How To Build A Home Theater System (2018) - The Basics

[@ChrisMajestic]

There have been some concerns about the subwoofer crossover settings in the video. I mentioned setting the crossover around 80hz depending on your speakers. This is meant to give beginners a general idea and example crossover setting. Otherwise people don't know what it is or what the best crossover point is. That being said, it is best to turn your crossover up high on the sub and let your receiver take care of it. I didn't mention this in the video as crossover settings within the receiver can be pretty complicated and takes some time to explain. I've found that the average person starting out doesn't bother with crossover settings on their receiver so I figured it would be best to set it manually as opposed to having a horrible sounding subwoofer.

[@jayjustgames1725]

Majestechs could you please do a video on subwoofer crossover within the receiver?????

[@BurntFaceMan]

Do they no longer make all in one combo DVD/Bluray/HT systems? I want a 4k bluray player built into a home theatre system but no where online seems to have them? I don't want to have to buy multiple different bloody devices just to have things work. My old Sony HT system has a built in Dvd player... in fact pretty much all the ones 2000-2010 seemed to have done this, so why dosn't any system in 2018 have both a 4k player and a 5/7.1 ?????

[@05tsamra]

can you put a 4k projector on a table instead

[@MichelLinschoten]

Majestechs just get a crown xls this way you can use actual big subs for a good price. As it had its own crossovers you do not pay for a subpar plate amplifier in subs. I run 2 18inch jbl jrx 100 subs at 47.5hz at 1025w 4ohm as I run my crown in bridged mono. I simply set the receiver crossover to 50 and dip it a little with the crown which has a way more comprehensive crossover

[@ChrisMajestic]

I'd love to hear how that sounds.

Love your videos! You’re always so professional and straight forward!

[@jamesmc8055]

Sub woofer crawl! That makes so much sense compared to how I've been doing it. When setting up a sound system I play a bass heavy song or movie scene, sit in the seat to listen, then move the speaker to a different spot, sit and listen, and repeat until I find the best bass for the seating location. It never occurred to me it could work the other way. Subbed! (no pun intended)

You're such a boss!!! Your videos are so straight forward and answer everything. Keep it up!!!

[@chaudcola]

You are my main channel when I need to know something regarding the projector. Very articulated and professional, videos are very informative. Keep the good work

[@joedaniel3547]

I love watching his videos. They are always so detailed and presented in a way that minimizes mistakes.

[@rand49er]

[@Bantu-King]

Your videos are helpful in making an educated discission in purchasing audio equipment and making the connections. Thank you!

[@sweggod6511]

Thx for the info, the level of professionalism is outstanding.

[@captainsplash24]

The video was PERFECT! Very informative and you even broke down the cost. I'm looking to start my living room system but I had no idea what to get or where to start but your video gave me a great starting point. Thank you

[@MarioSargeant]

Your videos are the best I've come across. Thank you for your work.

[@sage11x]

One thing: set the low pass filter on your sub all the way up or, if your sub has it, use the bypass switch. Most all receivers have their own bass management and in this way you avoid a cascading crossover effect.

[@RLPerez-un6hv]

Nice info ty

[@amitghosh6966]

How the home theaters produce high frequency sounds without tweeters in the satellite boxes and only 3 inch mid range woofers in each channel ?

[@Miggys.Garage]

Hey man, thank you for making this video. I hope you are doing well!

[@mauritja00]

Dude thank you! Seriously, this pretty much sums up what I should do, I'll have to invest on a real home theater surround system and give up on a soundbar since what I have is a projector

[@jenova288]

why i'm watching this, i cant even buy bread at the end of the month

[@Miguelc271086]

Something to work for

[@jalliboy]

I did it pretty easy. 2 x cerwin vega xls 15 subs 2 pairs of xls 15 speakers. ( one in the front and one in the back) Also in the front i have 2 magnat floor supreme 2000 speakers My centerspeaker is a cerwin vegs xls 6c Got two effectamplifiers: cxa 10 ( one for each xls 15 pair) And one yamaha rxv781 7.1 reciever. It plays loud, and has a hard punch 😂 watching movies is fun on this setup. Yes, also my tv is a panasonic 50" vierra 3d . Old but gold 😁

[@Nestor535]

Dude you channel needs way more recognition it's very tech pro and it's very informative I love your presentation as well it was played all very well

you forgot to talk about popcorn, how to prepare it, taste it ...

[@coleschubert9868]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aam7h6afndWni6c

[@bronstet]

1. NEVER use microwave popcorn! The "butter flavor" is carcinogenic. 2. Always pop your popcorn yourself. 3. Top it with melted real butter 🧈, melted margarine or olive oil spray, smoked salt and dried rosemary sprigs for amazing flavor. You will never again be able to back to movie theater popcorn 🍿

[@akki2020]

Good short video with simple explanation of setup.

[@KentuckyFriedCephalopod69420]

Great content as always, like the straight forward, no bullshit approach you have!

[@dyejimmy]

Greatly appreciate the way you break things down. Very sensible and easy to digest. Great work as always.

