Hehe,
Thanks for the replies. I didn't think anyone would...
Yeah, I am just starting this project and I have no definite plans.
Thats why I am trying to do some research and get some references.
For now I think I will be focusing on sound proofing design and then acoustics.
I will be moving to a new house in the next few months and when I saw the basement I thought, "I am so gonna build a home theater here!"
As for the room layout, I am still unsure about size. I plan on using this room mainly for watching movies and tv. Maybe hook up my computer with wireless av device.
Right now my budget is undecided because I still need furniture, but it will be easier to build the room now and then worry about components later. Good ol' inflation, technological advancement and falling prices will help me out in that department.
The most I got out of google was double drywalling is ok, but building a separate staggered frame is better. I was possibly thinking of concrete walls, but I know that will be pricey as well as more complicated.
Having a raised floor should improve boom from a sub.
But all this information is just from a couple of sites and I really don't want to spend a lot of money and time building redundant things.
So that's the gist of what I am trying to do. I could pay someone to do it but where's the fun or pride in that (as well as I really dont have the money to anyways)?
Any more info or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
