I have been working on my mancave the past few weeks. In doing this I am finding the "KEYS" to my success. First...remember this is for me and my buds to enjoy a place to watch sports and simply veg. So when my wife mentions anything that would take away anything I even remotly might not enjoy having, it's a big fat hell no ....MANCAVE MEANS MANCAVE. For example my friends wife suggested the other day that I should get rid of the "huge" Runco 933 and opt for a 1,000 POS LCD projector. My cousins wife suggested I finish the ceiling so my floor joists are not exposed. And 2 of my wifes friends suggested that I get a lighter color on the walls and put a thick carpet down on the floor and instead of a sectional couch with recliners and opt for some theater chairs to go with the decor of a modern theater.
So.....  ....I am going from a 7 inch CRT to a 9 inch CRT and increasing the size of the unit...Then I will take the ceiling suggestion and finish it off with sports flags of my teams. So yes I will cover the ceiling joists. I will now also paint the room as suggested but with a dark charcoal grey on the walls. Then I will probably stain the concrete floor a dark shade and throw a Oakland Raiders rug in the center. And I am staying with the sectional because I sometimes like to break it up and make one huge 6 person couch. This is more than just a theater, it's my place to veg whether I am reading or watching sports. So what I have learned is listen to the opposite sex and go with their suggestion.....then do the complete opposite and I enjoy. Hey....I do not tell them what to do in the kitchen or sewing room. However in the bedroom, they can tell me all they want and if it is wrong, I can do it all over again.  And in case anyone was wondering.....the men and spouses of the women above all agree with me and claim I am a genious!!!!!

Ive had a few people sugest things here too, like put in a window where my screen is so i can look out at the bush... I can go outside if i want to look at the bush... Why would i want to sit inside and do that?
If your mrs wants to take away sh*t that makes you happy when it has no effect on her, you need to do what i did

Actually, finishing the ceiling and laying down a carpet would help with the audio.
What you should have replied to all of the wives was "I will use all your suggestions, if we can make this a dual purpose room - orgy/home theater."

Ha, you have to be careful with these types of responses. Sometimes the answer is not what you expected......

Sound is great already. But carpet is not what I want. If it chases annoyances....that is my goal.
