This is what I currently have as my substage in the home theater. I am going to redo it soon.
This is the rest of my home theater equipment:
Hitachi CLU-436U1 Big screen TV (10 years and still working fine) ----- Soon to be replaced with a mitsubishi hc3800 projector
Yamaha RX-V663 Receiver
Motorola GI-2000 Cable Box
Philips DVP-5960 Dvd Player ----- Soon to be replaced with my PC
Acoustech HT-85 Center
Acoustech HT-88 Towers
Sony Towers (About 12 years and don't know the model) ----- Soon to be replaced by a custom 3 way that I will build
Venturi DV32 Surrounds
Edead eQ.2 Processor (subsonic filter)
Behringer EP1500 Amplifer
Mach 5 MJ18-M Subwoofer (11 ft^3 tuned to 20hz)
Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Remote

Box is 11 cuft net tuned to 20hz powered by a behringer ep1500. This is one of the first boxes I built lol.

Good day <img src="http://www.homeaudioforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/eek5wavey.gif" class="bbc_emoticon" alt=""> If I was you I would divide the room with a wall ,and it looks like your room set up you could have a full width stage to make a giant enclosure for your sub , get rid of the drink and have the room as a dedicated home theatre . And paint it all black . and that would be a fantastic start. See home theatre on this forum .Home theatre is all about atmosphere , when you walk into a black room with a (painted) screen that is when excitement builds , that is the start of home theatre . The best of luck , and please keep us informed of your progress as as you may gather that we are interested in what you are doing ...............................Alan

this sounds like some excellent advise.

Yup but this area isn't totally a home theater area. The pool table will be moved farthest away from the entertainment area and then a dance floor is going in the middle of the area behind the movie area. When I get my projector, things will be black. But I doubt I can section off the area like I want.

You can section off the area with black curtains on a track that goes across the room . when you want to have HT just pull the certain across.. .................Alan

That was one of the ideas I had. I would have to wait for the projector to come into play first.

And I may be replacing the MJ18-M with an AA Avalanche 18". A new box will be made if that is the case depending on if I have any other boxes to do or not.

The AA Avalanches are awesome. I had a buddy who had a single 12 and it was killer. I've heard lots of great things about mach 5 though, but never had the pleasure of hearing any.

My next sub project is going to be a pair of ShivaX2s in an IB installation. I already got the OK by the wife to cut a big hole in the ceiling... after that it should be easy to get her to agree to let me put a projector in...

I had the money for a projector but I decided to put in my car instead. I bought full coilover suspension. So now I gotta start saving again.

At first glance, that reads like you put the projector in the car.
