One of the most important things to consider when thinking about building a home theatre system is acoustics. If you have ever been inside a real cinema, you will know exactly what I mean by this. There is a sea of noise that spills out into the room, and it is impossible to enjoy a film if the sound is drowning out the people in the cinema theatre with you. This means that your home theatre system must be designed to take the sound from the actual room in which you want to use to create your movie theatre experience. 

So where do we start? Well, it is very important that the acoustics of the room be carefully studied, and there are many different methods of doing this. Basically, all systems operate on the same principles, which are known as phase conversion. You may have heard of some of the other techniques used, such as ultrasound or wave theory. They are all part of the science of acoustics and are very important to understanding how it works. 

The basic idea behind speaker placement is that the speaker will take the sound from the environment and change it into sound waves. This is done by a number of mathematical equations. When designing your home theatre speakers, it is important that the speaker is placed in the best position to produce the desired results. For example, you need to make sure that the front speakers are the most forward, while the surround speakers should be positioned away from the listener. Remember, that even though they are not in view of the audience, the listener’s hearing capabilities are affected by the sound waves! 

In addition to being in the best position to receive the sound waves, the speaker is also in the best position to produce the best quality sound for that particular room. In other words, it is not only the placement of the speaker that is important. It is also the quality of the speaker. In addition to the tweeter and woofer, you will want to include mid-range and bass speakers to the mix. These will help to anchor the music and provide a foundation upon which the rest of the band can build their songs. 

You might be tempted to think that all you have to do in order to get the speaker’s right is to have the right location. And this is true, but there is more to it than that. There are many factors that go into building a great home theatre system, such as the quality of the speakers and the quality of the woofers. In fact, the woofers are where many of the dynamic speaker decisions are made. A good rule of thumb is to place the woofer a little behind the speaker that handles the lower tones. On the other hand, if you are planning to use a subwoofer, then the direction of the speaker will be more important. 

You should try to avoid placing the woofer in a position where it is likely to hit your children or sit on your lap and so on. Keep in mind that an improperly placed speaker can create the wrong type of sound, and as a result the sound of the entire system. Remember that speakers are not just a speaker, but a system and when it is not set up properly, it is far more difficult to optimize the sound. 

One tip that you should consider is that often the best way to balance a speaker is to place the woofer further away from the listener. This helps to minimize feedback as well as help to produce a much better sound. However, far away speakers still need to be pointed at the listener

to produce an acceptable result. This means that you can either place the woofer on the far end of the room, or place it at a considerable distance from the listener. This is why many people use powered crossovers to handle multiple speaker systems, since they allow you to point the speaker as close to the listener as desired without hurting the sound. 

When you are building a home theatre system, there are some additional factors to take into consideration. If you have an unfinished basement, getting the correct wiring for electrical components is important. Moreover, if you are completing the basement prior to building the theatre, you have to make sure that your plumbing is all set as well. Many basements have the rough plumbing design ready to go.  You can go online to find a plumbing company such as Fix It Right Plumbing in Melbourne who can assist. 

When building your home theatre, you have to make sure you have a design drawn out to guide the entire process. This way you know how much area you have to work with. Your basement design should include a floor plan of the bathroom and or a wet bar separate from the main theatre room. Keep in mind that the design is a good indicator for your theatre space. 

Once you complete the basement and the new theatre room, it will give you the opportunity to have an extension to your home and an area to look forward to for lounging and relaxing.
