I was thinking of ways to cover up the lights and such but prefer it not under the screen...neater for me. But I have a little balcony that might fit all the equipment. Will wall up the balcony for this purpose. it's about 5'x4'. Think would need a IR extender to transmit directly into the AV rack.
yeah...i like the in your face kind of experience...but so much till i have turn my head just see things going on the side. i will duct tape the wall to simulate a 120" screen and sit 13' away.

will be 7.1 setup....good to have 2 sub woofer?

I will gather all information and with intended floor plans for my HT room and create a topic to get feedback and suggestions.

I was asking if we can install 2 woofers. instead of 1
