    Not sure if in right place



    Help me out please. I am working on my basement and going to make a HT room. Would the rear speakers (3) be too far away? Should I mount them at hear level or higher?

    Please please please....if ANYONE has ANY input or suggestions PLEASE feel free to add.

    I am going to run a 2" PVC in-wall behind T.V. for HMDI, cable, etc... Should I run conduit for speaker wires, or just run them like running romex?

    Does anyone know of where I could get surge protection which I can mount on or by electrical panel? i.e. I am putting a recessed recep behind my HDTV which is going to be mounted on wall, and a/v stand below the T.V. I would like to sure protect my HDTV and A/V equipment.

    Please help with anything if possible......i am having a case of 'no ideas'

          Your rear speaker placement is fine. Ear level is a good idea. The surrounds can be set up about like the front pair with a listening triangle, which is what it looks like you're doing. Conduit isn't needed for speaker wire but there is a jacketed cable intended for in-wall installation. Here's a source for that from a forum sponsor.

              If a movie/music is mixed for a certain speaker configuration, you are going to get the best results by sticking with the recommended configuration.

                  by ericschirm
                  I just ordered the drywall so this is my last chance for any changes. Please let me know if I am missing anything.

                  The room is 18.5 x 12.5 x (10ft ceilings but will have to drop 1 ft because of pipes, frame & sheetrock) with a storage closet and a double window. I haven't decided...

                  I'm hoping somebody here can help me with an idea.

                  My house has a centralized equipment room in the lower level, distributed throughout the whole house. Therefore, for the two most important A/V zones, the theater and the living room, there is an in-wall conduit for each from the equipment...

                  I want my HDTV!
                  by Sonnie Parker
                  It's a shame that our local area broadcasters are dragging their feet on their digital and HD broadcasting. In our rural area the analog signal is poor even with a good rooftop antenna and amplifier. The one local network broadcaster that is offering DTV in my area has a limited signal that only reaches...

                  i have searched and found that several people have posted questions about modifying one of the existing projects to work as in inwall. the issue seems to be the depth limitation and i saw mentioned that if you had a 2x6 it would be much better. common practice for building a theater today is to use...
