I bet Star Wars at your house is just perfect. Awesome build!

I really like your home theater project. Its extremely well put together and looks great, without being overly complicated, and definitely gives the full movie theater feel.

Brilliant Room and great video

This is the best showing of a home theater on KZread. thorough, thorough and thorough!!!

This video was put together very well. Love the soundtrack and the home theater too.

I'm digging the soundtrack from Apollo 13, then what sounded like Batman and to end it with Star Wars. Awesome stuff. Beautiful job.

just stumbled on this, what an awesome video haha! great job with the edit and the classic music choices, amazing :)

Thanks Dugan! Yes, I built the A/V cabinet myself. After searching over hundreds of stands out there, I just couldn't find the right one for everything I needed it to do or go. Mostly because of the subs and wanting them to be built in and together/part of the rest of the gear :). Sounds like you have some nice equipment going on yourself. Have fun with it all and good luck on your plans & setup!!

Really nice! I like how you added a "Now Playing" stand for the movie case. Not only does it give you a place to put it, it also shows what movie is playing. Nice touch.

Thank you! Things had really changed since the 2nd video, and i never got around to creating a 3rd video to show the completion once again. Sadly, we ended up selling the house. But...a new Strantz Theatre is in the works!! Our new house has an unfinished basement with a large clean slate. I will be constructing it completely from scratch from the studs on up!

Thanks rustynails! Yes it's been a fun project and have enjoyed seeing all the changes along the way. Good Luck with yours!!

I work for a Water Softener company. And after starting yet another project in the Movie Room last week, I could say it's turned into a part time job for me this year! I have started the daunting task of painting the white ceiling tiles & white tracks of the screen side a flat, dark chocolate brown. Nothing should be white in your Movie Room other than the screen :). It has been quite the task so far and very time consuming but, the results so far have been well worth the effort!!

Nice set up, like the way you did the video, awesome music. I see you have a white ceiling very close to the top of the screen. I had similar but not as close. The light bouncing back onto my screen caused a loss in contrast at the top, had to cover that part of the ceiling in black velvet to stop light hitting screen.

Julie and Greg, what an awesome job you did on this video. It looks even better in person. I loved seeing all the work that went into the project. So happy for the two of you. Now I just need to come watch a movie in your new theater. Great job!

Greg - WOW nice DIY video and impressive home theater cinema. Enjoy your movie nights.

Not sure how that works. As far as I know there’s no control over setting the volume. Create the video and upload. No settings for volume.

simple BRILLIANT

For sound. Mostly due to the subs in systems. That's a lot of bass/sound traveling through the room and shaking up everything! You want to make sure everything is as tight & secure as possible because of the lows. Same as you do for the walls and if you were to built a stage up front in your theater. Some have gone as far as using sand in their seat risers and stages to really take care of the "empty or hollow" spaces.

Overall I love many things about your video...from the conceptual considerations and presentation of the video itself, to the work and choices that you made regarding construction, style, media/video, and audio....Critically speaking I personally didn't care for the Ashley furniture choices that you made....I respect that it is your personal choice, I just don't care for them myself. Perhaps because I have my eye on a different set of media/theater seating options (the Valencia Tuscany Home Theater Seating | Top Grain Nappa Leather, Power Reclining, Power Lumbar Support, With Power Headrest) I know they are a bit expensive, but I guess, as I said. it is a matter of personal preference. ....Nonetheless, I am subscribing...and Thank you again for uploading

Much more had changed since the 2nd video as well. So much so i was going to do a 3rd. Unfortunately things happened and then sadly we sold the house. Much more to follow since that as well...

NICE

Wow wow wow!

i LOVE how you you made your entertainment center with the built in sub-woofers. i was just thinking of doing some thing like this for my room. i have a similar theater room to yours a lil smaller tho. did u build the center your self? my room has a pair of Energy c-7 towers, cc-1 center, take classic satellites for rears, pioneer fs-52 towers for surrounds, 2x 12" Dayton audio subs. optima HD70 projector and a DIY screen. i love what you have done!
