CECAA850 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 To the matter at hand, anyone have a particularly good site for calculating the distance she should be from the screen, screen size, projector location while she peddles? I know there are many to choose from. Would like to get the slad to drop in the correct spot behind seating row, (or peddling it appears) 1. Thanks IT I've read that ideally, the main seating position should be about 2/3 of the way back in the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerTuber Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Time for an update. First we need some power. Had to run a new transformer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 InnerTuber, Looks like the beginnings of a very nice home. Where in FL are you located? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerTuber Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Now for a question. Does anybody know where to get flush mount wall brackets to hang KPT-250 surrounds from? Says they are industry standard mounts, but I'm not seeing much. Would like a flush mount that wraps and attacked to the sides assumming that would keep the speaker closer to the walll than a rear mount. Thanks IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerTuber Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 About 20 miles NW of downtown Tampa. Kind of horse country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerTuber Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Oh, backup power coming. We lose power and are low priority to restore zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerTuber Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Framing of theater room. Screen end is flush mount wall with 4 foot access to rear. 2-24" doors either side. Subs going in front wall, not the best. Compromise with wife. Left 24" cutouts for when I figure out subs. Probably some forward firing tall behind the wall things. Other 3 cutouts are for left, middle, center. Had to have a couple windows to not mess up exterior facades. Rear wall is 2x4's offset. Should help mitigate sound a little from travelling, but there are really so many big doors it won't much matter. We're not too worried about sound moving thru the house. Might shoot some icene (sp?) to fill a few spots in the trusses. Probably dbl drywall with green glue that rear wall.

InnerTuber Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) And for the front 3, introducing madness. Set up for a test drive in the rental house while we wait for occupancy. If Bo_e can make your hair blow, these can rip skin off and sound grand while doing so! I run a sub with them, but I'm not sure I need one untill I try to get rediculously low. They go about as low as a mid-road sub. Kinda like I never really needed a sub with KHorns. But I suppose everything helps Edited March 30, 2014 by InnerTuber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) About 20 miles NW of downtown Tampa. Kind of horse country. I would guess in the Keystone/Odessa area. Oh, backup power coming. We lose power and are low priority to restore zone. Yeah, I wish we had just bit the bullet and installed a backup generator when we built the house in 2005. Luckily, we have not lost power for more than 1.5hrs in the lat 8.5 years, neither have we had a year like 2004(Charley, Francis, Jeanne).

InnerTuber Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Good guess. I don't remember exactly what I decided on w/o reading, but it's a monster. It's propane (sadly) 72Kw, no gas where we are. Should run the entire house if we want it too. Buillder started out with 12Kw to keep the fridge and one a/c running. Generac. I like Kohler too, but the Generac is nice as well. Still a LOT of stuff to figure out about this, particularly the electrical and audio/video distribution for the house. Probably end up with Savant controller. Anyone have really stong opinions on wi-fi brands? Think I need 4-6 wired access points and a switch. I'm only half dumb on that stuff.

The Dude Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Looking good, looks like some heavy hitters for speakers that won't disappoint. As for WiFi I have a netgear45 something or another. It has a 1 gig switch wired for 4. That's the most I can tell Ya. Keep up the good work and photos.

babadono Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Just a idea(something I was thinking of doing in my basement/control room). But there are some some 12 volt triggered powered strips, and or boxes with outlets. I was wondering if there is something else like that, that one could wire a couple of outlets to so when they turn on the home theater receiver it would turn on the power amps(of course mainly for the ones using commercial power amps with out 12 volt triggers).Yes you could always trigger a relay that would then power up some power amps. I've been doing it for 25+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I see the race is on... I know I'm slow but it's going to be really embarrassing if you build your entire house before I get my stupid little room done. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
