- I finally found the perfect place to build the ultimate car guy compound. Tons of car parts, tools, and a motorcycle were left behind. So today we're going to sort through everything, throw a ton of stuff away, and start cleaning things up. A new house, a new shop, and a place to build cars better than ever before... but the house has some strange secrets of it's own.

You have all that room in the basement for the ultimate game room for those consoles.
Suddenly my house seems so antiquated. I might as well have gas lights and an ice box. Nice work sir!
Seeing that brick wall stay for so long had me in fear that it was going to remain! I heard the floor sigh with relief when it was removed. Everything is looking great!
When you said that ceiling speaker was complex, I wasn't expecting THAT complex! Cool as shit for sure!
The amount of knowledge in your head John Ross is impressive
My favorite part of the video was gabe trying to get his watch to show the time... priceless.
Two Stories for you:
1). Since you like Kohler, years ago I special ordered Polished Brass Toilet Flush Handles, for the Kohler Toilets that I bought at Lowe's. My bathrooms have polished brass fixtures.
2). The TV Show, Hot Rod Garage, has a white Ford F100 Truck Body that they placed on a Police Crown Vic Cruiser Undercarriage.
That truck was badass.
Forgot an edit at 11:30 😂😂😂
Thought you were just having a bit of a moment there lol
You should have just blamed the echo, or claim you were just copying Tyler's videos during his divorce! 😅
The secret is finally out - JR *does* make mistakes!!! 😂
did you ever have a dream that you could, that, that you, that you could.......
It would be great if you added bloopers at the end! It's funny, AND you get extra time added to the video. As you probably know, @LegitStreetCars started doing that and it's some of the funniest stuff in his videos.
Two alternatives to the regular carpet, one is doing a Cork Floor. It deadens very well and stops the sound of footsteps really well. But, if you have a cat or dog though, it will get damaged easily. The other option that works well is Flor Carpet tiles. If a part gets stained or messed up, the pat can be replaced, plus they look really good.
Just in time so I can download this and watch it at work. Always great videos!
I love those Atmos speakers. I considered something similar for my living room on our new build, but my research showed that with a 20' ceilings they don't work as well and just sounds like audio from above with no real directionality, so I just went with a traditional 7.1 setup (Arendal 1723 towers, center, surround and a 2000W Monolith 13" sub). When I finish my basement, I will absolutely go with ceiling speakers like those Focals.
Atmos is a scam.
I listened to it once and it changed my ears forever. I can't even listen to the radio on my JBL pocket speaker anymore @@headcas620
came here to get mind of what happened to me today. I officially got laid off from work ( at least I got a decent redundancy package ) and im OK with it for now. I re did my cv yesterday and I left work early today ( getting paid till end of week anyway ) to print out the CV and walk into work places asking if any vacancies are available. 30 dropped off today and hoping to have something soon. I heard back from someone I applied to yesterday and it sounds promising so far. I have a interview on Monday with them, and it will be a good place if I get the position.
Change can be good. I got laid off from a job awhile back. Took a crappier job to make money while I searched for something else. I actually met my wife there, and we've been married two years. Change sucks, but it can push us into a path we never expect. I'm glad I got laid off.
@@BiologicalEngineer I’m not upset about it. I am still coming to terms with it, I was there for a few years and everyone I worked with I was close with. They were close to family to me (cliche I know but everyone I worked with was wonderful which is rare) I am confident of finding work soon and with the amount I received I have a small buffer I would like to keep as much as I can lol. I’m glad you found happiness from your move and I hope that can happen for myself as well
@@Vikturus22 There's a plaque that I made and gifted to a rather young nephew with their parent's permission. It read:
Much of what you think and say
Will probably come true someday
So think good thoughts and say them proud
And life will shout them back out loud.
My thinking is if he grows up looking at that in his room he will have a better shot at becoming an awesome human being.
He just might not be great at grammer🤣
So stay positive and you will probably end up at a place in life that's better than you imagined before you lost that job.
All the best to you.
@@InsideOfMyOwnMind Thanks for the response! thats a great plaque to make
Same happened to me during the 2020-21 absurdities. Soon got a job about 8 months later, albeit a bit of a commute, but I've since got a better paid job in walking distance from my home!
