I don't think I can add anything more, but sound proof as best as you can (afford) from the house. I would highly recommend running CAT 5 in this room before the dry wall goes up. That would provide a lot of expandability in terms of home automation. You can tweak with sound panels once the room is finished and you can get your gear set up.
Building a Home Theater Room
Currently, I'm in the process of building a home. I've dedicated the bonus room as my home theater getaway. The room is located above the garage. It is the only room upstairs.
What would you recommend in the initial rough in of the room with respect to construction? What do I need to do early in the construction phase that will save me money in the long term?
So far, I have asked that 2 seperate dedicated 20 amp circuits be placed in the room. My speaker wire will run on both sides of the room to my surround and rear speakers (Transparent Cable - In wall). I plan on adding a extra sheet rock for the side walls. The floor will have carpet with heavy padding.
The dimensions of the room are as follows: 8 ft. ceiling, 17 ft. width and 20 ft length. Room is a little funny with knee walls coming in at 6 ft high.
I realize that measurements will be necessary for the acoustical treatements. But, my main concern is getting the basics done in the early construction phase.
I look forward to your ideas on this subject.
Thanks
