I've always thought that bare wire or spades make a better connection than bananas. Bananas are, of course, more convenient. These are a great option because after making connection with screws you can apply solder through hole in connector. Very tight fitting into posts on speakers and AVRs.. I use ‘em. https://www.parts-express.com/Gold-Plated-Screw-Type-Banana-Plugs-14-8-AWG-16-Pcs.-091-354

Just an FYI tip for anyone who is interested … Once I’m into low gauge numbers and larger metal parts I give up on the soldering iron and switch to a small butane torch … it’s much quicker

Is that the second row seating riser? If so, are you utilizing it as a bass trap? I was wondering about the gap at the bottom front left, is there a purpose for that space? Also what is that red material on the floor, is it for squeaks/rattles or moisture barrier? The gap is for duct work. That’s floor muffler and is there to help isolate the floor from the concrete. There is a vapor barrier under that. Floor muffler will also be run between the joists and ply for the platform to prevent squeaks & I hope it might provide additional isolation.

Happy New Year! I can already envision a wall to wall 2.35 AT screen.
What is the finished height of your riser? Is it filled with insulation? What materials are you using for the walls, some of it so dark?

Hey Rich. I just installed the screen I linked to you in a new build - a 100” version. Same Aeon AT screen series. Heads up the frame is extremely thin. Plan on painting your front wall matte and dark for slight overspill if you cant tet the picture bang on lined up.

I’m still thinking about some of it’s mechanics but it’s mostly designed.

Hey Rich. I just installed the … Aeon AT screen series. Trever, I assume this is with their AcousticPro UHD screen material. Did you check out any 4k video and how close could you get (did the weave become a problem at some distance)? I’m particularly interested in .8 to 1.1 x the width
