Minimum recomended room size?

[elliotjames]

Hi
I am looking to change my garage into a cinema room the room size is only 1.9m x 4.74m.
Its the width that concerns me, will it be wide enough for good surround sound or will the fronts dominate the rears as its very narrow.
Any comments or experiences shared greatly received.
Dont want to spend a great deal of time and cash if its too small !!!
Cheers

I'm no expert by any means, but I've read on here that the ideal ratio for a room is 2:3:5, for example 2m high x 3m wide x 5m long. Having said that, there's quite a lot of threads in the 'Home Cinema DIY' forum of people converting garages, which would seem to be around the size you're looking at.

I'd suggest you have a look on there, as I'm sure many of these people were in the same boat as you.
