Title: Media/Theater Room
Post by: FunruhCat76 on October 29, 2015, 10:32:40 PM: So I moved into a house that has an empty room upstairs with no windows. It's intended purpose is to be a media room. Do any of you guys have experience setting one of these rooms up? Any tips, or ways to find deals?

I keep hearing it'll be like 15 Grand!!!??? Dayum

Since you're upstairs, you should run some speaker wire through the ceiling and wire that bad boy up for surround sound.

a soundbar is for people who don't care about sound. that said, pretty much any surround setup with a sub is going to be great imo.

If you get a soundbar don't go cheap. I went w/ a high end Polk and would recommend. I also have surround sound but I hardly ever use it.

More than anything, spend your money on furniture. Deep set couches son.

In and out under $3k. Boom, you got yourself a media room.

Will spend a lot more time in there than in the media room. If windows are the main concern get some blackout shades for when your main room will be used for movies.

All considering you watch a normal amt of movies.
