Ok, So now that the spa's been paid for for a while, and I just got done with a 2 year long project of finishing my basement, I decided to pop in a home theater setup.

I am going with a front projection system which will give me a screen size of about 96" diagonal.  It's amazing the screen size and quality you can get for the money.

My components should all arrive by Friday, so I'll have a lot to do this weekend setting things up.  In addition to installing the projector and all of the other components, I'm making my own screen.  

Hope to get in a little tubbing as well.

Anyone else out there have a projection setup, or any other home theater rig, for that matter?

Funny but a few years ago.....It was a business I thought about getting into....I used to work in Home Audio as well as Mobile DJ and Club equipment the gentleman I worked with started his own line of DJ equipment and is now the largest Manufacture of DJ/Club equipment  in the US....me with my great wisdom and for sight got into the Record business instead of staying with him....anyway....I was wondering....How are you making your own screen.....

Brewman:
Still working out the details, but my plan so far is to construct a frame out of square aluminum tubing, using flat corner braces to connect the sides.  Then I will use blackout cloth or some other material for the screen surface.  There are several web sites that describe diy screen making.  It's one area where a substantial amount of money can be saved.  Ready made screens are suprisingly expensive.

One of my favorite websites for parts - http://www.av-cables.net  Though the owner of the site is a Masterspa owner. ;D

A few years back I had a housemate that bought a projection set up. We had no TV services it was soley for DVD/Video use. We projected it directly onto the off-white wall and plugged it into the surround stereo system. We also used if for event parties; I produced related movies and continually projected them in the dance room.  It was a fantastic experience, one that continues to be talked about. In my contemplation of Home Theater upgrading I've been considering the same.
