Heco 5.1.2 Premium Home Theater Showcase

Watch our latest video featuring a near-field home theater that we recently installed in a relatively compact bonus room. While we have many home theater showcases, the majority of them cover homes with dedicated theater rooms. The reality is that many people don’t have that kind of extra space available, but still want to create a cinematic experience in their homes. In this video, we’re going to show you how you can put a terrific theater in a more compact space, such as a bonus room, living room, or larger bedroom. Check out the overview where we look at what the space looked like before we started installing, a full time-lapse of the install, and then a demo of a few clips to see how well it performs.

DIY Home Theater AV Receiver Rack Best Practices

One of the best ways to house your gear is in a commercial-like equipment rack. These types of racks have been used for decades in data centers, studios, concert halls, and high performance home theaters. We like them because they are very easy to service and make changing things out as you upgrade super simple.

JBL Synthesis Monster Home Theater with 18' Screen, 18 Seats and Five 18" Subs

When we were approached by a long-time customer in 2017 about building an ultimate home theater, we knew this was going to be a fun project. The client had a small theater we installed in 2010 and had upgraded a couple of times. The couple was building a new garage and wanted to make the room above the garage a state-of-the-art theater with as big a screen as possible. Seating for up to 18 people was also on their wish list. They wanted to try and re-use some of their current gear in the new system. We took them to hear a JBL Synthesis home theater system we had recently completed in a large room and after that, there was no question, they wanted a JBL Synthesis system!