I live in rural Georgia on a dirt road and have had fiber internet for over a year it’s great.
The brick delete was worth the effort.
Don't understand why it was removed first thing if it's unneeded instead of looking like crap.
@@reggeckmann3993 because my drywall guy was super upset about the possibility of falling down the stairs
@@WatchJRGo egh🤕
Wow JR . Amazing work my friend I have never met.
I’m a fan of 70’s and 80’s wires visible big speaker systems as a kid hooking up different components and speakers making your own surround sound not computer controlled
You do realize @2:43 the screws are not all aligned in your switches... 🤣
@@FatKidontwowheels they get finished with screwless switch covers lol
The dream is coming true. Party on Wayne, Party on Grath, Party on John, Party on Gabe.
You should use KEF speakers 🔊 for surround and audio distribution. Those speakers uses minimum 160 dispersion that way it points everywhere. Just a suggestion and I think you theater will be just as. Easy right now
Most smart TVs use 100 Mbps RJ45 ports, so WiFi is usually faster, but some will work with RJ45 to USB. USB 2 will get you to around 300 Mbps. Also, directional HDMI cables usually have built in amplifiers which can amplify and equalize the differential signal that gets transmitted, to allow for longer runs w/o using lower gauge (thicker) wires, to avoid the signal drop. Made that mistake installing an 86" and the cable was backwards, didn't realize it was directional.
My living room is painted flat black because I have a projector in it, best decision I've made in that room. People always say I'm insane when I tell them but then they also say it's way better in person than they expected. Natural light is not enough to use it as a living room but that's why lights exist. Not needed with a TV but it adds so much to the theater feel I think it's worth trying.
Some HDMI cables ARE directional. Usually the super slim or super long active cables.
The ceiling speaker installation is much cleaner than I imagined.
Th n xtcepisode shpuld be titled “ Watch Jr Floor” . Amazing progress !
Add a curtain mounted on a sliding rail on the back wall that you can unfurl when the sound system is on that will help reduce echo.
If the carped doesn't dull the echo, I'm sure JR has plans on other methods to get there. He seems to understand sound engineering (and a whole lot more) pretty well.
Large areas rugs in living room over whatever flooring you do. Easier to replace area rugs then later try to match flooring if you install wall to wall carpet that’ll get dirty etc. and you want to match other flooring at a later time.
Thank God for Gabe’s comedic genius.
$10,000 home theater and no sub? That's crazy!
Well I have a Denon 4700 with a mere 5.1 channels for now and a Sony 75 Z9K 8k TV but it's not exactly a dedicated theater, just in the living room with all the players and toys. It looks and sounds good enough for me and I built my main speakers years ago and still like and use them. Nothing built into the walls or anything but you have a lot more wall space and everything is easier to get to for you, enjoy the setup.
Yeah my old setup is a Denon 3313CI... Loved it but after 10 years it started getting cold solder joints on the output channels so I had to buy a new one 😥
Denon avr 4700 is a beast.
I had a Sony D2070 when 5.1 first got big. All digital internally, the amps sounded excellent, and it had a display that could show the audio out 20 to 20 like a scope. I eventually upgraded to a Onkyo 777 and I have been upgrading to new and used as deals came up since. The latest have all been Denon about the same time frame as your last one. The 4700 was a refurb with a full warranty for a smoking deal so here I am. I have a Sony HD Radio I still use with it and FM stations here still broadcast it, sounds nice, no static.
@@Cartier_specialist I agree, especially for the money. I didn't want to spend the money it would take to get the 6700 or one of the other beasts they had but I got this one for 1100 shipped so jumped on it and I do have extra amps if I wanted to add the channels it doesn't include amps for. I know one of the retired AVR is a 3808 and I had the 4310 too plus the last Onkyo 898. Both the Denons have issues but work, the Onkyo was fine, just wanted more newer goodies support. They are all available cheap or free at this point in Portland OR.
@@69DartmanWell I believe the 4700 model is one of the few flagship AVRs made in Japan by the people that know a little something about quality electronics.
J.R. you are a machine.....awesome work so far.
