    Enter to Win: A7-700 Subwoofer from Elemental Designs!

    No room treatments, looking for style I do not currently use room treatments. I am looking for something that is stylish that blends in. Most room treatments now are relatively large and unsightly.

    $30 charge to hook up cable box

    Solution What if they had a waiver that allowed more technically competent people to hook up their own equipment? They refuse to give out the HD DVRs at the local cable locations. I wouldn't be so bitter about it, but when they "installed" it yesterday, it took about 2 minutes and he was...

    $30 charge to hook up cable box

    I called my cable provider to get another HD DVR for our bedroom. Not only did they want $20 additional a month for the box, but they are charging me $30 to install said box. The guy at the cable co claims that people that installed these themselves were somehow hooking them up wrong and...

    Baylor Theater

    I got my initial idea for the dvd shelves from the Black and Decker website. The plans were spot on and worked very well. I just had to compensate for the unsquare (is that a word) wall with shims because the previous homeowners did an interesting job putting up walls. Here are the...

    I think the 1015 is a great receiver. It has great features for the money. I picked the 1016 for my parents and I am not as keen about how it looks. The 1015 has the super sleek cover, whereas the 1016 has a mish mash of exposed buttons. The performance is almost identical. I have no...

    Baylor Theater

    I do have plans for front projection. When I feel like taking the 3K plunge I am going for 92 or 100" screen with Panasonic PT-AE2000E. The 48" Mits will have to do for the time being.

    The seating is from American TV in Rockford, IL. They had Berkline chairs there, but there was no way they were going to fit in our budget. These chairs are relatively reasonably priced Coaster Co. of America seats.

    Baylor Theater

    My wife and I have been working for about a year on our dedicated theater build, and I thought it was about time to show it off. We have done all of the work in the theater except for the carpeting, which was installed on Tuesday. We were even crazy enough to build custom DVD shelves. "IKEA...

    Differences in fiberglass insulation

    Thank you for all of your help! I am going to try and find some mineral wool local and build them that way. Would you say 4" mineral wool in panels for the corners at an angle and 2" for the side, front, and back walls. I assume the most important places to treat are early reflection...

    Differences in fiberglass insulation

    I was going to staple the insulation to the frame from the rear using the facing. I also had no real intention of bass control with these panels, but was curious what the properties might be. Proper bass control will come along later. So the layers from front to back would be burlap, batting...

    Differences in fiberglass insulation

    Thanks for the response. Generally where can these materials be found locally? I don't recall seeing mineral fiber anywhere (in home stores).

    I have not set the plans 100% in stone. :D I am open to suggestions for DIY panels to keep costs to a minimum. Thanks for the reply.

    Differences in fiberglass insulation

    I am going to build some treatments inspired by Jon Risch. They are going to consist of 4ft x 2ft x 2" wooden frames filled with kraft faced insulation. This will then be wrapped in polyester batting and then finally burlap. My question is, what are the differences in sound absorption...

    Cable distribution

    That sounds like a plan. Source will go to a splitter. One for the cable modem, and one for the amplified RF unit. I appreciate the insight.

    Cable distribution

    Most outlets in the house utilize analog cable. In the theater, I have an HD set top box. Edit: I think I now realized what you were getting at with the digital question. I am not running a digital STB and splitting it out for all of the locations in my house. The one HD box I have is only...

    Cable distribution

    I'm wondering what the best, reasonably priced, way to split out a source cable signal to standard cable boxes to use with cable modem, without dramatic loss of signal. My dedicated theater is almost complete, and I am running through a cheap radio shack splitter. I need to split out to...

    Remote for new dedicated theater room.

    Hello all. I am just finishing up the finishing touches on a dedicated theater room that I have spent about a year building. I currently have a Logitech 659 but I really would like RF capabilities. In the $400 price range, what would you suggest that is: 1. RF 2. Computer programmable...
