One more thought on running wire, try running some central vaccum tubing to pull the wires through first. If you ever need to repull or add wire it just slides on through. I wish I had thought of this when I did my basment but have done it on a friends house since. Works great. The tubing is large enough to handle HDMI ends as well.

You mean for my video cable runs right? Since the walls are already closed up, it will be difficult for me to get tubing down the walls without seeing it. Fishing wire will be alot easier than trying to run a tube from the top of a wall down when I am blind behind the wall. I would have liked to do this, but I didn't think of running cables before I drywalled!
Lesson learned!
I am running Component, HDMI, and probably VGA. So those are really the only things I can see myself needing in the future.
Anything else can be converted to those formats (DVI-D to HDMI for example).

I'm amazed!! I think that was four hours very well spent! I'll be sending you some stuff I have on cocktail napkins to work on while I get busy building your speakers Looks like a great room!

Err, I''ll build anything you have on a cocktail napkin in leu of payment?
Thanks for the compliments, the problem is with my personality, when I get into something I REALLY get into it.
Sometimes its a good thing, sometimes its a bad thing. With Axiom, nothing bad can come of it!

Hi Hutz,
Amie just told me to check out this thread and I'm enormously impressed. We may have to run this on the Axiom web site as an example of basement home theaters. I'm sure in a few years Google will add some 3D enhancement so you could don headgear and take a virtual tour of your proposed home theater room.

Thank you for correcting the title (re:2D vs 3D). I noticed Amie then referenced back to the 2D. Oh well.
Very nice sketches. I have my entire basement detailed in AutoCAD (2D) but bringing the third dimension in really helps those who are dimensionally challenged. Some people have a hard time visualizing from a 2D image but these are very clear. Nice job.
That will be my next project to transfer my 2D into a 3D render (for the home theater).

Alan,
I am pretty speechless that you want to run this on the website! I was mearly passing time until I am able to actually purchase the system.
And I was always wondering what It would look like as well, this certainly provides an accurate description of what the room will look like as it is all to scale (except for the tweeters ).
In any case, if you really do want to use this project, drop me a PM and I'll add an AV rack and other fine tunings.
As for google adding a virtual tour, that would be pretty sweet. I am sure my wife would most certainly require a model of her dream home if they offered 3D tours!

In all fairness Sketchp is extreamly user friendly, it's just time consuming to get all the fine details.
And don't think I built those couches, google has an online database for models that a commonly used such as furniture.
Too bad they didn't have any axiom speakers in the database! I may have to upload them. Thats the great thing about Google, everything is about sharing.
