Nice project! I would have used the big shelves to store the movie collection though, that will be convenient when you have to insert media on the equipment shelves
A lotta work went into this. You used double stud walls, then anchored directly to the floor joists above. This short circuits the isolation of the stud walls and transfers vibrations directly to the floor above. The worst, hopefully your homeowner's insurance has a generous mold remediation policy. You created a double vapor retarder against your exterior foundation walls. It is a bad idea to place a vapor retarder on sub grade walls, and in many places, it is against building codes. Then ya went and used faced fiberglass batts. creating a double vapor retarder to trap the moisture that will eventually diffuse in from the soil. Forensically, I have seen this accidentally done by homeowners more than once. Fiberglass is visibly saturated, and the clue something was wrong was liquid water coming out of the base of the wall onto the floor...not a leak.
My inspector instructed me to score all of the vapor barrier surrounding the insulation so that condensation wouldn't be able to build up as you described. Also, while I did connect the walls to the floor joists above, I made sure there was no wood on wood contact. It is only connected with the screws, which, that will still transfer some vibrations, I felt it would minimize it quite a bit. Also, every point in the theater room in which a hard surface was made to be in contact with another hard surface, I put construction adhesive in between to help absorb some of the vibrations. Clearly you have a lot of experience in this regard, much more than me, and I appreciate the feedback but hopefully my explanation helps you see what I at least was trying to do to avoid some of the issues you are describing.
Soon as I spotted the stud to joist connection I shook my head. I made that exact mistake in my first theater. All the bass went right up into the bedroom above. Second theater…room in a room, with completely separate ceiling structure connected to the theater walls…works phenomenally. Good luck
That's intentional because I have a subwoofer underneath the platform, I wanted it to cause vibrations under the seats to add to the immersive experience.
I've contemplated doing a separate video for going over the equipment but as a quick answer to your question, I used a Pioneer 7.2.2/9.2 receiver, Klipsch speakers, and a JVC projector (RS-1000).
It starts at the ceiling, yes. The one I bought is no longer available where I bought it but maybe elsewhere: www.bestbuy.com/site/elite-screens-manual-series-142-projector-screen-black/6070105.p?skuId=6070105
Nice, thanks for sharing. I was interested in your plan for the sloped ceiling, but I don't think it's quite as obvious on the video how it looks. Do you have 3 flat sections, with the lowest over the rear seats? And then do you have a sloping section that runs next to those, from the back of the room to the front? And yes, all info on your gear (projector, amp, speakers, screen, choice of seats) is good to share :)
Each section over each row of seats is angled down about 5 degrees towards the front so as to make it appear that the ceiling is lowest over the front row, following the grade of the platform from highest to lowest, when in actuality, the ceiling is at the same height above all 3 rows of seats. I think I will do a separate video going over my equipment since that has been suggested.
@@Triggaaar I think it worked out great! I had my neighbor come by and one of the first things he asked was "is the ceiling lower towards the front" to which the answer of course is no, but it is designed to look that way. So I'd say it worked out great!
Like what? I worked briefly with a sound engineer to help with reducing sound bleed in other parts of the house but I'm not sure what else you may be referring to, I'm not super familiar with what that entails.
@@LTI I was referring to acoustic treatments to treat the quality of the acoustics within the room rather than noise bleed, for example installing absorbers & diffusers to help with reflections etc in the appropriate amounts & areas can make a world of difference to your audio. Although it's easiest to add them during the construction stage it can also be done afterwards, it just usually requires more work & compromise.
@@northeastcorals Not a lot beyond having curtains around the entire room to prevent some echoing of the sound. Not sure what else there is, not my forte for sure.
@@LTI Fair enough, there are some great videos here on RUclips you can watch for free if you were interested just search for Anthony Grimani who is a bit of a guru on the subject. Hes done some brilliant content with Audioholics & others. Most agree treating the room is a game changer & an OK sound system in a treated room can sound better that mega expensive syatem in an untreated room.

@@percybedford6266 I am unsure about financing, it was the first time I made a purchase from Alibaba. The turnaround time for me was a bit longer than normal since I ordered just before Chinese new year which delayed it a bit. I think it is usually 2-3 months out depending on the quantity.

@@roberthoppie9488 Sorry for the late reply here, this fell through the cracks. The dark black is called "Limousine Leather" and the light, greyish one is "Cracked Pepper".
@@BIGBASSSAMA_4 The insulation plus the sound board underneath the drywall does a pretty good job at minimizing the sound bleed-through. You can still hear it upstairs but it's pretty subtle despite the sound system being turned up quite loud. When I step outside my house though, I don't hear a thing, completely quiet so my neighbors will never hear me blasting my movies. I think some of the sound I hear upstairs may come from the back wall since only the side within the theater room has drywall, I'm thinking it will help dampen the sound more when I finish drywalling the other side.
@@LTI So you mean 1st layer is plain drywall or regular wood to hold the insulation then 2nd layer is the insulation then the 3rd layer is the soundboard then u mean the 4 layer over that is drywall again?
Great job you must be really pleased at the finished outcome well done I'm very jealous
Believe me, the movie experience in his place is top notch!
Guess you would know ;) Gotta plan another movie night
One nice feature of your theater is the two center seats do not share an armrest. That is a perfect compromise vs every seat having a separate armrest
You did that by yourself 🎉 wow nice job !!
Awesome build bro! Congrats :)
Looks professional and done right
Amazing!! One of your best accomplishments!!

Ahhhhhh!! you didn't fill the platform with insulation to prevent any reverb, or echo, from the subwoofer frequencies.
That's intentional because I have a subwoofer underneath the platform, I wanted it to cause vibrations under the seats to add to the immersive experience.
YOU, are amazing!
