Thanks Shawn and Gerry,
I'll try to expand...The total sq. ft. of our basement is probably 2100sq ft, our home is a ranch design we had built about 3 yrs ago. Instead of traditional poured foundation, we went with "Ice Block", there are many names for this these days, but it is basically foam forms with rebar and voids beteen them, they are filled with 8" of concrete. Very very efficient, you can place your hand on the foam and it starts getting warm to the touch in a few seconds. Anyway, I did not have to frame the exterior walls, as this material has plastic grids every foot you can screw the drywall into. So I can't use exterior walls for venting.
One half of the basement is about 1,000 Sq Ft and it all open, this will be my rec room/bar/pool table/ HT/walk out area...There are currently 3 heating vents up on the ceiling vents shooting downwards in that room.
The other half we framed with interior walls, consisting of a bathroom, extra bedroom/office, storage room, and work out room. The furnace is in the same area as the storage/work out areas, as i don't plan to finish this area.
The main runs of the heating/coldair run the entire length of the basement in the center. I'm pretty sure I can use one of the cavities from our hallway wall leading back to the bathroom/bedroom, and come strait down from the cold air run, and place a register near the floor in the hallway. Also, in the storage room and work out area, i'm sure I can add some low in there as well. The problem is in the bedroom/bathroom/ and larger entertainment side of the basement. Unless I'm not seeing an opportunity, it looks like I may have to place them higher, near the ceiling. I'm sure the one in the hallway, which will be pretty much centrally located will help, but our basement is pretty big...now the one in the hallway is opposite the wall in the pool table area, so I guess I could put one on the other side of the wall also...
