[QUOTE="theCybe, post: 5172105, member: 558105"] Hey, Soob. Fortunately the budget isn't really a set amount; The idea is just to stick with 'bang for your buck' type equipment and treatments. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] This disqualifies LabGruppen completely. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Concealing equipment probably isn't going to be of major concern this first time around - the walls are all block except for the screen-wall, so that really limits my ability to build in. The walls will be framed up for version 2 - and I'd like to move the screen wall back another 9 feet or so to allow for some novelty/bar room in the back. For now, this will get us through the winter. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] I rolled the carpet out to let it loosen up: [IMG]http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/4995/img2891bc4.jpg[/IMG] The acoustics in the room improved /dramatically/ with the addition of the carpet. I'm stunned by it, really; I didn't take any measurements but decay/reverb/echoes are all diminished greatly. I lucked out. The room rang like a bell with just the pad in. Installing carpet, and steps leading to theater: [IMG]http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3343/img2901kd3.jpg[/IMG] I also picked up some RXL-40, mineral wool from Roxul. It's 2" thick, 4 pounds per cubic foot. Pretty nasty ****, but it's doing a great job. Just under five bucks a sheet. [IMG]http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/1461/img2930zi1.jpg[/IMG] Put Musashi outside to do some calibration. [IMG]http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/22/img2906zx3.jpg[/IMG] Audessy, and some helpers. [IMG]http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/2225/img2912uu8.jpg[/IMG] Watched Transformers laying around on the floor, then when the first batch went home, grabbed some furniture and finished up a little. [IMG]http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/579/img2926jj2.jpg[/IMG] And we're good. Until my 360 RedRinged. That ******. It's functional again after some .. persuasion. But it's on it's way out. Today's project is to wrap and hang the RXL, box the insulation up, and do some [serious] cable management. I won't be showing you that picture.
