Hello,
I am currently working on designing my basement and thinking to put a home theater/projector in it. I am putting a sample floor plan of how i am thinking about my theater setup. I am extremely new with dolby atmos or any theater set up so looking for some guidance on how to do this. The use is going to be mostly for kids usage/weekend movies for us. Of course working with limited budget so want to stay in balance between budget vs performance. I am thinking to do Dolby atmos 5.1.2 set up. I want to use all ceiling/wall speakers except the subwoofer if it's possible as i have full control of how i can setup and run wiring. I am attaching the floor plan here. The ceiling height is 9 feet. I just want to make sure that what i have makes sense and I am not just throwing money away in setting this up. All my AV receiver and speaker wires are going to be run back to a closet which is under the stairs.
My questions are
1) Does this plan makes sense as far as the screen and projector screen's location? The reason i kept it this way was to get the most open floor plan i can get with young kids who has chance to get more open area. My sitting is on 11 feet wall and project is on the 15 feet wall. I have small window openings behind the projector screen but i was thinking to use blackout curtains for those if needed.
2) Since my sitting position is very close to my rear speakers does it make sense to put them on that back wall or should it be rather on the ceiling?
3) Is the distance between sitting and 120 inch project screen optimal distance? or am i too close?
4) Does my 2 ceiling speakers (found blue dots) look like at correct setup? or should i move it to the middle of the room or have 2 more in the middle?
5) What kind of wirings will i have to run for my AVR room? HDMI, Ethernet, power cables?
