Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Just joined the VP180 club!

Ah... I got mine from the auction, so I never looked at special order options. Its all good. Mine is going behind an AT screen anyway. A shame to hide it, but I think that I will like it a lot when done.

I'm running speaker wires for the new theater tonight... Sounds simple until factoring in that I need to plan out all of my seating so that I can get the best side surround placement. We are actually thinking of 3 rows of seats (the back row being like a counter top with bar stools setup), but I am not sure that will work without pushing the front row too close. SO much to figure out.

I like this idea A LOT.

We tend to eat a lot of dinners in the home theater, and it is a pain setting up TV trays and crap. This gives a solid surface to eat at, and then we can slide into a comfy seat for the rest of the show, or have seating for 12 if need be, albeit that barstools will get uncomfortable after a while.

I ran that idea past my wife when we moved into our house last year and it was decidedly shot down.

What were the main reasons why? This was her idea. I am the one that needs to be fully sold on it yet.

She didn't like the idea of the main seating being that far forward into the room and the furniture wouldn't have been centered on the rear wall to allow access to those bar stools, but our room is smaller than yours, only a little over 14' in that particular direction.

A little progress tonight. I only had 90 minutes of time to work in the basement, so I wired up another smoke detector for the bedroom, and then started running speaker wire. I got through about 200 feet of wire before I had to stop for the night (guy's gaming night)...

What's with all the colored tape on the ends? You are not supposed to be keeping track of them

I have a drywall company lined up to do my basement. I hope they are able to start next week. I would have done it myself but I have a tight timeline and the month and a half it would have taken me will be cut to 10 work days.

Color coded AND labeled with a Sharpie marker...I just got the fronts and rears (yes rears) ran. I need to do a bit of math to figure out where the seats are going to end up so I know where the side surrounds should go.

I just realized I haven't run the coax for possible sub runs, better get that done this weekend, the drywall goes up Wednesday.
