[My bedroom cinema:

A/V Receiver

Media Player
Subwoofer system (Amp4V2 and DIY subwoofer speakers)

My TV (Full HD 42" AVision AL69)
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/SAM_1265.jpg)

My Living Room Audio/Videoke setup:

Panasonic 32" LCD TV, vintage Wharfedale Valdus 400 (sensitivity 93db)
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/IMG_0103.jpg)

NAD C 515BEE cd player, Marantz ST521 am/fm tuner and NAD 3100 Power Envelope Integrated Amp
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/IMG_0104.jpg)

Pensonic MIDI 20K-863 videoke player.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/IMG_0105.jpg)

I consolidated them now in my basement after cleaning it of unwanted/excess stuff (garbage).

The entertainment stand was only DIYed by me.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/P1000035_zpsa23d9a6a.jpg) (http://s24.photobucket.com/user/juneaki/media/P1000035_zpsa23d9a6a.jpg.html)

I used curtains to help diffuse sound.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/P1000036_zps279788bb.jpg) (http://s24.photobucket.com/user/juneaki/media/P1000036_zps279788bb.jpg.html)

Instead of buying new sofa set (walang pambili ;D), i just reused the old ones stocked in the basement.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/P1000037_zpsb2a56f71.jpg) (http://s24.photobucket.com/user/juneaki/media/P1000037_zpsb2a56f71.jpg.html)

Here are my new audio and A/V gears (all bought from 2nd hand market of PinoyDVD ;D)

Onkyo 606, Samsung Bluray player, and Astone multi-media player with 2tb inside and 1tb wd external hard drive
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/P1000042_zps95baacf6.jpg) (http://s24.photobucket.com/user/juneaki/media/P1000042_zps95baacf6.jpg.html)

Yaqin MC10T integrated tube amp, Marantz Cd 6002, Pensonic videoke player and Infinity center speaker
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/P1000041_zpsd524bbe4.jpg) (http://s24.photobucket.com/user/juneaki/media/P1000041_zpsd524bbe4.jpg.html)

DIY Beyma full range speaker for the tube amp, Mission M72 (fronts) and Mission M71 (surrounds), both with DIY stand.
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/P1000039_zps0d9e5e35.jpg) (http://s24.photobucket.com/user/juneaki/media/P1000039_zps0d9e5e35.jpg.html)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/P1000040_zps7815cf6d.jpg) (http://s24.photobucket.com/user/juneaki/media/P1000040_zps7815cf6d.jpg.html)

(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/P1000038_zps4b6f29b5.jpg) (http://s24.photobucket.com/user/juneaki/media/P1000038_zps4b6f29b5.jpg.html)

Wala rin akong pambili ng carpet kaya nag-DIY na rin lang using available materials at home. I found an old carpet and used it to cover an old foamed bedsheet (to also help diffuse sound and tame bass). I also used some old carpet tiles to cover half of the area.(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/juneaki/P1000045_zpsc1c2e29f.jpg) (http://s24.photobucket.com/user/juneaki/media/P1000045_zpsc1c2e29f.jpg.html)

BTW, behind the curtains are still some old stuff ;D ;D

Temporary pa lang kasi ang setup ko. I'm contemplating on arranging my basement to give way to a more permanent and dedicated HT center. Pero ipon muna para sa renovation. ;D ;D But the suggestion is well taken. Thanks.

Post by: juneaki on Jun 28, 2013 at 01:33 PM: Naglinis ako ng basement last week at ng matanggal ang mga unwanted basura, malaking space ang na-save ko (about 4mX5m). I thought to convert it to a DIY HT/Audio den and consolidate all my HT/audio gears in one place. I'm now in the process of DIYing/conversion.

This thread will soon be named "My Cheap Basement HT/Audio Den". ;D ;D Pics will be posted soon.

Salamat mga bros at na-appreciate nyo ang DIY music/AV setup ko. ;D ;D Aside from my setup being practical, you cannot buy the enjoyment of DIYing and the fulfillment of accomplishing something with your own hand the idea your mind created. ;D ;D

All in all, i spent less than Php 6,000 with this endeavor.

Next project ko this Saturday: DIY sofa cover para mas maging presentable naman :D The materials are already part of the Php 6,000 ;D ;D

Tama ka bro, yun talaga ang gusto ko, yung walang distorbo pag nakikinig o nanonood. Dati kasi pag nakikinig ako, bigla lalapit yung anak ko sa amp at papahinaan ang sound. ;D Minsan naman, darating yung mga kaklase at manonood ng dala nilang movie eh nakakalat sila sa sala kaya di ka makadaan. Ngayon pwede na sila sa basement. ;D ;D

What's the new X-over configuration ?

Nice transformation... Congrats sir...!

What's the new X-over configuration ?

Originally, the single 8 ohms 12" woofer was wired directly (no dividing network in between) to the binding post and the tweeter with just a capacitor (forgot the value) in between. In the new setup, I still hooked directly the woofers to the binding post (I like it this way, no sound colorization), except that the two 8 ohms 12" woofers are wired parallel reconfiguring the impedance of the speaker to become 4 ohms. The speakers are now wired to my tube amp's 8 ohms outputs to be safe.
Title: Re: Juneaki's DIY Basement Music and Home Theatre Den
Post by: audiojunkie on Feb 10, 2015 at 06:14 PM: So, the 2 woofer are configured as full range and only the tweeter on high pass x-over. Just wondering sir, how the paralleled woofers (4ohms) back to 8ohms.

I'm not an electronics expert sir. I just read that speakers with lower impedance are safer when connected to the higher impedance output of the tube amp (it is the reverse when it comes to integrated amp). Yun din ang sabi ng friend ko na band guitarist. Speakers nya ay 4 ohms to 8 ohms output of his tube guitar amplifier.

So, my tube fisher int. amp (rated 8-16ohms) can take the vintage philips 4ohms 3way speakers w/o any problem...

Thanks for the info sir...
