Korkster,
I know the feeling of the head hurting regarding making your own theatre. For my next theatre (last theatre is in a sold house), I will going with Green Glue and double drywall all around the room. I figure keep it simple eh?

That just gives me goosebumps.
One of the most elegant and tasteful theatre installations I've ever seen. Just spectacular.
Your finish-carpentry skills are obviously pretty advanced.
Wow!

Really really nice!!!!!!! I really like the blue light in the soffits. How high of a ceiling did you have to work with? Also, some equipment closet shots would be interesting to see too. Thanks for the compliments. Ceiling is about 8 feet, about 7 feet under the soffit. You don't want to see the closet just yet. I am still waiting to buy my rack. Right now everything is sitting on an end table. when it is done, though it should look pretty cool. I have a frosted glass door, so when it is closed you should just get a hint of various colored lights shining through.

Everytime I think I know what direction I'm going to go in I read something that makes me re-think what I was going to do. At this rate I'll never get started.

Everytime I think I know what direction I'm going to go in I read something that makes me re-think what I was going to do. At this rate I'll never get started. That is what I call Home Theater Inertia, I suffered from it for a long while. Eventually you just have to start building and accept the fact that you may not do everything just right. You can drive yourself crazy with the whole sound isolation and acoustic treatment thing (1/2" drywall or 5/8"? Is Green Glue worth it? Should I build boxes around my can lights? etc, etc, etc.). Sound isolation is not as hard as you would think, but it does take some reading. As far as room treatments, do what I did. Hire someone smarter to do the design for you. Best $200 I spent during the whole build.

Thanks for the encouragement Gonzo. I think I'm going to take your advice and reach out for someone ref. the acoustic engineering issues because all I'm doing at this point is treading water and getting nowhere. I'm also going to read through your whole construction thread as soon as I get the time. The first two pages have been very entertaining :-).

The wood pannels are very elegant. Did you do them yourself?
