I don't think I'm allowed to play yet because I'm still in the construction phase.

But if anyone wants any construction pictures, I have a basement finishing thread with pictures of the theater.

I went the full soundproofing route with clips, channel, backer boxes, dedicated HVAC, double 5/8" drywall and Green Glue.

I just started the subfloor in the theater. Then it's on to the riser, columns and fabric.

So if you're in the doghouse, you have to watch on the 13" CRT on the side couch?!?

Ha Ha Ha Ha!
My son uses it for Smash Bros. Tournements and he"s a Bass Player and uses it as a music room.
The acoustics are very good in this room.

Zootopia is fantastic. I'd love to watch it on a 100" screen. When can I come over?

Anytime.

I don't really have a home theater system... I got tired of my 4 y/o throwing things and breaking my TV's so I got this.... it's not like a lot of yall's. I went bargain style, wanted to spend what I would on a new TV . It does the trick and my whole family loves playing the Wii u and watching movies.

80" screen - $60
Epson 780p projector - $350
1000 watt Sony surround sound - $200
Mount,wires,cable channels, etc. - $70

I can't see any problems with that. I took the light fixture down and wired a double plug in the ceiling and then mounted my projector close enough to plug it in.

Mine is finished except for a door and the second row of seating. It's just my wife and I, so I'm in no hurry to do the second row.

I went the full soundproofing route (Clips, channel, DD & GG) since my master is directly above the theater. The front walls and ceiling are Velvet covered panels covering dampening material. It absorbs the sound reflections under the soffit and eats up the screen wash. The rest of the walls are AT fabric covering a mixture of absorption and diffusion.

My Dad and I built the entire thing.

Thanks! I didn't have the room in my first house either and had to wait until we moved into our "forever home" about 2 years ago.

It' was worth the wait though.

Where do you guys get your carpet/flooring at?

Mine was a custom order through the local carpet place. It's Masland Quadrate and the color is called Times Square.

I just found this. I will snap some pictures of my theater/bar this evening and post them up.

Here is my theater room/bar. Mitsubishi 82" DLP 1080P TV, Pioneer Elite LX502 receiver, Paradigm Servo 15 sub, MB Quart S1030 Fronts (bi-amped), MB Quart S330 Center, MB Quart S830 Rears, Micro Seiki BL51 turntable (used to be my main turntable until I got my Garrard 301 for my main system), Pro-Ject Tube Box S phono preamp, and whatever booze that was not crushed at my July 4th party...

Following. Will post mine later

For me it was features, later upgrade-ability, cost, and ability to run games with lights on or off without worrying about washing out screen...Also, for the size of my room, 17x15, a 75 - 85 inch screen is plenty big, any larger would lead to eye fatigue and a 4k/future 8k have far more features / true blacks etc than a comparative priced projector

Here's looking out of the room and around the corner (The theater lobby)

And now representing the low budget end... King sheet with aluminum pipes (think giant scroll) only 2 clamp screws to loosen to take out back for home drive in in summer.
