Great job and thanks for the shoutout. My friend who designed my cabinet came up with the idea for my screen. Glad it was able to provide inspiration for your Home Theater.

@Kyrie Jayson you are welcome =)

I've also seen Youthman's build and was immediately jealous as my circle of friends lacks a skilled woodworker. Your solution gives me renewed hope. It's still probably beyond my personal abilities but I'm thinking I might be able to find a general contractor to help with the basic frames. Really cool that you gave Youthman full props too. He's a great resource. Thanks for this. I needed it as I'm just beginning to plan my project.

Great video may I suggest placing your centre speaker verticaly

Just need to add gas tension arm to keep that help up. Looks good!

Brilliantly done. I was drafting a similar idea but MAN you have some jewels I could’ve never anticipated. Beautiful work, talking about working smarter not harder!!! 🥰

Very nice setup, I just project on the wall. I will keep it that way as my young children live to touch the wall when the video is playing on the projector!

Nice. Great start. Youth man is awesome. He uses high end quality stuff. His screen cost a fortune. Love this Diy option. Thanks.🙂❤

Very good work, I hope build my own home cinema soon!!

I thought you were going to put the car hood shocks on to keep it up?

Very nice. Thanks for the video. Do you recall what latches you purchased?

Hey I know its been awhile since you posted this, I was looking at silver ticket my self and plan on doing this also. I noticed the mounts they have just hang on screws. What did you use to mount th screen to the wooden frame?

Looks great, I have something similar and have been thinking of making my screen flip up. Keep the videos coming sure would like to see the finished project.

Great video man! Yea youthman is awesome. He has one of the best dedicated theaters on youtube. I was thinking mlv but it kind of pricey. That's all I can think of right now.

Love the set up, I am wanting to try this myself, just curious, how deep is the false wall for the speakers, and did you line the back with sound absorption foam?

Great video, thanks for posting this! Can you provide information on the hardware that you used to hold snap the frames together at the bottom of your screen?

Hi Sir Awesome screen work… I’m stuck in the middle. Can you send me the link for the push/click latches. I tried and I couldn't get it like the one you used for your screen

Dude try using the adhesive rubber feat that usually come on a small sheat and with products to stop slipping on glass. They come in a variety of sizes from a few mm to few inches and should be available on Amazon under adhesive rubber feat?

My OCD was in full effect trying to blow that sawdust off my phone from the pilots.

What is the wall built of and how is it attached to the room? Is it permanently installed on top of the carpet? Drywall? Or is the whole thing just sitting there, built on a base of some sort?

Great video. I want to do something similar. Does the sub and speakers shake the screen from sound waves going through it?

Cool idea and cool video. Like others here, I want to take this a step farther and keep it up out of the way when not in use. Did you use 2x4 for rigidity? Why not 1x?

This is an awesome idea! I'd like to do something similar as I'm about to start building my screen in the near future. Can I ask where you got the two locking mechanisms for the bottom? I'm sure I can find something on Amazon that is similar but thought I'd ask you anyway. Nice work!

Nice. I am hoping to build my own home cinema and the idea of hiding the speakers behind an acoustically transparent screen really appeals to me. However, given the detail of 4K images i.e. no real pixels visible even up close can I ask if the holes/perforations that are present in the acoustically transparent screen material are visible in brightly lit scenes? I'm worried the benefit of hiding the speakers is offset by a screen with visible perforations in it. My other option is to use a normal screen with the speakers below it and to the sides and hide them behind acoustically transparent black material. Appreciate your thoughts.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can pull my screen vertically up and out of the way when not in use? I have a 2 story great room, and it's not a straight ceiling (sloped), so I can't do what you're doing here. Thanks for any thoughts.

Very nice work. Do you notice any movement in the screen when the subs are hitting hard?

Place the center verticaly

It would be helpful if you can list the item you bought in amazon :D

Can you share your design and materials

If I were you I'd lose the center speaker and get a third floor stander and match the L C R, no reason not to now that there's vertical room! And I'd use two support columns instead of one center one (it blocks your center channel sound - i don't know why you didn't think of that?)

Hello.. amazing work! Quick question. I am debating buying the Silver Ticket Acoustically transparent screen for my 4k projector. How is your experience with the audio and video performance? I habe read that with woven and perforated screens, there could be loss of audio.. and video is also not as clear due to graininess and woven fabric. Plus there is loss of light because if sound can come through.. light can penetrate through. But since you seem to be perfectionist.. was curious to know your thoughts on the performance if this screen and also loss of audio video, if at all

Thanks for your question. This is my first home theater with a projector so I don"t really know better. With nothing else to compare it to other than my 70" 4K Samsung, I'm very happy with the screen. I did put the black fabric behind the screen (in front of speakers). The images are great and the sound is great. Watching Comcast Cable sucks. But blu-rays and streaming is just fantastic.

I thought that I would be opening it up a lot. Turns out that I only open it to show off the speakers. The assembly is not that heavy. Youthman's is all metal so he used struts. If I ever get physically unable to lift it, then I will put in the struts. Thanks for your interest.

Good Q. To make sure that all bass blasts out thought the screen. If I put it on the floor behind the screen, much bass could be cancelled out echoing behind the screen. Also to put it about ear level. One sub is also higher than the other to help with bass distribution. If the subs were in the main room and not behind the screen, then the floor is perfect.

Virtual Daveailty great video and instruction into how you went about the build. My only question is did you measure your subs room response on the floor first before deciding to elevate them? Unlike high and midrange frequencies, Subwoofer frequencies are omnidirectional so their output wouldn’t be blocked or cancelled out as long as phase and time alignment are done correctly. My concern is having them elevated so high is costing you low end output overall.

