So I've been busy. Just not on the car...

Kinda been a little absent this week/end cause we've been moving.

.....next door. Which is really a PITA cause when you're moving a long way well you've typically got enough sense to pack everything up into manageable boxes/etc but when going literally next door well you just make eight thousand trips with as much as you can carry in your hands at once:rollin:

Anyway, I finally got the home theater setup in the living room and redesigned my office in the new room so here's some pics:D



52" LG plasma sitting on above all of my components. You don't even want to know what a wiring nightmare all of that is. Those are Paradigm Monitor 7's for those of you that know anything about speakers.



BIC America Venturi 2-way's for rear's sittin on top of dual 18" subs that I built. Yes, overkill, but they're cool as hell to show off.:giggle:



This is my office which is about as customized as an apartment can be for someone who still desires a good renter reference later lol.



This is an entire 7.1 (5.1 with 4 fronts) system and there is the brains of the operation, the 5.1 receiver running all 6 5.1 inputs straight out of the back of the LF/RF-RS/RS-C/S of the PC. The sub's hiding down there too.



My crown jewel, the 6x3+2x4 L-desk I salvaged for free from a job site. Centered it in the room this time to make a proper sweet spot for the speakers. Swapped the layout too so that I would have more room for the keyboard and mouse on the bigger section. Just no room for everything on the little one.



All 5 front speakers. The big black ones are for 5.1 and the smaller ones above run in sync with them for stereo output. There's the 23" Samsung LED e-bay special too.:D Oh, and yes, that is a plexiglass shelf:hick:



And the surrounds, high and wide. Big ass sound panel too, to help deter front reverb and fake rear sounds. I've got 5 sound panels up in this room and they're still not enough. Music and games sound great but I plan to also use this room for voice over recording and there's still too much reverb in here and it shows up in recordings. I need to get two more the size of this one and I'll be set.


So there's the new place mostly moved in. I'll get pics of the driveway tomorrow:giggle:

That's a heck of a set up you have! The neighbors probably hate you.

Actually these apartments (which are only duplexes) are very well insulated. I have to really blast it to be heard. Its the open-headered Cougar in the driveway that gets to them:giggle:

I forgot to mention the best part is that everything - with the exception of the giant TV - were either free or bought used at half the cost. I'm too broke to afford new stuff like that but stereophilia is another hobby of mine so I know when I've stumbled onto a diamond in the rough and I build a kick-ass system out random stuff. You know... Kinda like how Vinnie builds cars:rollin:
