Finally got the ok off my beloved to go ahead with this. I've been wanting to do this since we moved in 7 years ago.
The snug is a small extension (14' x 12') on the side of the house which has just been a chill-out/reading/rubbish dumping/room. But now it is about to become our second lounge/cinema room.
I hadn't planned to do this for a few months yet, but getting a great bargain on the projector kick-started it early.
I planned to have a 92" screen and a ceiling mounted projector between 3 and 4m away, all speaker cabling and power to screen and projector would go through the ceiling as we have a sloping roof, so just about enough space to get in and do the runs.
Equipment so far:
Epson EH-TW6100
Sapphire SEWS200RWSF-A screen
Yamaha FX-V767
Tannoy Mercury F3's Front & Centre
Q-acoustics surrounds
Mission Rears (to be changed)
Sky HD
Sony BDP S370 (to be changed)
First thing to do was open up the ceiling to gain access.
This was when I made two discoveries:
1. There is not a mm of insulation up there!
2. We have a hornets nest!
*I seem to be having a problem uploading pics, will do so once I get it sussed
Can a moderator move this to the Home Cinema Building DIY section please