To further muddy the waters, there's a mom and pop high-end audio/video store in my town and they said it's pronounced something like "Fosuhl" or "Foshahl" - where the C is more like an S because it's French, I think it's a silly debate that will rage on for years. 😅
I don't know if you mentioned the model number of those speakers, but I believe it's the 100 ICLCR5 for those that want to look into them. $579/ea on Amazon right now 🤯
Monoprice Makes some absolutely OUTSTANDING in-Wall/ceiling Speakers I have used them for years my 7.1.2 will have angled rears in the ceiling, angled Center ceiling chanel, 2 basic kevlar atmos channels and a set of free standing floor speakers for the front, with a Monolith 10 inch sub..
I work for Richer Sounds in the UK and have sold Focal speakers. I sold a pair of their monster size floor standers a couple of months back and the customer in question came by the store a couple of days a go to say how pleased he was with them. Those ceiling speakers look fantastic, if you're gonna do it, do it right!
I sell "Trust" speakers for a company called Poorer Sounds.
18:54 I feel your pain Gabe. Why can’t the iPhone just RELAX about the Lock Screen and just show the damn time. So annoying.
Right?!?!🍺🤣👍🏼
I need to get these recessed lights in my bedroom, because with the pendant light and all the obese women I sleep with, I keep burning my ass on the light bulb! 😂
That's one hell of s setup!
You need a Throw-Back Game Room Downstairs...
I looked at some Focal speakers for my car. I bought an entire system with Alpine and Kicker for about the same money 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Starlink on a UPS. You can mesh to the shop. That's my setup.
Was hoping to see the actual Focal speakers but didn’t get to. Did even get to see what he was talking about with the ceiling cutouts. Have Focal 3-way components in my truck with 2 JL W6 subs. I have Klipsch in my house and I’d have to say I honestly love the sound from both Focal and Klipsch.
So the Hugh Heffner house is cream white on the inside. Party on John
Keep those episodes coming! You're the best!
You are surely an inspiration to those who are into the tech home of tomorrow today.
I don’t know if I missed it but being a lifelong resident of Florida, I cringe at the potential disaster you might have if you take a lightning strike. What protection have you employed to guard against damage to your equipment and wiring?
It's not even my house and I'm excited! The lighting in your bedroom-If you live like most of us you will probably use the custom over the bed box lighting and the closet chandelier. You will turn on the ceiling lights only when you are looking for something you dropped on the floor, so don't worry about them being too daylightish. :-) I love you attention to detail and that you have made access easy as possible for future repairs. I hate that homes are designed as if nothing will ever break and you will have to destroy walls, tiles (good luck finding a match), flooring, etc. just to do a needed repair.
Everyone should get a chance to do this once!!!!
That bedroom ceiling is very nice! Can the light be red?
Wish I could come over and hear it. Most off the hook sound system I ever seen. When I was a kid you was the shit with a component sound system. Buddy of mine got me into it. We put a couple together. Epic whole house system dude. You are a master.
long "active" HDMI cables ARE directional
But, also don't use "active" HDMI cables, use something like HDbaseT for long distance HDMI
You ought to install those adaptive backlights for the tv that react to the image on screen.. I put some on my home theater setup and they make a huge difference
I was worried having the TV backlight constantly changing color would detract from what I was watching on the screen. Not so?
I am so waiting for the day that your videos in the house don't sound like the audio was recorded in an echo chamber!!!
The carpet is on the way, I also can't wait!!! 💯
No carpet. No furniture. No wall coverings. Echo? No shit. Jeez some commenters are stupid.
@@stoveguy2133your comment is so ironic. It was mentioned in the videos that he’s adding all that stuff to muffle the echo, this guy commented that he can’t wait for that day, understand now?
Take the grills over to Lowe's and have them paint match the grill to ceiling paint. Paint the ceiling the same color as the grills. In an entertainment room a little darker ceiling wont be a bad thing.
Me and my wife must be oddballs then. We love daylight light bulbs. Spent a grand replacing every single light bulb in the house when we bought it a few years ago.
Have you heard of an area rug?
Faux Cal Very fine speaker. Focal floor standers are enjoyable .
Great series I think i should do some updates to my Rancher style house I haven't done a thing in 25 years Bachelor life Lol
JR, i love all the home automation, but what i haven't really seen you cover is voice control like Siri, Alexa, google.... do you have that planned or do you not do the voice stuff?
getting real close now very welll done so far awesome job
I'm French, you well said Focal 😊
It might be time for a name change to ListentoJRTalk
What on earth was the make of that stud finder? Remember that from a past video but could never find it again!
