Ceptorman Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Sorry about the Granny comment, just my silly attempt at humor Quote
MercedesBerater Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 I found it funny. One guy holding drywall and screwing to ceiling while a wife and her mom hold the other end! Comical. I told them everyone who helps gets free admission when it's all done 1 Quote
MercedesBerater Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Made an addition today.... Output from left (new) sub seems much weaker than right. Guess it really does need some break in time? Set both to exact same 'gain' and the older one (maybe 6 months old?) has more excursion & so more more power! Just used a normal 'Y' splitter. Plugged them both into LFE on back of sub. Think it's break in? Or should I change something? Edit: Spread a little wider... Try and max out the width of this temporary room...

Ceptorman Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Looks like the ideal width room, very nice. All that copper looks mean, especially the subs 2 Quote
MercedesBerater Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 It works for now..... That's their temporary home. 12' x 14' New home (when done) 16x25 2 Quote
MercedesBerater Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 Called Klipsch tech support. Nice guy knew exactly what was wrong when I told him what both new/old subs are doing. He said the first batch of the Reference subs Gain was causing issues with SOME receivers and making a hum noise. So my new sub has a revised gain control. He said the gain on the newer subs is about 1-2 tick marks different. So if my old sub is set to 4:10 The new sub should be 5-6:10 For equal gain settings. That makes me feel better- I had upped the gain on new sub last night so they appeared to have equal excursion - and I ended up about 5.5:10. Not super concerned with precision as these babies are in their temporary home- Close is good enough. 2 Quote
MercedesBerater Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 My ceiling speaker enclosures have arrived!!! Finally... I can finish my ceiling!! So stoked. 1 Quote
MercedesBerater Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 Working on columns, Ceiling boxes are in. Assistance is coming over tomorrow to help finish up ceiling drywall. Column is in a temporary,, look at me position. You maybe able to see my pen marks to its right where the real location will be after I get drywall on ceiling up, and paint. 2 Quote
MercedesBerater Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 Two more sheets up on the ceiling... Picked up paint to start doing the front wall. Holes are cut out around the ceiling Atmos enclosures. Two more sheets on ceiling and I'm officially at the halfway mark!!! 3 Quote
MercedesBerater Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 Took two days off of work next week. I'll be finishing mud/tape/sanding as much as possible this week & hope to get paint on walls on my Thursday-Friday off! Paint will make all the difference. Unfortunately after this it all gets expensive again, Projector, carpet, screen, acoustic panels, processor / amps, Theater chairs, rear riser... So it'll be very slow going from here on out I think.. Quote
Ceptorman Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Looks good….drywall is a tough game, but rewarding when finished. Quote
agile1966 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Looks fantastic. Great work. I really like the looks of the columns. 1 Quote
MercedesBerater Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks! They turned out super nice. I think once I get the paint up here in a few days it'll all really come together! Quote
MercedesBerater Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 Second column.... I'm using the columns as a stopping point for paint- cuz I dont have it all at once. That way there's no indication where one can started and one can stopped. Next up... Paint! I just can't wait any longer. I need some color in this damn room! 1 Quote
MercedesBerater Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 Paint!!!!! Sweet. It matches my random pick for stain! Awesome. And I know it'll match the acoustic panel color, they sent me swatches to pair up. The walls are brown with a red tint, The acoustic panels (someday) will be brown with even more red tint to it. 5 Quote
Ceptorman Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Looks great, I'll bet you are liking the progress huh? Quote
MercedesBerater Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 Paint is such an easy task but makes a huge difference! Soon will be working on rear riser. Gotta build up some funds and arrange a vehicle to haul lumber again... It's really coming together... Slowly- like the title says.. But it's coming together like I envisioned. So that's cool. 1 Quote
agile1966 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Like the color. What color are you going to do on the ceiling? Quote
MercedesBerater Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I'm thinking the same color & then use crown molding to break up the ceiling / wall intersection. Also, keep in mind the walls and some of ceiling will have acoustic panels all over them. Which will break up the huge expanse of brown everywhere. (Which is also why I'm thinking about the same color, don't want too much going on in the room.) Edited November 13, 2015 by MercedesBerater Quote
