i posted this in another thread but thought i'd share it here. hoping to get some suggestions or inspire others to renovate their own room/basement.
here are some pix of my design and renovation work. still in the process of painting and putting up the center 8x8 drop ceiling, then adding optic fiber for a star ceiling.
3d design of the room. originally going with 7.1 but decided to go with 5.1 and added 2 ceiling speakers behind the theater seats.


plans for drywall ceiling studs

early plans for 3 lcd's

decided to do one 100" projector screen

putting up drywall ceilings and wiring. projector mount and 2 hdmi cables from 12' center of room to opposite wall for 100" screen.



made a closet for av components with built-in shelves, access from back thru lower level


a lot of planning and work. still in progress, just finished sanding the ceiling and put a coat of paint. finishing with another coat tonight and adding crown molding trims around. star ceiling is next and new carpet tiles to complete.
