shit is dope man esp. if you entertain ppl frequently...shit sometimes tho I'd practice by myself...I got good as hell for a minute

[/IMG] Started like you this is how mine ended
I never shoot pool and got a lake in the back yard and hardly ever fish, before I bought this house I use to love those two things.
I got a cave, that wifey was bitching about when I was putting It together, now though she's always bringing her friends down in my spot to entertain
Digging the chairs and set up man.
I'm so broke I can't even furnish right now.
I have an open area where I have the pool table (my birthday/Xmas gift), and future plans for a small kitchenette, bar and seating area.
We have a bedroom down there with a full shower and toilet. a bonus/fitness room, home office, and media room too, but on hold as per furnishing until I get more funds.
I went into this knowing it is not my "man cave" but a spot for the whole family.
The media room I will set up as a small mancave since I plan to have my consoles (PS4 and XB1) connected down there.
Still debating what to do for overall sound (music playing)
I plan to get a 75" SUHD Samsung if prices come down in 2017.
Lots of potential
Pool table - Space in the back is where a small bar/kitchen will go, and a seating area with a TV on the wall
Home office behind pool table with pocket doors. Other door is where a bonus room/fitness room or whatever the fuck room will be
Before pool table - Media room is the open door to the right
Media room - Wall where TV or projector screen will go
Raised platform in media room for seats - Still need to carpet this room - Scheduled for next Friday
Finished bathroom/shower

Left one famThanks.
Your picture just reminded me i still need to choose between these two tiles
Black diamond screens and ambient light control are essential. My shit looks fucking great.
I miss my custom bar from my first crib I built. We didn't have any room in the new crib because the wife wanted an air hockey table which the kids nor her no longer use.
Just moved in a few months ago and I'm in the process of ordering more posters and getting them framed. Had to take a break to buy Christmas shit.
I have multiple spots throughout my house that have my stamp on it. I mostly hang in my office. The kids and I usually hang in the game room and the wife, kids, and I watch a ton of BGOL movies in the theater room.
i like how you did the backwall. we bought the same damn tub when we redid our bathroom
Thanks.

I didn't pay anyone to do anything. Did it all myself. If interested in what I did, I could post it here.
Yea. I wired everything before the contractors put in insulation and sheetrock, right after they framed.
Granted I did my room 7/8 yrs ago now.
But my screen, there was a guy that used to sell just the cloth alone on eBay, you could find the size for the space you need, my wall is I think 10 ft wide, and found something that was just under 120" with a decent height was about 5'. At the time, I paid about $40-50
Then you can buy a roll of 4" felt tape. They are made for the screens, make sure you get a roll long enough for the 4 sides of the screen. Cost about $30-40 also. I'm sure Amazon may have all this today, but back then got this stuff from ebay.
Then my speakers are ceiling mounted Phoenix Gold 8", there are one in each corner and one dual voice coil over the center of the screen. Painted all the grills the same color of the room, almost flush where you almost can't see them. Those I think I paid about 60-80 for a pair and the center coil was a bit more.
Also have an amplified 12" square sub behind my back row of seats that shakes the whole room, that was $100.
Each speaker, I cut a template for the mounting holes and had to size them up being careful of my beams in the ceiling, making sure you're centered between the beams. Also threw some insulation padding over the tops of the speakers to try to muffle the sound somewhat, cause both of my son's rooms sit on top of the theater room.
My amp is an Onkyo, was under $300. Also got a Onkyo multi DVD changer which broke and was replaced with a XBMC box about 5+ yrs ago.
Back then, I got a Vivitar office type projector, was about $600, didnt have BGOL baller status money to get a cinema style $3k one. But need to upgrade it at this point. Now a good Epson is about 4-500. I'm not anal, nor is the fam about the richness in the black detail or any of that with color contrast or whatever else. Picture just needs to be clean 720p to 1080p.
Oh and slap some kind of good power surge protection on it with a equipment warranty. Where I live, storms tend to kick out the power and didn't want to fry my amps.
Last but not least, don't buy hdmi cables that tell you they do this and that BS from any store like Monster from Best Buy. All my cables are from Amazon cost about $2. Except the longest one running to my projector which is 35ft.
Hdmi cables are digital, there is no degradation of quality like regular analog signal. Don't believe the hype or BS any store employee tells you. I did a lot of research when buying all my stuff and read many home theater forums.
One last thing, my seats. I bought them from 4Seating. They were under 3k and were supposed to be leather. I have two loveseats in the front row and a row of 3 in the back. They were this cheap fake bonded leather and stripped and cracked about 2yrs ago. So now I face having them all reupholstered or buying new ones. And my baller status ain't at BGOL levels this past year. So that's one of the other things I need.
But any other questions, just ask. I saved thousands not paying an installer. You can too.

my "man cave" just consists of a 55 inch tv and 7.1 surround sound right now. in another year or 2 i'll be ready to build it up. with the many contacts i run into in the theatre industry i think i'll be able to build my room on a great budget. as far as cables i usually get them from monoprice.com. i been looking at this site http://www.theaterseatstore.com/?gclid=COPzsK_jntECFVWewAodC4EC9w for seating options. i like this guy's theatre. he made a website for it and everything http://freytheater.com/
They are the same company I got my seats from. They have 3-4 websites where they are all the same, and now I see it listed as bonded leather . years ago they just called it leather, deceived many online.
The bonded leather isn't real leather, it's a vinyl type material that is painted on material that cracks and peels. It's not even a good quality vinyl. I plan to probably redo my seats in this quality brand of vinyl I've found. It lasts 20 yrs and looks and feels just like leather but liquids or clothes won't scratch or damage it.

just start piecing it together. make a list of everything you want/need and start pricing it. then start down the list and buy one item at a time. i think that could work. a friend of mine did that and had his home theatre pieced together within 2 years.
Please do...All info helps. We plan to carpet the theatre room, and 2 other rooms.
That's one of the mistakes I made. I should have wired for internet before drywall...I didn't. Same thing for audio. I didn't
When I was in the midwest, they didn't care. I had free run of the crib. In Houston I had to slip the Project manager a 50 spot so I could go in. If I had a single story it would have been simple to wire after the fact but a two story you have to be pro active.Please do...All info helps. We plan to carpet the theatre room, and 2 other rooms.
