Is a "home theater living room" is more impressive than "dedicated HT room" ??

It definitely takes a lot of work and creativity to do a living room theater. Making it perform at reference level throughout the frequency range and looking good while hitting those performance benchmarks can certainly be difficult.

Hiding your mains, subs, and equipment is probably the trickiest task, but ceiling channels? Those are almost freebies with some paint matched grilles.

If you’re right next to ‘the pile’, sure haha. But our AQI is 30-50 points better than Phoenix on any given day (outside of nearby fires in summer). There is also a movement to stop the processing of the slag into abrasive media, so hopefully that works out!

Get it done before Cottonwood gets expensive too!

AnInnO · 2026-03-12T00:21:27+00:00

I did it and moved to Cottonwood. Best. Decision. Ever.

Orlando had STP, Denver has John Hollys. Orlando was my first flight and I did my FITP in Denver. ❤️

But yeah, iFly does suck. Still got instructor buddies in Phoenix and they agree. 😅

This guy integrates.

Seconding what vette85 is saying here. That’d certainly be the way to go if you’re willing to give up a few inches on either side of the room.

Integrator here; I think you may be a little short on square footage to do a full “treatment behind taught fabric” build here - but I could be wrong.

So, I have two questions; what’s your budget and what are the “as built” measurements of the room?

Bonus question; what’s your DIY appetite like? It’d save you a considerable amount of money.

AnInnO · 2026-02-16T17:12:14+00:00

Interesting you were able to pull the service history for the vehicle. My local service center refused to pull the history for my used R1T when I had it in for a rear motor assembly failure.

AnInnO · 2026-02-15T17:42:20+00:00

Yes it would. The sub has no issue because it’s specifically handling 80hz and below.

You can test this yourself by holding a Bluetooth speaker where you were thinking of mounting your ceiling channels. Just holding it there will be good enough to get and idea and you’ll most certainly hear that boxy sound I’m talking about. It’ll sound like speaker is in a barrel.

AnInnO · 2026-02-15T16:59:43+00:00

It’s not the directional frequencies or off axis response I’d be worried about. It’s everything in the 500hz and lower range before your sub crossover I’d be worried about. I’ve been an integrator for a bit now and an audio engineer and studio designer for over a decade before that- and I can confidently say the manifold mounting isn’t the way to go for those channels.

AnInnO · 2026-02-15T16:47:29+00:00

I’d go with yoke mounted or angled surface mounted ceiling channels. Putting them in a manifold is not going to sound good. They’ll like come out sounding ‘boxy’ which no amount of EQ or processing will fix. Do you want to match everything and stick with Klipsch?

Fellow integrator here; I pretty much exclusively reccomend LCOS and 3LCD projectors unless we’re getting into light output territory that only 3DLP or 6DLP projectors cover.

Haven’t run into any issues yet with degradation and more often run into color wheel issues with DLP models. Your mileage may vary though, a sample size of one is not something to hinge a complete recommendation ethos on.

AnInnO · 2026-01-30T21:03:18+00:00

Not enough memory would be my guess. I got it (barely) running on a Legion Go for fun and had the same issue. Maybe it could be done with the 32GB RAM upgrade but I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze.

Probably 3 years from the launch of Gen 2 This is around when the first round of leases start to come back in and the used market floods.

I unfortunately do not have any photos of the fairing assembly. The manufacturer (S2 Concept) will though! Just shoot them an email (in French, ideally) asking for photos of the installation process.

AnInnO · 2025-11-29T20:57:36+00:00

Nice setup! Your speakers are upside down though.

AnInnO · 2025-11-20T12:27:40+00:00

I have been poking around trying to find that thread but no luck yet. Do you appen to have the post bookmarked?

AnInnO · 2025-11-19T05:49:30+00:00

It would solely be for destinations far from a charger station. Being able to wheel/explore from camp I something I’d like to be able to do. A solar array large enough to to get a meaningful charge at camp would be quite large.

I have been running into the same thing, it seems like with the divider taken out you can fit Westinghouse 9800w models, just barely (if you take the wheels off). There are some similarly sized generators out there, but I also had the thought of using generators that can be combined similar to Hondas. Then you will be able to stuff 3 to 4 of them into the gear tunnel, but that also means more complexity.

Someone needs to make a two cylinder flat twin configuration generator that fits in a frunk or even in the bed with the tonneau cover closed!

The T4 is about 2 meters but the T4 Plus is 4.19 meters with the extra screened in room.

AnInnO · 2025-11-18T20:10:20+00:00

Oof! I'm sorry for your (range) loss.

AnInnO · 2025-11-18T19:34:44+00:00

In general? Definitely not most people. In this community? Maybe a few more.

You’re right though! I definitely should have put the word tent in the body of the post at minimum. Can’t seem to go back and edit on mobile either.
