The lighting in this room is just next level and truly stands out. Great work on the room and great work on the video Tony.

[@BuildMontage]

Hey brother, thank you. It’s a very cool room.

[@harshavanand3998]

He made me feel Home theatre is truly an engineering masterpiece

[@cheekster777]

Great job, John. 👍🏻 That star ceiling looks *AWESOME!* 🤩 Thanks for sharing your Home Theater journey with us. 🙏🏻

[@kenescobales5920]

[@warrenmullett]

Great room ! And great advice ! Thanks guys !! Love seeing the kids happy enjoying your hard work !!

[@klg642002]

Sir props to you for the honesty. Too many people see a great work and do not understand the time behind the dream. He clearly said take your time and treat it like a hobby. My in living room set up took 10 years lol, but its amazing. 7.2.2 atmos. Just be patient and take steps everyday towards a goal. Congratulations my man, you did a great job!!!!!

[@mitch7983monkey]

Absolutely fantastic build! Thank you for sharing, very inspirational 💪🤎 👍

I have a Dayton SUB1500 and also bass shakers like you. When it's blended well like mine and yours its an incredible experience and you think theres so much more bass than there actually is.

I’ve been a bit obsessed with watching home theater tours for a while now. I’ve found that my preference has changed though. At first I was all about the gear. I wanted to see the cool higher end gear. But, now I’m more into the rooms. Anyone can go out and buy expensive gear if they have the resources, but the room is what really can make it unique and special. So I just want to see something cool and something different. This room is definitely super cool.

[@BuildMontage]

I have made many room tours on my channel - there's a play list dating back for 4 years :)

[@danielwander605]

@@BuildMontage Yea, I’ve probably seen most, if not all, of them. I do like the way you to do it though. Some have a tendency to do long form videos with a lot of discussion. I like the shorter style videos. Then can always do a follow up discussion in another video like you did here.

[@BuildMontage]

Yes, my shorter videos take a lot more work to produce because there is a script involved, so learning about the room and then condensing it into a 8-15 minute video depending is always tricky but I find that format works. This video is only the 3rd one of it's kind on my channel, and even that was heavily edited if you couldn't tell, to cut out any dead space, rambling etc - plus showing b-roll footage overlaid while we spoke - this video took me 3 weeks to edit.

[@EverythingHomeTheater]

My God that room is so cool! The lights on the wall, the programming and $1.50 per foot LEDs are pretty sweet. He did a great job with all those.

[@BuildMontage]

It's a thing of beauty!

[@mfkhometheater7742]

Now that's a seriously cool home theater! Great job!

[@TheCharlesAtoz]

It is amazing.

[@_DST0NE_]

Really incredible theater.

[@renv9231]

Great conversation about an amazing theatre experience, congratulations!

[@BuildMontage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@raphaelmeillat8527]

Great video. Beautiful room, great DIY project for the handy ones! Fully concur about video games rocking the HT room. Explosions in FPS games are giving the subwoofers a workout! One piece of advice on my end based on my own home theater project… don’t bother about 2 extra Atmos speakers. 4 are plenty enough. No incremental value going from 4 to 6 unless your room is huge, which doesn’t seem to be the case. You’re much better off spending your money on an extra subwoofer! Or upgrading your central speaker (the most important one). Just my 2 cents. Enjoy your beautiful room with family and friends!

[@diyhometheater4199]

Yeah, I'm not gonna spend any money any time soon, currently working on an inground pool, DIY of course.

[@donmorton7282]

Great video buddy, very interesting

[@gary4593]

I enjoy watching the video John has very nice cinema room it must sound amazing to watch movies John did a great job bulid his room it is a cridit to John i🎬

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks for watching Gary

[@duduking]

Looking good ❤

[@TorinTPG]

This is THE best star ceiling I've ever seen...wow

[@BuildMontage]

Pretty crazy huh!

