Hello All - Long time follower and learned a lot form many of you in this hobby ! Time for me to ask experts for suggestions.. My basement "theater" room is about 13' x 18' with a 7' drop ceiling. A false wall was built back in 2012 with 18" deep and a stage about 13' x 3' wide filled with sand bags and 3/4" MDF .My projector is JVC X550 / RS420 on a elite 100".. Polk Rti A9 as my mains and their Csi matching center, HSU VTF-3 MK2 (center and sub hidden behind the screen wall. All my surrounds are from polk mounted a the ear-level from MLP.. I may be moving to DIYSG 1099 mains and volts for surrounds, hopefully move to an AT screen as well, all that sometime next year !..I recently acquired 2 Mini Marty's with UXL-18's , these cabs have about 24" deep, I'd like to put them behind the screen wall.. I understand that i need to remove the false wall and build one to accommodate the marty's, but questions are:1. for the new false wall, how much more space do i need ? 2. Do i need to consider using double studs to make sure these 2 subs doesn't rattle / shake the screen at reference levels ?3. What alternatives would you suggest to reduce the glare from white drop ceiling? I don't want to take up project to drywall my ceiling due to several reasons..On a different note: with the dimensions mentioned above, do you see any benefit doing atmos with 9 channels vs 11 ?Thanks and appreciate all your feedback..!
Thank you Mike!.. i'll give you a call to discuss the dreamscreen material.For celiing, i'm wondering if i should build out few 2' * 4' frames and wrap that with black velvet and hang it flush to the ceiling..!.For the floor, thinking about using black soft area rugs.. Hope these things would make some difference in the PQ..Is there a noticeable difference in going from 7.2.2 to 7.2.4 for my room dimensions?
