- Home Theater Room Riser Buildout
I've had a lot of requests to make a video of a walk-through of the new system installed and setup, here is that video: • Home Theater Room Walk...
The room is 29 ft long by 12.5 ft wide. The platform measured 12 ft long and was built wall to wall. We took out a door that went to the utility room which can be accessed by another door.
The Platform took 35-40 hrs to build. Below are the costs:
Labor Time: $2400
Materials: $2500
Projector: $1500
4k Projector Screen: $500
Powered Chairs from Sams Club: $2000
Mini Fridge: $279
The Projector is a BenQ HT3550 4K HDR10. The 150" screen is from Elite Screens on Amazon, it's a Sable II Frame that measures 11.5' wide by 6.5' high.

I put sound proof insulation into the platform with two vents on the second level front and two on the back to help pass sound and resolve any vibrations. The ply wood is 1.5" thick to help deaden sound. I hired an electrician to come in and make sure it was wired correctly and to get all the plugs in. I have 4 plugs that have USB charging ports on them.
The sound system is a 7.2 ch Sony Atmos 8 Speaker system. I am installing butt kickers into the chairs next week.
I spent overall around $8-10k on the room doing it myself.. I know many people that spend upwards of 100k doing a theater room, having family help really saved on the cost and doing much of the work myself.
If you have any questions.. feel free to post below!

Check out my amazing videos for Home Theater Platform Buildout: • Home Theater Room
The music is: Two Steps from Hell - Top 24 Soundtracks
Everyone has been asking for a walkthrough to see the room after it was finished with the sound system installed and the carpeting down. Here is that video: ruclips.net/video/K_ycUDbC86w/видео.html
What size is that room?
What’s the measurements of the room pls
Great video thanks.
Michael Bowes hey mike is top and bottom 6ft deep I know total is 12 ft deep? Also did you do 6ft deep to accommodate the chair fully reclined ?
Forget the walk through... I want to come watch a movie in that room! Great music, great video, great work on the room!
Finally I was looking for someone who built a platform. Good job!
@justine thanks!! When I created this I planned it for six months and no one else had a time lapse or full recording showing what they did, step by step.
McLovin has changed alot!! 😜, Great video 😃
RUclips needs expose dislikers because this was freaking amazing. Loved it.
those dislikes are RUclipsr who has the same channel 😂😂😂
I watched your walkthrough video as well. Thank you for your very detailed explanation of your thought process, as well as cost information. This was very helpful.
Your cousins are so amazing. This video is so informative, that its hard to explain. Thank you very much for producing this. Its timeless to watch professionals work, coz there so much wisdom in it.
You are most welcome!! No one else had a video like this when I needed it. 😁
hahaha at first I thought what the hell is McLovin doing here :D sick theater
Lol even I just felt that
@@obivanJR lol I am mclovin
Lmfaooo
Thought the same thing 😂😂
One of the Best Ideas of SoundProofing is "SoundProof Curtains" it actually Block outside Noise coming from Windows. Check Here: livesoundproof.com/best-soundproof-curtains/
Thank you so much for having a start to finish and advice and pricing on stuff.,I was hoping to find a video such as this .. thanks so so much. Enjoy your media room and have a great day
Hey buddy I truly appreciate this video because I’m trying to figure out how to build my home theater in my guest room. I was wondering about building a riser for my theatre seating and this helped. Sorry about all the messed up comments from others but I love it!
@christian if you want to chat on Skype, send me a message and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Great video, very informative from the cost to actual size of your theatre. Thank you
Thats a stunning building layout my friend, enjoyed every minute watching you and your team building it. But now we want to see you final setup with the speakers and everything ;) you got my sub my friend.
Good job. All the comments are interesting too. Good advice to help whoever else might try to tackle how tedious this job is. The only comment I have other than congratulations is your projector was exposed to a lot of insulation, dust and saw dust leaving it hung during construction.
Incredible!!! Just got those same seats from Sam's Club!!
ABSOLUTELY Great Team work & It looks amazing
This was truly an inspiring journey to watch. It looks fantastic. They did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing. Congrats!
Love the video. Love the music. Looks fantastic. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Funny how about 25 years ago 'Home Theater' meant a 32" TV and surround sound speakers!
So true!! LOL But back then.. that was the best of the best!
I was thinking the same, I was not expecting this. I really can't see how you could justify that much work for watching films, I mean, who watches enough films and television to make this cost effective? It seems to be a huge undertaking for something that would be used a few times a year.
@@mikeblake1000 I am sure this guy watches at least one movie a week, so that's easily over 50 per year...
mikeblake1000 I’m sure you’re in the minority. I watch a movie almost everyday.
awe now... I remember some neighbors when I was young who had 3 lens projection TVs they where amazing at the time. :)
Great room! I'd love a home theater someday!
You should have put carpet because it makes it feel more cozy
Great Job! What kept me watching the video was the music. You guys did a really nice job with the room
Thanks Jake!! I love that music! 😁
Thanks on the room.. For it carpeted today.. really looks nice now
@@MichaelBowes The music to this video is beautiful. What are the names of the songs?
