our house has 4 bedrooms, and a bonus room. so we had opted to use the bonus room as our dedicated theater room. by code each room has to have a window, and that room was the only one where the window placement was perfect to cover with screen.so the slanted ceiling isnt that big of a deal.
i will have 2 more rear surrounds,and a rear center shortly.as i said we just had it built so i need to save some moola for other things,plus those cables will be easy to fish out later. so for now the 5 speakers and sub is good enuff(rocks the house now).
i wanted to keep my budget under 4,000, so i couldnt get all the best equipment(amps,preamps,electric screen, fat daddy remote)
i have a infocus x1 projector=$680
denon 2105 theater reciever=$650
denon dvd player=$160
elite 120" screen=$135
polk audio euro t90e floor speakers=$350
polk audio fxi5 surround speakers=$450
polk audio csi5 center channel=$350
polk audio psw 404 subwoofer=$350
all over priced speaker,coax,optical cables=$200
skybox vending machine=$400
2 matching fake leather couch's and bean bag foot rest=$350
this thing rocks, no rainbows or noticable screen door effect.
im setting about 13 feet back from screen.even playing split screen games you still have 3-4 feet of screen apiece. any body in the area can come check it out if want, watch a scary movie its awsome. i can take the projector out side and shine it on the side of our house and have 20 foot screen,and set up lawn chairs for drive in parties.here is a pic of the custom spiderman panel i made of the skybox, looks awsome lit up. we got a consession stand stocked with candy beside it.
still more to do, but it will be pimpin when i finish it!
