceiling are two of the four ceiling mounted speakers:


A very homemade ceiling mount for the projector. To the left is the back-right Atmos speaker:


A hole was cut into the wall for the surround back speaker:


The speaker is mounted. It's an MK LCR950 speaker. Behind the black fabric is insulation material. To help with acoustics, pieces of wood was mounted at an angle:


This was done on all the walls:


The rear surround speaker from before and one of the side surround speakers (the in-wall edition of the MK LCR950). The wood pieces have been roughly painted so they won't be visible through the perforated fabric used later on:


The right wall side. The radiator was painted black. The windowsill as well as the windows are covered with black film in order to minimize incoming light. On the outside, the windows are covered with a reflective film that keeps out the heat of the sun as well as giving a mirror effect so it doesn't look black. The thermostat has been painted black after I took the picture. Note the black plastic frames along the edges of the walls. They are for the sound transparent fabric:


Walls and ceiling is finally covered in sound transparent fabric. The projection box has been painted and the inside covered in sound dampening material:


This was the wall with all the wooden bars and the two speakers. Spotlights have been mounted along the ceiling edges:


Love how the projection mount turned out:


Now, we aren't done with the project yet but check out how far we've come from the first image I posted to how it looks now:


Things still missing:
Mounting the screen. Hopefully this will be done later today.
Hooking everything up; receiver, projector, speakers. Also later today I hope.
Professional calibration of projector and sound setup. My expert is out of town next week but he'll do it when he gets back.

Can't wait to test it out when everything is up and running. Will post more pictures when the screen and all the equipment is installed.