[@jamesvincent414]

There are projectors that sit close to the screen at floor level that will also be a good option in some cases that will work better depending on your situation.

[@lizettecordero3342]

I have a Sony STR-AZ1000ES receiver and 8 Revel c-263 speakers plus a Sono sound bar. I'm planning to install a subwoofer but not sure how I should install the speakers or I have too much for my living room. Appreciate your help before doing holes in my ceiling.

[@drewbakka5265]

This dude is pretty concise and effective

[@cometmoon4485]

Drew, buddy! What gives! You never answered my question! Remember, Civ VI, Spain theme? I messaged you a bunch of times! Guess you must have missed the notifications. Oh well. Easy mistake. I'll just ask it here. If Native American groups today started rounding up white people in the USA, subjected them to hellish torture (including but not limited to stripping them naked and impaling their anuses on a large metal pyramid) before burning them alive in public, would you be in support of these hypothetical Native Americans?

[@jordane340]

Hey Chris good job i like how u break the whole thing step by step i enjoy this vid 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@ss4adam]

Quality video. Thank you! Just got myself 2x Energy CF-70 3-Way Floor Standing Speakers, but I'm such a noob I'm having to watch youtube to figure out how to even set these up to use them properly.

[@hemanthbs2649]

You're underrated. You're awesome

[@Reichsm]

Chris thanks for the video but if I am on a budget can I start with a receiver and three speakers like the center and a front left a right then buy the sub and surround later

[@NoahChinnBooks]

You got some good advice, plainly told. Nice!

[@cedricharris7391]

Let’s say I do TV, Atmos Sound bar, and then 2 atmos main speakers on the side, two subs. But nothing in the rear of the room. So it would lack the “surround” sound I guess but would the rest of it still work pretty well? Small living room so I don’t have many options with the rear speakers

[@MrSuperman258401]

Only thing I do different is set sub to LFE and let AVR handle the bass management. Unless your running multiple different subs and need to work different bass response based on room to blend.

[@familiatrois3813]

Good video! Wanted to share that I have had success with a wireless HDMI solution from DVDO for connectivity of my Epson 5030UB (1080p) projector and Yamaha CX-A5100 pre-amplifier. No long runs of HDMI cables, drilling into drywall, or unsightly raceways running along the floor and ceiling. I haven't found a solution for 4K wireless connectivity, but hope that one is available when 4K projectors are more affordable in the future.

[@ChrisMajestic]

J-Tech makes a 4k wireless hdmi kit but I believe it only supports 4k @ 30hz, not 4k @ 60hz. I've used their 1080p solution and it works great.

[@geocev12]

Hi Chris, thanks for all the info!!!! You the best. Question??? How do i install a Sonos Arc Bar , and an 4k Apple tv to an older 720p Sony projector? Please help.

[@claytonwoodruff920]

Great general overview, fast and efficiently. Good video!

[@amitghosh6966]

Do home theaters have tweeter speakers apart from subwoofer ? I want to know as I saw a 4.1 home theater having 4 nos. 3 inch woofers used as satellite speakers which I think maybe for mid range and a 4 inch woofer used as subwoofer with an active crossover inside the box. So I want to know do home theaters also have tweeters like a two channels stereo music systems we had in the past?

[@samuraijaydee]

Great video man, subscribed!

[@americanidle1277]

I love your system man but I would put your subs in the corners, then eq to the room transition frequency, then I'd buy a 3rd tower speaker for identical front LCRs

[@22Picks]

Thanks for everything you do! Keep it up!

[@toddripcity7878]

Ok: I have the Projector And I now have the Receiver : I hook all my devices to the back of the receiver but: the tricky part is I also a “mini pc” which i use to stream tv and to watch 4k movies stored on the hard drive. Do I plug the Mini PC to the projector or still plug into the receiver?

[@RelentlessRod011]

That Klipsch System is my dream system I heard it with just two floor standing speakers and it sounded amazing 😩

[@LilBrujoFH18]

Rodrigo Hernandez IM GETTING THAT HOME SYSTEM SETUP NEXT YEAR. AROUND $3,000. WORTH IT.

[@IvanaGiznya]

They might look cool and all but you can definitely get better at that price point. If you do get them though don’t get the sub get something else. Monolith sub or svs.

[@th3R0b0t]

I got the Reference 12" It's quite comparable to the names you listed. The most important thing is bang for buck. Don't go broke trying to rattle the walls. If you can get any of the brands he listed, or any higher tier name for cheap, jump on it.

[@MichelLinschoten]

Carlos A I’ll just stick to my jbl jrx 100 subs those are 2 x 18 inch passive subs. Get a 400usd crown xls as that amp has more power than any plate amp on a budget and has crossovers build on aside from bridge mono option.. I drove mine at 4ohm 1025watt in bridged mono. I bought the subs for 125 a pair 🙏

[@trixniisama]

@@IvanaGiznya what do you recommend then ?

