here's the dimensions of the wall the screen is going on. theres no windows at all, its above my garage. its sound deadened real good, etc. we just never got equipment for it. its pre wired for 7.1 surround, an outlet, etc on the ceiling where the projector will go, etc. we will be getting theater seats (nothing big) but its just a small little HT. want a nice screen, whatever the biggest 16:9 screen we can fit on that wall. i know at least a 100" will fit, possible 110-120" at the most. recomend me a projector as well. my dad wants a 1080p, but at the same time, dont need anything thats top line. i think hes looking for something in the 1200-1500 ish range. its not gonna be used daily, but when we use it, he wants a nice picture. sound, not sure on budget, but id rather build a nice 7.1 setup, than buying a pre made one. give me ideas there. (reciever, speakers, sub/amp etc) ill get some pics of the actual room and post them in an hour or so, but until then, here is a diagram of the wall the screen will be on, and the dimenisons, in inches.

you get to the room from the second story inside lol.

havent done anything new on those yet lol

yea sound advice by me is having a "sale" although the prices arent really cheaper at all..no deals from what i saw (on ca, or home audio, tvs or anything) still sucks becuase every now and then id go in there just to look, as its one of the nicer shops around

kinda hard when im working in a mini cooper with 2 18s loll anyways, i have the other 3000d, but my electrical at the moment prevents me from using it

put the MTs in today on one 3000d @ .5, i wanna get it metered, but its pretty loud with just one amp...when i get both in there its gonna be nasty.

vid mess fun with a semi truck the back got lower with the subs, for sure

what did you tint the tails with, they look like they have a flat finish to them.

run a 100.2 per each 8 mids (2 amps total for all 16) or for that matter, just get the new 125.2, either way, itll see at LEAST 50w per driver. i have 16 of the same mids, and gonna run them off of 2 100.2s, 4 per channel, at 2 ohms im gonna use a 100.4 for my tweets

all 16 tweets............lol the 16 mids will be powered by 2x 100.2s (8 mids per amp) i was going to get a 100.4 for all 16 tweeters, i think i came up with a 3.3 ohm load per channel (4 mids per channel) each tweet is 3 ohms, DMM reads 3.3 ohms.... what would be the best way to do this? really dont need more than 25w per tweeter at most.

that tool would have been helpful, but ill only use it once, thats why i dont own one. lol

it wasent supposed to be a HT, its above the garage. but we didnt need 2 attic's, so we made this into a small HT. not something thats gonna be used daily. for what it is, i think itll come out pretty nice. no windows, deadened and insulated to hell

i know

we are going to run 5.1 its just wired for 7.1.... its actually not even wired right. the guy that wired it messed up, and my dad didnt notice it until i pointed it out. he didnt run wires for the center channel or the sub. we'll just have to run them and hide them somehow.

im sure theyll be fine, but probably better if mounted not upside down. they may get a little hotter since heat rises, and the heat will just rise up, and the amp will be there, where the heat is rising if that made any sense

im just gonna screw some 1x2s into the studs, and hang it that way. where the side speakers will go, if we do 7.1....ill prally just leave those capped off, and run 5.1 only. rear channels even got the theater lights

1. im doing a boarder around that screen, so the 108 x 60.75" screen that im building now, will stay 108 x 60.75" 2. im putting a sheet of 1/4" over the whole thing, so the screen material has a flat surface to sit on. 3. not sure yet how im going to hang it. 4. the projector will be on the ceiling, so nothing will block it. we arent sure what we're using for seats, but itll work out. 5. ive already started, so unless this screen doesnt look good when finished, ill try the paint method. i think this will work though. 6. not yet. its all pre-wired though, the projector is going to be hanging from the ceiling, dead center with the wall the screen will be on.

what i got done in about 30 minutes. still have a lottttttttttt of bracing to do. i cant find the material i need locally that is wide enough. its all 54" wide (i knew i wouldnt find anything locally) so im going to have to order it in 72" width online i guess. my width is 60.75".......

would 1 or 2 of these subs work? http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=295-468

got the screen planned out. ill build it tomorow. 124" viewing area, 108" wide, 60.75" height (give or take a few tenths on the height) theres about 1" from the corners of the screen, to the angled ceiling. im not gonna build a boarder on the screen. after its installed, we can put a small boarder around it. i think its gonna come out very nice.

unless wired at 8 ohms LOL

i found the info here, ill make the screen tomorow. http://www.projectorreviews.com/advice/scr...ulatescreen.php

LMAO how come 7.1 is pointless (i can explain it to my dad when he asks why) also, im gonna start with the easiest things first (IMO) the projector, and even easier, the screen. we were going to order one, but trying to find the biggest screen to fit within the angled ceiling, is hard. then he mentioned painting the wall... we were gonna smooth it and paint a screen, but then i saw a DIY write up, this guy made a frame from like 1x2's, and then stretched the white "blackout" curtain material over it. i think its the same material the alot of the actual projector screens use. i think that would work the best, i can build it the biggest to fit, and cover it in this material. in total, itll be maybe 35$ in materials. my only question is, how do you know you have the right height and length of the screen, to keep it within the 16:9 ratio and not have it thrown off (for instance, if its 44" high, how wide would it be?) also, i edited the top pic. there is 2 outlets along the bottom, i added them in so you can see the max dimensions for the screen.