[@TorinTPG]

@@BuildMontage I had no idea the amount of work and detail he put into it. Awesome stuff

[@shawnblackmur7887]

Great interview. Nice job on the room John, you give some great advice. I’m planning on starting my theater room and also plan to build about everything except for the chairs 😊

[@diyhometheater4199]

You can do it! A little imagination and some elbow grease will go a long way!

[@lancenguyen9635]

very inspirational

[@jeffjefferson7384]

The tinkering journey is fun. You're not gonna learn everything about kit or acoustics in a week, and people don't talk enough about personal preference with HT. eg. I don't watch movies at reference 85dB, 75dB is plenty loud enough for me.

[@patn9354]

It looks amazing, not quite sure I understand, did he make the Hexagone tiles or did he purchased them? The link for the acoustics tiles are squared foam ones. Thanks!

[@BuildMontage]

He made them himself. It's a long video so maybe you missed that discussion but there should be chapter markers you can check in the video.

[@personperson5410]

Hey mate just waiting and looking forward to the DVD Fab ripping video. Do you know when you are going to be doing this. Thanks, keep up the good work.

[@BuildMontage]

Unfortunately I decided not to make that video after seeking legal advice.

[@outsane1]

I love the look of this theater. Is there a build log on AVS or another forum? I would love to read through the details of the lighting and star ceiling.

[@BuildMontage]

If you join my Discord server there is a full build thread - but you need Discord.

[@davidgaines2269]

​@@BuildMontage How do I join/get the build details?

[@jayluvonde9551]

Ummm... nice t-shirt. And great theatre room!

[@TorinTPG]

Trumpy!!

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks, Matt got me that shirt! @torintpg

[@TorinTPG]

@@BuildMontage I forgot about this shirt, but yes I did! I think there is also a Lego shirt as well??

[@bingdong8571]

If its diy its about 100 times more interesting to be modest.

[@BuildMontage]

Yes it’s all diy

[@GizmoMaltese]

That's a really amzing home theater. I love the star ceiling. The wall panels look really cool but I would turn them off during a movie. The maximum black level a projector can deliver is the black level of the room. So any light at all in the room raises your black level floor. So no point in upgrading your projector for black level if you have LEDs projecting light back on to your screen. It's great to see someone so passionate about Home Theater. I really wish I had a home with more space. I've turned my living room into a home theater.

[@diyhometheater4199]

Yeah I turn them way down or off for movies, the black floor on this projector isn't great. I can put my hand up in the beam and see a shadow easily against an all black screen.

[@adamjj85]

What LED software is he using on those ESP boards? WLED?

[@BuildMontage]

Yes it is WLED

[@diyhometheater4199]

Yup, WLED. IYKYK

[@TorinTPG]

I forgot how stinking cool John's room is! Makes me jealous and make my room look amateur :)

[@BuildMontage]

Don't put your room down mate your room is the most featured room on my channel next to Leos haha!

[@TorinTPG]

@@BuildMontage John’s room is awesome. I hope to see it in person some day

[@diyhometheater4199]

Man your room looks great! Next time you're near Richmond let me know, and you can come have some of my amateur beer 🍺 😁

[@TorinTPG]

@@diyhometheater4199 do you craft your own beer as well??

[@diyhometheater4199]

Yeah, that's why I have the kegerator! I've been brewing for years, it's cheaper and better than store bought

[@mylolcryptotrading6391]

Where on the discord can i find Johns build thread? Very interested in the build details.

[@BuildMontage]

I just hid the thread but I can unhide it. Join and send me a PM

First, baby!

LOL

[@thelonewolf666]

you spend all this money on a theatre and then find out theres no content worth pissing on

[@BuildMontage]

I tend to agree with you about new movies - but there are lots of awesome TV series out there, which is what I personally use my room for.

[@housbinpharteen7445]

I WOULD NEVER MAKE MY GARAGE A HT ..

Okaaaaay.....

[@diyhometheater4199]

Don't worry, I've got a 2 car detached garage as well.
