I'm not sold on multiple subs and this is from someone who's had a powered sub connected to almost every speaker, at one time...I got em free so why not use em.
Bass isn't directional, so if your sub is set correctly, you can hear/feel it but not tell where its located. The idea of having several in a set up looks good...in the pic above, the theater has 2 large subs about 8 feet apart in front, but I can't imagine that would be necessary. If there's not one in the back, I'd switch it there instead.
Great thread. Thanks.
aahhh been having a projector in my cart for like a yr now .....

Add some light boxes and back lighting to your TV.
Just started putting together my joint Friday night
Bruh, I'm so outta the loop on new tech...I used to sell this stuff years ago, when it was a hobby, but haven't kept up with some of the latest gear...
Why would it be necessary to upgrade your receiver? You don't HAVE TO run the video signal through it. You could just run the audio out of the video source.
If the tv is already 4k or 1080p, does the receiver enhance the pic even more?
How much better is Atmos than regular Dolby digital? Isn't that just for overhead effects? How often is that even relevant in a movie?
Got mine built last fall. Did it as part of finally getting the basement done. It sounds awesome and looks BETTER than AMC and REGAL .

several reasons.. not even talking about picture quality.
i didn't spend all this money to have partial functionality...
you don't get all the on screen features from your receiver if you are not using your TV as a monitor.
you also don't get lossless audio because optical audio is compressed...AND my 77 inch LG C1 does not support DTS master audio. LG dropped support for DTS a few years ago. Can't use hdmi for sound either because I need eARC for full movie theater sound.. I only have ARC.
and it's just more convenient to run every thorough the receiver IMO.
hope that answers your question.

Thanks! Still need to get some acoustic panels......
Perfectly, bro...sounds like you know your stuff.
Tech has gone bananas over the last 25 years or so…
When you have a theater like that, you ain't missing nothing by staying at home to watch a movie.
@TREES, great pics!
