Basement Home Theater Speaker Systems
by Peter Selby
Building a basement home theater speaker system is a great way to add value and appeal to your home. It is a great way to spend time with your family. And also a great way to make an otherwise utilitarian part of your home more livable.
I had never considered how much time my family would spend in our basement until the theater room was finished. Now I can not imagine our home without this space. I also built my office into a corner of our basement home theater to have an additional amount of privacy from the regular traffic of the house.
But, do not forget some all important basics before beginning your project: Safety first!
1. Fire Exits: Make absolutely sure that you have an egress plan or escape plan prior to performing a home theater build or remodel.
2. Smoke Alarms: Many homes, especially older homes: may not have adequate smoke alarms in the basement. Make sure your home theater experience is a good one. Make careful decisions if you decide to build your own home theater.
Some equipment can become quite hot or even malfunction in special cases so make sure you functioning smoke alarms to let you know.
3. Sump pumps and Drain check valves: If you have a sump pump make sure to install a battery backup system prior to starting to build a home theater. If your theater equipment is expensive this is a must have. As a rule, if you cannot afford to lose it and start over make sure you do not have to. If your basement has a city drain you will want to install a one-way check valve on the drain. This keeps water from flowing backward into your home. Sometimes sewer drains flood -You do not want sewage and drain water backing up into the house. Check with your local zoning office to ensure that you know of all possible drains exiting the house. I have heard of sewage backups filling entire theaters because a drain location was missed. On that note, if you must install the check valve buy the highest quality you can find. Also, while the ground is open: Install two check valves- one in front of the other for extra security.
4. Flood Insurance: Before beginning your theater make sure you speak with your homeowner's insurance agent. Most policies have a fairly low cap on flood damage to household goods -especially items located in the basement. They probably will not cover your expensive audio/ video equipment and home theatre speakers.
5. Radon Detectors: Install a few of these, they are cheap.
6. Air circulation: One of the things that cause radon in basements is stagnant air. If the air is not moving and cycling fresh air into the basement home theater stagnant air can result.
7. Dehumidifier: If your basement has a damp air feel, you may need to pull the moisture out of the air. A dehumidifier will do this quite well. Your local Lowe's or Home Depot will have a nice selection of these. It would not be fun to buy replacement speakers because of damp air permeating your speaker cabinets.
Combine all of these elements into your home theater plan before making that first cut on a 2 by 4. It will be money well spent and you will have the satisfaction of knowing you did it right the first time.