@@henrycarter7603 It's from the group: Two Steps from Hell and this is the top 25 tracks. This is the URL: ruclips.net/video/9O4_awEHh1g/видео.html
I was reading the comments and wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about your heart condition. I will pray for you. Fist rule of construction is NEVER 25:00 + use final floor for a work table! I hope it's not all scratched up . I hope you enjoy your room thanks for the video
Thanks.. it's vinyl and anti scratch. 😁😁
The best thing is it’s a family work very wonderful
Quedo hermoso amigo, debe verse y escucharse como los dioses, una sana envidia desde Chile, saludos
very nice Job Mc'lovin
I work at sams and those theater seat have me wanting a theatre
Looks great can't wait to see more of this theater in operation
Thank you!
I enjoyed your video.Thank you
plywood is run the wrong way. Never run it with the floor joists, it will bow between them. Even though it is oriental strand board the wood chips are placed a certain way. should be using 3/4" T&G. great theater room
Wish I had the motivation your cousins did to work on a home improvement project. My basements stairs are so bad not even the mice use them to go up.
Great looking space. Surprised you opted for a reflective floor rather than carpet for sound absorption.
I placed vinyl on the 2" thick plywood which contains soundproof installation. I also put two vents at the front and two on the back to absorb sound. From all my tests.. there is no vibration or reflective sounds coming from the platform.
Michael Bowes can’t wait to see the final finishes 👍👍
Wow man that’s awesome. I wish I had a room in my house big enough to do this. 😂😂😂
Awesome job but I have one question did you ever consider putting the subwoofers underneath the platform? It would give it a little more explosions I was going to do that to my theater but I have tenants probably would drive them
Bravo!!! Bravo!!! Thoughly enjoyed. Great job!!!
Little did he know that this was the perfect time to build this before the corona shit show..😂
Classic video bro!!!!!!!
Just wondering why you raised the first row of seats? If they had been left on the floor - less work and then the second row would not have had to be raised so high. Or was it to put insulation under the front row as well?. Just asking as I am hoping to start a similar project this year. Thank you.
How much do you think thaht the isolation under the platform helps?
Very nice set up. The only thing I would have added would have been a nice floor mounted base shakers for each row of chairs.
I'm installing 3 buttkickers into the front row next week. =)
What grey shade color did you specifically used for your home theater? It looks good.
Right at the beginning, i have to say that it was really good choice to choose Two Steps From Hell as music..and i have only watched first 4,5min... ;D
Lol!! I love that music! Works great for the time lapse! 😁
@@MichaelBowes I love it too..😆
Awesome family work bro 👏👏👏👌
Just curious why you went with wood vs. carpet for flooring?
I thought it looked really nice.. it's actually vinyl flooring. The platform is 2" plywood with sound proof insulation. I don't think there will be any vibrations, ect. I was going to do laminate or real wood flooring, but I thought that might be too noisy and a laminate floor has to float, so it would have needed sides which could have been a trip hazard.
The vinyl makes it look really good. I could have carpeted.. but again. It just felt more pro doing it this way
Michael Bowes nice! Great job on the room!
@@thunderman21 Thanks!
What do you put on the hard board before you put the vinyl in? It looks like paint, but I guess that isn't it
J Rivera There’s a reason why you won’t find a cinema with hard floors despite them being easier to clean.
Nice! Two things, though. I found myself skipping ahead to watch it in 3 minutes. HAHAHA. Also, why such a great room, projector, and screen --- and you ended up with $2000 of Sony speakers? Come on, man! Rob a bank and complete that room with "at least" some B&Ws. (We are getting ready to close on a house that's going to give me a lot more theatre space and I'll be upgrading away from my B&W 5.1 system. Can't wait. Dual Klipsch SPL-150SWs here I come!!!)
Go with svs PB-3000's. Watch Youthman RUclips channel. He does a comparison. Very informative
Nice job man now all you need is some bass shakers!!!
Congrats man. It turned out really nice 👍🏾😊
Thanks! =)
So, according to the thumbnail, you replaced your screen with 3 doors. How's the PQ on those?
Awesome job man. Looks great !
Curious how you like the recliners now 2.5 years post-video? I'm considering buying the same (I believe they are the Larson Leather Power Reclining Home Theater, correct?). Would you recommend?
you kind of look like fogel, and that's awesome dude!
Lololol!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I've heard that for years and I still refuse to watch the movie. I think he's my doppelganger..
good movie. also, nice build you did. enjoy the results dude!
McLovin! Great job
What was the point in stacking that much sound proofing under the stage ? Seems like over kill
Do u think a 150 inch screen will work in a room 12ft wide and 22ft long?
Thank you for the work documenting your platform construction. I learned something for my platform project.
You are most welcome! I didn't really see anyone on here that had a full time lapse showing everything that was done in the buildout and I really just wanted to give everyone a view of what I did and how I did it step by step.
I see you have a fixed screen I would run a 4k laser ultra short throw projector due to your entrance being behind your seating.. awesome room
They suck
The chairs should've been the absolute last thing to put in the room!
