well here's my first attempt at a projector install. I am still going to do something with the mounts to the screen, they look horrid, and upgrade the reciever today, but other then that i'm pleased with the outcome so far.

The dogs slept through most of it.



hanging the screen.






The center junction box was a ceiling fan we took out and used for a power source.




Put an in wall circuit protector in for the power source. gotta do some touch up paint here.


new speakers are soon to come i'm sure..but for now its just a boston acoustics sub/sat system.

since this build, i've moved into an apartment, this set up is now in my bedroom lol. Because the room is much smaller, I only have about an 85 inch screen

I can understand the apartment bit. Before we got our house, we had the HT up in the living room that was as small as some bed rooms. BLEH!

Looks like a clean set up. What receiver did you end up going with?

I think i'm going to get some updated pics on this since I moved it into my apt bedroom

Beautiful Dobie! My favorite dogs period. Mine passed about 2 years ago and I will miss him to death.

Nice setup too!
