In 2015 my wife and I purchased a home that included a modest 22’-10” x 14’-11” x 8’ - 6” rec room. It was a second story room without windows and at least some original intent as a theater when it was constructed. I have a little bit of experience with home theaters and am a longtime reader / member of avforum.com, so the wheels were turning as soon as I stepped foot in the room for the first time. I got my chance to start bouncing ideas around 5 months after we moved / settled in.
This build is actually a condensed version of my build thread originally posted on avforum.