Are you going to do a theater tour when it’s done?

Never did the struts. Didn't need them.

Sorry, I must protest. I posit that I was the one who designed a screen that folded out of the way precisely in that manner -- pulling it up against the ceiling. And it was in 1962 at the University of Notre Dame where I was a freshman. Our dorm, Dujarie Hall, had a common recreation room on the first floor which had a small stage on one end about 15 feet deep. It also had a dusty Bell & Howell 16mm sound projector in a storage closet in the basement that I discovered in my nosey wanderings about the old turn-of-the-century building (last century). I immediately made it my business to turn that rec room into a movie theatre. After hours of work cleaning and lubricating the projector, I got that in good working order, the next project was to construct a screen. Now mind you, there was no budget working here, everything I needed had to be begged borrowed or...well, begged or borrowed. I was able to build a frame out of wood given to me by a woodworking shop on campus and the theatre department let use a kind of white nylon scrim material that was very transparent to sound but dense enough to make a very proper screen. I knew that speaker was going to be place back stage behind the screen so solid screens were out of the question. Once the frame was build and the material attached and proper black velour masking applied to the perimeter, the next hurdle was, what to do with it between movies? It couldn't roll up, which of course would be a great solution if possible, but I didn't have that luxury. At first I though, just unhook it from the ceiling and story it against the back wall of the stage, but that would have be a major chore each weekend when I had the shows. What to do. EASY. Attached the top of the screen frame to hooks in the ceiling and simply pull that bottom piece up to meet the ceiling. Viola! Screen is out of the way. Unlike your rig, my screen folded way from the audience seating area and up into the stage ceiling. Luckily the stage wasn't used as such; they just used it for storage so the stage didn't need to function as a stage, allowing me to cover the ceiling with my screen without needing to worry about lights and such. There was only one ceiling light from which I ran extension and put lights on either side of the stage so people could still get at storage junk back there. Luckily for me, that stage had a nice gray, fully working curtain that I could use to open as the first frames of the cartoon projected on it, and close it at the end of each show. I got my dad to ship my massive speaker system that I had built when I was in HS; it consisted of a 15in woofer, an 8in midrange and a horn tweeter with a dispersion lens attached to the front. All from Lafayette Radio (older folk will remember them -- the very first huge parts electronic parts company). Speakers were driven by my 25w Heathkit Williamson amplifier -- mono of course -- 16mm tracks were mono. This system gave a wicked punch. The screen material didn't seem to have any attenuation effect at all on the sound. The stage had a curtain so no way I was not going to use that for my movie presentation I wired an indicator pilot lamp back stage by the curtain pull cables so I could cue one of my other geek friends to open and close the curtain for me. Blue colored lights on a big rheostat dimmer played on the curtains and I had blimped the projector so you could barely hear when it was running. I built a 6 foot stand so the light beam was way above the audience's heads. It was as close to a real movie theatre as I could get. At first I had to book only free films and to my surprise there was lots of film that were sponsored and fully free except for shipping them back which was on me. I got 16mm prints of sponsored films from four main sources -- Modern Motion Pictures and Sterling Films and Prudential Insurance company made the whole "Twientieth Century" TV series with Walter Cronkite available for free -- the equivalent of today's 20/20, only with more in-depth stories and of course with the gravitas of Mr. Cronkite. This stuff was pretty entertaining (remember, there was no video at all back then so entertainment was pretty sparse; having movies right in our own dorm meant I had pretty much a captive audience and just about anything moving on a screen pulled in a good size bunch of movie-goes. Pizza and popcorn didn't hurt to draw them in either. There was another rich source of free 16mm titles -- the good-ole US Army also loaned out sports games on film -- these were produced for the troops -- basically network games that the army contracted with the networks for distribution to the army bases. There were major league baseball and football games that were about a year old. I ran these ran on Friday nights I billed them as the "Friday Night Sports Reel Spectacular;" the house brothers loved them. I also got the on-campus TV station to loan 16mm cartoons that they ran for their Saturday morning children's shows. They were all Heckle and Jeckle cartoons, so nothing from WB Merry Melodies which I really would have wanted, but they were good enough to show at the top of each program. We always opened with a cartoon just the way REAL movie theatres did back then...and with a curtain opening, lights dimming too! Finally after making enough money on the pizza and popcorn concessions, I finally was able to afford to rent full length Hollywood features from FIlms, Inc. and Twyman Films. For those "real" movie shows, maybe once a month, I would borrow a second projector for dual changeover of multiple reels. Switching audio was a simple switch arrangement, but switching projector images required making solenoid operated shutters that were placed in front of the projector blimps. Switching the change-over switch would flip open the shutter on Projector 1 while closing the shutter on Projector 2. It worked beautifully except that the solenoids were a bit noisy and outside the blimps. The audience pretty much knew when a change over was coming. I do remember the first feature film I ran -- George Pal's WAR OF THE WORLDS. It was a massive hit back then and FIlms, Inc. got it pretty soon after the theatrical release, which back then was a big deal. It was a major hit in the Dujarie Hall Theatre as well. Second bit feature that was the talk of the rival campus halls was "CAROUSEL" which needed anamorphic lenses for each projector. It did some doing to get that going, but it finally came together and wow, what that went over like blockbusters. Anyway, back on topic, unless anyone can claim that they devised a method of moving a screen out of the way by storing it on the ceiling, then I claim that title -- 1962, Dujarie Hall, University of Notre Dame, at the Dujarie Hall Theatre.