[@TWD_MANGO]

I love your videos you explain everything really well and you’ve actually helped me build my own home theatre in my room thanks a lot and I wish lots of luck for you

[@saileshsrinivasan7350]

I have a 5.1 sony home theater...with 3 speakers connected to the bluray player come amp and another amp for the rear surrounds....now I want to make this system into a 5.2.4 Dolby setup....what is the best way to do it...btw the ones I have are the Sony BDV-N9200W

[@jessenichols8178]

Very good video, love the theatre. Just one note, always set the crossover on the sub woofer to LFE and let the AVR take care of the crossover freq.

[@RaiderNation86]

We have an older barn that was converted into a guest house on the property we bought. We decided to turn it into a play house for our kids. So there is a bothroom that is no longer functional so we are gutting it and turning it into a movie room. The space is 16tf L, 8ft w, and low 7 1/2 ceiling. Any advice on a sound system?

[@GrimmSmile23]

Great video man, you really did cram in a ton of introductions here and fit it smoothly together Now I’m left wondering what kind of movies you watch in that amazing home theater room! Looks like a high quality stage to use for a film review set in the very least. I can sense from your cadence that your public speaking is more like a technical specialist but if you’ve spent that much time developing such a great theater for enjoying the arts then you’ve gotta have accrued your own philosophical nuggets of truth from them. Anyways, much respect sir and thanks again for all the information!

[@wowCésar]

If I plan on using a projector, will the Roku or fire stick go into the receiver or into the projector?

[@karmatherottweiler8640]

So perfect. Amazing job.

[@ptrmatchett]

I really like the idea of UST projector to make installation simpler but don’t think we’re quite there yet for options, 4K native chips need to come down in price too. Good vid

[@yoshimitsui2]

Home Theater is amazing, I do love the Surround speakers, but I prefer a Soundbar. It's less cash than all of these speaker systems, projector, AV Receivers, etc.

[@jwrecka231]

All good except the sub at 80hz part. Even entry level avr's have bass management so it's best to let the receiver do the crossover and set the subs to lfe. Well that's just my opinion. Great vid anyway, I've been browsing your channel and there's a ton of great content! keep it up

[@jwrecka231]

OK so I just read the very first post and it directly addressed what I said. I understand what you were trying to do in relation to beginners setting up their first system

[@nishitshetty2336]

Just want to know can you we use any speakers with receiver? I already have sony speakers but receiver is outdated.

[@ben380z]

Just recently added a PB-2000 pro to my current setup. To give a brief overview it's a 5.1 channel setup: All 5 speakers are 6.5" in-ceiling speakers hooked up to an Onkyo NR-646 receiver. I don't have a dedicated theater room so I'm using my living room over now. The front 3 in-ceiling speaker crossovers set to 80 Hz with the 2 rear surrounds at 100 Hz. When I initially performed the mic setup the AVR sub db trim came back at -1 db.... I've been doing some reading and I saw where it needs to be lower and enable "room gain compensation"?? In regards to room gain my sub has a setting within the app with the freqs at either 25, 31, pr 41 hz. Can someone please elaborate and recommend what settings would be best for my set up not just on the sub but the speakers also.

I have just purchased the Denon avr s910w 7.2, rp klipsch 404c, two klipsch rp-4000f, and two klipsch 12 inch subs. My question is, can I have this set up for now, and work my way up to 7.2?

[@PhillyDjHook]

You should review the Vizio Soundbar. Vizio sb3651-e6 model. The sb3651-e6 means sb=soundbar 36=36 inches soundbar 51=5.1 DTS surround sound e6=6 edition. For people who can't afford what you got or don't have enough room. This little thing is very powerful. And sounds more powerful than my expensive Denon receiver with 7.2 Definitive speakers that I have in my living room. Only $228.00 for the whole thing. It sounds really good.

Great videos! I have a question and hope you can reply! I am building a house and am trying to set up my home entertainment speaker system. The electricians are no good at helping answer any of my questions. I am new to this but I wanted to ask for your help/opinion. they are offering: 5.1 Pre-wire | (5) 16-2 speaker drops boxed with blank plate + (1) RG6 drop and duplex outlet for subwoofer. They also have options for in ceiling and in wall speakers that they can install and they only offer Klipsch brands (in ceiling options are Klipsch DS-160CDT, PRO-16-RC, PRO-160-RPC, DS-180CDT, PRO-18-RC, Klipsch PRO-180-RP; in wall options are Klipsch DS-160W and PRO-16-RW). - I am planning to get a large 4k TV which i will mount. I was wondering if I am able to do front center and left speakers are in wall mounted speakers (one of the two in wall choices above) and the surround left and right as in ceiling speakers near my couch where i sit (room is 12 x 17). Is this doable/a good option if I want the experience of over head sound as well as ear level sound from the front speakers and and to avoid being very close to the wall speakers near me couch? - Would you recommend getting a receiver with this configuration of in wall/in ceiling speakers? I am assuming in the prewiring they would have many HDMI cables that I could attach to the receiver as well as cables to attach speakers to receiver. - I am assuming the subwoofer isnt included here and I would also purchase that separately. I am unsure if this rg6 is a cable that can attach to most subwoofers..? Let me know what you thing! Really appreciate anyone's input!