Busiest man on the internet, I’m tired just watching
Good Evening John Ross
Hey Douglas! 🍻
Cool... It's too bad you can't paint the speaker covers to match the ceiling paint. I actually like the looks
of the speakers without the covers better.
The strip lights worked out really good. Nice touch
We’re getting there
I've learned a lot during your house build, looking forward to more videos! Do you get support from any of the product vendors you feature in your build? Sure is a lot of free advertising for them if not!
having the rears up in the ceiling is going to sound weird for rear speakers. Rears are supposed to be at ear hight. Rear Atmos would be in the ceiling.
In Wall speakers are amazing
11:55 is phase cancellation the phrase you were searching for?
Phrase cancellation.
Phrasing!
Hey! Looking good!
Can you paint the grills to match ceiling?
JR, are those scene-control panels Crestron? They look like Crestron panels I've worked with.
I got a 98 inch TCL smart TV for $1999 from Best Buy and will start the man cave.
2x5.25inch drivers does not equate to the same cone area of a 10inch driver. Its lesser.
What brand of switches are you using / recommending?
I always thought you were a busy 24/7 guy but obviously your a TV guy . You must only work long enough to make a video than run inside to watch TV. 😂
How many watts is the amp? Total of speakers? Great work John Ross.
Wny isnt the stereo hidden in the basement? Seems like it would be cleaner that way.
Closet should be adjustable to 5000k, especially if there will be a mirror in there so clothes can be seen in different temperature light.
That ceiling fan is going to be low over your bed no standing up on the bed or you might catch a fan blade
Hey
Yo George! 🍻
2700k is away the move in houses. 4000 and up is for commercial.
Meanwhile, the rest of us just watch YT on big phones
tell gabe theres a setting to auto unlock the apple watch using BLE in the settings app on the iphone. if it detects you're not wearing it, passcode will be required.
edit; I think it relies on face id to work
1 home theater pc with the budget from the consoles, emulate the rest
"Where oh where can I set up my gaming console collection!? There's no room for it in my living room!" I don't know... I mean, you're a single guy with no kids. Maybe turn one of those seven spare rooms you have into an office/gaming room with PC and console goodness? Or you could just sell them. 🤦♀ 🤦♀
You Can play a local FM station cant you?
Really echoey in there. Sounds like a restroom in a public high school.
It would be as crazy as pronouncing SAWZALL, "saw saw"
You can put all consoles in one long cabinet under the TV. You never know when you will need them
I don’t think you’ll regret 4000k light
Let us know how many times you end up having to replace those LED strips.
You need a longer selfie stick - whenever you're "showing us the ceiling" or "showing us the lights" it's just your face and you can't get what you want to show in the shot.
Yo
🥈 yo yo!
I hate it when ceilings aren't white. Walls shouldn't be white, but ceilings should always be white.
3000K is also the warm white temp I like the most. But I use 4500 in bathrooms and closets so I see slightly truer colors when I'm getting ready. With warm white in bathrooms and closets I've left only to find I look like I'm dressed like a clown out in sunlight.
I'm not sure how us normal folk or living with just a boring light switch !!
10:56 For the record, regarding your 5 inch or 8 inch speakers, the 8 inch has much more surface area than (2) 5's. The 8 inch has 50.27 in² and each 5 inch has 19.63 in² for a total of 39.26 in². Math!
But 2 fives will be louder since there's 2 drivers. Numbers always beats bigger.
@@thecman26 Your argument is absurd. That's like saying 2 stock BMW M2's have more HP than a Chiron. Also, keep in mind, I was addressing "surface area" and what JohnRoss actually said. 🤫
@@BBPissed 3db boost when you double the drivers... Why? Science...
@@thecman26 Prove it with numbers, Einstein. I did.
All the tech and connectivity is cool, but I fear for the poor bastard that has to try and troubleshoot something in this house that isn't working in a few years. Possibly with equipment/controls from companies that no longer support it.
Needs more crab rave
Wow! You've probably spent more than double what you paid for the house in IMPROVEMENTS?
Does you youtube music not give you the option to cast to a chromecast?
