![DIY Home Theater Build Series | Episode 6 - ACOUSTIC PANELS & HVAC STUFF
#hometheatergamer #hometheater #diyhometheater
The theater room is in the final stages of completion, with just a few things left to do. Making acoustic panels massively improved the sound quality of the room and finding a solution for acoustic ceiling panels was both fun and frustrating. I also finally figured out the HVAC stuff and where all the heat was coming from and how to “fix” it. Super fun stuff and I can’t wait to share the 7th and final episode on the series!
Also, be on the lookout for a livestream about a week after that final video is posted, answering your questions and just talking about my experience doing this by myself. I’ll also be joined by special guest @ealanosborne, who recently converted an old shed into a dedicated home theater/product review space. You definitely don’t want to miss it.
