Plus, my GF has bought a mirror for above the fireplace, she would kill me if I told her no. It was hard enough convicing her to OK all the equipment! :dizzy:
Umm, bit hard with a door in the way! ;) (bottom right)
And yes Saint, you can tweak it! ;D

Dude, seriously! You are adding (man)value to the house. If she wants somewhere to put the mirror then mount it over your bed ;)
Hahaha, yeah, funny as hell though! :applaud:
The Chill zone is basically some sofas, a table, some outdoor white xmas lights that will be run down the back wall, a lamp heater for those colder nights and a little extra that I am keeping secret...
The speakers will hook up to one of the ports on my amp so that I can hook up my ipod/xbox and listen to some music, but the sound will come in handy for other more visual things too...
The amp I will proably go with is the Denon 1910.
The GF is very reasonable, about 85% of the house ideas came from me. She quite likes gadgets but she also likes the fact that we can take them with us if we ever move. I have to admit I agree with that after spending £600 on speakers (superfi had a bargain offer!)
Loving the feng shui...
TVs over the fireplace are the tackiest thing ever. In 30 years, whenever someone is making a comedy about the 00s, guaranteed you'll see TVs over the fireplace as an icon of the era. :P
Well, it turns out that the plastering could be a nightmare.
We need to remove some on the external walls and redo it.
We also need to do a few ceilings due to cracks. One guy recommended I mesh it and plaster it, another told me overboard. The problem with overboard is that there is original coving. Does anyone know if the mesh method is decent. I know a crack will appear over time but how big will it be? Can't I just fill it a paint it when it does occur?
Fun fun fun... :timebomb:
As for the chill room, don't forget to add a humidor when using that "special" inspiration. It tends to not smell the house up as much... (You were talking about weed, right?)
Been there, done that. The responses are slow and generally unhelpful on that forum. You do get the odd person who is extremely helpful, but they are few and far between. Plus, I like this forum more :P
What cable should I use to connect the plates? Coax? And if so where can I buy some from? More importantly, how do I connect the cable to the phono connectors? If I solder, what part do I use?
Also, will I need to use a splitter to connect the wall plate to the sub? If so, what type? (you can see the back of the sub here: ACOUSTIC ENERGY AEGIS NEO 5.1 SPEAKER PACKAGE - available from Superfi UK Visit http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/moreinfo.cfm/product_id/3225 for details)
Dang, that looks like a lot of work.
But it also looks like it's going to be awesome when you finish!
:applaud:
No kidding! You have been a busy boy.
I hope you have a nice area planned for your cab once its built :)
Sweet :)
I have cabs in the kitchen, two bedrooms and garage at the moment. Think I'm starting to push the GFs leniency :D
I was surprised when you mentioned that your GF had a mirror picked out, cos I thought you were gay based on your first post. Who refers to his girlfriend as his partner, lol?

It's coming into fashion. People want names without various cultural taboos, stereotypes, etc. To a certain degree, it is a legitimate conceptual development.
One must admit, though, that to some degree this conceptual development is clearly an illegitimate one.
Admittedly my only interest was attempting to point out how asinine your post was.