Why? In the process of planning for my space.
Is there a reason you put sound deadening in the floor?
Hey Mark, Yes; I wanted to make sure that I cut down on any sound vibrations from the speakers and eventually when I install the Buttkickers in the chairs. I did a ton of research on this prior to building and everyone that I came across that built something like this.. they put in the insulation and vents to help carry the sound and any vibrations.
That answers my question...looks like a lot of excess materials used though.. Why not float and isolated the riser..one thing layer of sound deadening material under finished floor. .looks awesome though. Hope you enjoy it for many many years.
Went straight to the comments looking for a mclovin comment, time to watch the video
Lolol!! 😂😂😂
I still haven't seen that movie!
Very Very affordable what is the name of the builders and do they have a website or social media
This reminds me of Sims city
Waite a minute here look at all those 2x4's no no. Why did you do it like that. The front part was right you you should of made it longer so you could use it to build a 2x12 platform on top in the back. So you did not have to use so much wood. But none the less it looks awesome.
Nice room!!!
Thanks Ace!
How wide and deep is the room? Thank you
Probably should have used carpet on the riser for sound purposes. Otherwise nice job
This works very well the way I have it.. no sound issues.
What colour is used on the walls
Hard job but great looking 👌😉
Tanks you
I wish we could have gotten more angles of the framing construction.
Interior crocodile alligator, I drive a Chevrolet movie theater!
Hi, Please could you tell me how wide your room is? Thankyou. Great video by the way.
12ft. Dimensions are in the description
what do u do for a living and how do i do it lol
How does the floor insulation help? Does it help cut floor sounds more than a carpet?
The insulation helps stop vibrations, being that it is sound proof I found that it helps with sounds a lot better and then providing the vents helps the sound and pressure flow through the platform.
you really need to change your RUclips name to Mclovin you would triple your views! This is no means to sound offensive its a compliment :)
Video should be titled: Lazy Pharaoh orders slaves to construct pyramid/theater room
We need a list of this sound track.
Try to look for your completed theater room but don't see anything. So is this all the video you've made so far?
Go to the end.. this was of the platform being built out. I'll make a new video soon on the completed room.
How big was the room you used. I like your build and considering this kind of layout for the platform.
Room size is 29 ft long by 12 ft wide
any idea what paint color that is?
Looks amazing but when you said your cousins came to help you actually meant your cousins was going to do all the work lol.
Yes. But I paid them for the endeavor. I have a severe heart condition.. so I can only do so much physical labor..
@@MichaelBowes Oh ok you are forgiven lol. Tell them great job.
@@MichaelBowes sorry to hear that man
Nice work, looks great! I plan on doing something similar for my home theater. How wide are those steps? I'm trying to squeeze 4 seats in between my steps like you did with your first row but that would mean they would only be 18" wide on both sides. Not sure if that's doable or just sacrafice the 4th seat for wider steps... Let me know what you think.
What brand of soundproof insulation did you use, and what was that approximate cost? I have a virtually identical room and would love this exact setup. Probably going to have an issue in building the riser though as I am not handy at all.
Good job but should have removed the projector from the room before working with wood, lots of trouble with dust in lenses could be avoided !
Awesome video my friend, especially the music.
The music sounded like a Soundtrack from the Games Of Throne.
The Finish Product Was Breathtaking At Best.
did you help them build it? How hard of a job do you think it was? like on a scale of 1-10? thanks so much!!
I didn't help them build it.. I helped with the design. For an experienced builder, it wouldn't be hard to build at all.. for a newbie.. I'd put it at about a 6.
Is that the cbs’ cold case song?
What an inspiring video! Immensely enjoyed this dude. Love from London Town.
DEAR GOD they took forever. Half the people In the video look like they were on break three quarters of the time. It's just a platform not the World trade center for Pete's sake
What color is your walls about to paint my room soon
Where did you get the recessed LED lights for the step up on the riser. looks great!
why does he look like the guy from Superbad? 😀
I am... McLovin!! 😂😂
Cos he is!
I'm the real McLovin guys
Lol. I thought the same thing
It looks nice. The seat backs are high which will block sound for the rear speakers. Are the seats on the 1/3 lines of the room?
Your room size pls
This is what I really wanted to build for my home theater.
Sadly my wallet didn't approve it
Nice seats!
Thanks!!
I really wanna make a theater room and I already have a good tv and speakers but I only have 2000 dollars so I probably can’t
get a theater room
Keep your eyes peeled for deals. I purchased my laminate flooring on sale from $2.99 psf down to .99 cents psf. My power recliner I only purchased one because I was keeping the old sectional was on clearance at Costco from $935 down to $175.
Sir what will be the size of the room??
The room is 29 ft by 15 ft.
Why insulation under the stage platform? 😳🤷♂️
Room size pls?
The fact that y'all used a nest camera😂
Didn't have a go pro at the time.. this was the best I could do. I wasn't expecting to record it until the last minute. It worked. 😁
Nice
What your size
