Re: House Projects
Dayum Brandon nice! That is a hella nice setup, hopefully pretty nice bang for the buck. Love to see pics of the rack and everything once it's all setup.

I thought about it and wasn't confident in my ability to do a setup like that yet. Ended up doing a simple dual-pole line voltage unit. $15 from menards. Putting all that 10-gauge wire in a single gang box was a freaking whore!!!
I have another wiring project I should post some pics of...

I'll be just up the road in Blaine at Asad's yearly SB party. I'll see if I can make something work to stop by.

Re: House Projects
Cool, if not maybe one day we grab lunch up this way and check it out.
PS - I'm sure whatever setup he has would put mine to shame, haha.

Re: House Projects
0% interest for 36 months too, so that makes it easier. Also lesson learned for me that Magnolia the prices are not fixed. Anyone else ever looking to buy from there. Make sure you try to work a deal. They knocked a butt load off for me.

Can that thing control how much gas goes to the garage heater? Or just airflow compensations How about spark timing for the gas?
And wow Brandon, that is a baller ass setup right there. I must be a cheap bastard because I can't even justify spending money on a projector, let alone that insane sound setup. At this point the projector is an afterthought on your setup (price-wise) haha. I would love to see your house some day.

Re: House Projects
Benq W1070 and a mount have been ordered off Amazon, should be here Wednesday.
Construction is starting today, so I'll be littering this thread with pics. Here's some shitty sketches I made that show the general idea of how the room will be setup.
So again, it'll be about a 100" screen (project on painted wall) w/ Benq W1070 projector. Sound will be Dolby Atmos 5.1.2. Sonance in ceiling speakers for surrounds and Atmos (these speakers don't just point down, the point at an angle). Then B&W 693 towers up front with the matching B&W center. Denon 4100 receiver. Then just use our old Samsung Bluray player. For TV we just have uber basic cable, so I have to see if Comcast can give us an HD capable converter box, otherwise I'll have to do like brownman and get an antenna/tuner setup for just OTA stuff.
Furniture we haven't bought yet, so that pic is just our idea. For now it'll just be some misc furniture in there.

Re: House Projects
Excited to see the progress. Id seriously consider not doing that open window to the other room, if I were you. I would keep it a dedicated theater room with sound insulated walls and ceiling so that sound doesnt go all through the house. We did this on my parents basement theater room in their old house, helped quiet things down.
Id also put the projected wall to be the shorter backyard wall, that way you can do stadium seating in that room with 2 couches one in front of the other. But if you keep your existing set up, it will be nice either way.
Also your downstairs is open to the lower level if i remember correctly, so the sound will travel upstairs easily.
Otherwise plan on keeping the volume down low on that serious speaker system, so the baby can sleep.

Re: House Projects
Thanks for the thoughts. I'll spare all the details, we've been thinking about this since we built the house. After 2 years of consideration of several different setups, including the way you mentioned, this is what we've finally decided on that we like best for us. To each their own!
I agree your way is better if you're going purely for a straight up movie theater.

Re: House Projects
Cool, why not get rid of the door all together and make it all open with maybe a post at the left side of the bar if its a load bearing wall?

Re: House Projects
You mean like this sketch that I made, which we highly considered, but decided against?
Like I said, we considered lots of different options, we didn't make this decision over night.

Re: House Projects
Peter forgot to mention since you mentioned soundboard, the ceiling and the wall to the furnace room will have soundboard to prevent it from atleast coming through the floor into the kitchen. The wall with the big hole, not doing any soundboard because well it has a huge hole in it haha.

Re: House Projects
Yea I figured you thought about that, just curious if its a huge added expense or why you wouldnt go with no door if you want open air. Or just frame in the door to be a square with no actual door. Although it would help with a little sound deflection if you keep it.
Not trying to tell you what to do, since you seem a bit defensive, just tossing out ideas lol.
Im surprised you arent doing the work yourself, or at least framing stuff/sheetrocking in yourself and then having someone mud and tape.
Good stuff!

Re: House Projects
I'm not feeling defensive at all, that's internet forums for ya though, say one thing and it comes off another way. Just thought I'd spare all the details of how we came to our decision because it'd be a book, so just sharing the final decision. We did consider that idea of just ditching the door and framing in that area as just a walkway. That is actually still in our playbook. I like no door, she likes door, so we had to compromise. I said OK lets just leave the door then since that's easiest. In 6 months once we've lived with it for awhile, I may end up saying man I'm glad we kept the door, or she might say man I wish we ditched the door. So at that time if we both wished the door was gone, that is exactly what we're going to do, I will just remove the door and finish/paint it as just a walkway. Quick and easy enough that I could get it done quick.
I did want to do the framing and run the electrical all myself actually. But for the last about 4-5 months I've been completely burried with the new job, full time school, and baby. Not making excuses or complaining, just how things are playing out for me at the moment and it's all good. And I still need to finish the flooring in our wine room, also have car stuff I want to get done. So just decided to get some quotes, we ended up really liking this guy, he is really excited about it too, so we just said lets do it!
You doing anything for the Super Bowl? Come on over! Hopefully it'll be done!
