Budget:
Here's where things panned out with my budget goals:
Final CAD:
I doubt anyone is chomping at the bit for a CAD drawing of my theater, but I thought I'd throw it online in case anyone wants to check it out. I divided it into two parts:
The Theater:
Individual models I used to create the theater
Final Thoughts:
All in all I'm very happy with the end result. I didn't get the DIYSG's 88 Special front stage I wanted (yet ;) ) and all of the equipment in the theater is admittedly dated / low end, but I figure I've got a decent room to build on if I want to upgrade the individual components in the future.
I learned an enormous amount of information from this subforum in particular but even after all I've learned I'm still humbled and wow'd at how little I know every time I visit.
I appreciate all the people that took the time to help me in this thread and I also thank the people that took the time to document their builds because without that kind of information, this theater wouldn't have happened.
