After the TV was installed, I continued working on the rest of the room while I was waiting for the delivery of my Axiom speaker system.
Patching the drywall around the stairs.
New stairs have been finished. The color of the stain matches the TV stand and the Boston Cherry finish of the Axiom speakers
Started making acoustic panels for the walls. Found a really great deal on rigid fiberglass board, so the panels ended up costing only $9 each to make.
Acoustic panel 1X4" frame. Each full panel is 2X4'.
Stretching the fabric over the wood frame
Back of the acoustic panel, filled with fiberglass board.
Two completed panels, installed on the wall. Each panel weighs 14lbs. It is hung from the wall like a picture using two anchored picture hangers, then four small metal clips anchor each panel to the wall. I was afraid that the subwoofer might one day knock a panel from the wall...nothing ruins movie night like having an acoustic panel hit you in the head
