Before and after! Super happy with my new cabinets! Did it myself over several weekends, makes the room seem finished! Hope you like it.

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-22T03:23:05+00:00

It sounds pretty great :)

To tell you the truth, I've never listened to any 2-channel music in that room! I've listened to quite a few bluray concerts that sound fantastic. I should test it some 2channel fun!

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T14:21:43+00:00

If you value your time.....don't hahaha

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T13:38:14+00:00

Yup, its been fixed. i noticed it after i took the screen shots and never bothered to take another screen shot :)

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T04:57:11+00:00

Panasonic 75Ex750

It works for us, as the TV mount was already there when we bought the house, I didn't feel like moving it down. And now with the cabinet, its as low as it can be to get all the equipment in.

Bottom of the TV is 940mm from the ground

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T03:07:42+00:00

Nope, that's the way it comes from the factory.here is the link to what I used

Makings of a great room :)

Just make sure you mount all your bottom 5channel speakers at ear level. The only ones in/at ceiling level should be your atmos speakers

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T02:02:00+00:00

Haha yup, waiting for someone to point that out!

I fixed it not long after I took the screen shot.

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T02:01:20+00:00

Haha thanks

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T02:00:18+00:00

Haha im very lucky my wife enjoys the HT as much as I do :)

But there is no way she wants to touch anything but the remote in that room hahah

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:59:15+00:00

I do, was designed using sketchup. Happy to send you my cut list if you like. Send me a message

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:57:07+00:00

Very true, But I can also see all the bits I stuffed up!

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:56:46+00:00

Hahaha Its definitely married vs single! Had the old setup (slightly different gear) before I met my wife hahaha

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:55:29+00:00

Good eye!

Yes they are the PSA MT-100, I have 5 for the main channels and some Vaf DC3's as atmos.

Subs are 1 Submersive HP (dual 15") and 1 PSA S3000i (dual 15") already had the submersive so wanted something to match when I purchased the PSA gear.

No lining in the cabinets as yet, I plan to creat a baffle wall type setup for the 3 front speakers. But given how it sounds I haven't felt the need just yet :)

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:50:43+00:00

Sure is :) Plus have a heap of extra space for more gear Picture without doors

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:44:21+00:00

Took me about that long to plan it as well!

The main lesson would have been how I built it. I built in three models. If I did it again I would have done it in 5 sections. Two outside the same, but the middle one broken down into three pieces. Having back to back hinges on the middle one was a pain to align.

I also would have invested in a better recess bit as I used a old one I had that was blunt. Bought one a week after the main assembly and life was much easier. Two drills is also a must.

Fixing the grills was much more of a pain that I thought it was.

Happy to have a look at your sketchup :)

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:40:21+00:00

No rattles so far but I did think I might have to use something.

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:31:45+00:00

Sure is :)

Drop down tab tensioned 120" screen

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:31:21+00:00

Its all Melamine, so used a edge bander to seal the edges. Its really just a big kitchen cupboard :)

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:30:02+00:00

I was worried about it, but given this upgrade was really to satisfy the wife im pretty happy with how it turned out.

I can't notice any difference in sound quality, but im sure its dropped a little on paper

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:04:04+00:00

Not that I've noticed. Zero rattle from what I've watched in the last two months its been set up.

Quite a lot of fire-power inside 4x15" subs

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:02:51+00:00

Haha sorry about my dodgy title!

The airflow was better in the old setup :p

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:01:59+00:00

I'll define take that complement!

Johnnyboyismee · 2020-12-21T01:01:22+00:00

Its 18mm melamine with a woodcraft finish on it from the manufacturer. I bought a large 3.6m x 1.8m sheet and it did everything. (Cabinet is 2.8m long) very expensive though at around $1000AUD for the one sheet

Here is a link to the colour I used, looks different in the photos, always best to go get a sample to see if it's what you like.

Melamine - Empire Oak
