In Reply to: Back row seating in a home theater posted by mitch4t on May 23, 2008 at 16:18:18:
My HT room is a converted garage with a slope and a approx. 6" step down from the kitchen door. I made the deck flush (almost) with the kitchen floor but the slope made it about 12" by the time I got to the original floor for the first row seating. I wound up making a last minute decision to add a 2nd step between levels. And if you are lazy/practical, you'll want to make the height consistent with "standard" joist heights + height (width) of your decking material and floor cover.One of my many second guesses was NOT building a subwoofer using the deck as an enclosure. But the deck does shake when the (conventional) subs are working so it could have used more vibration dampening. One HT builder suggested sand "filler" could be useful. I did fill the desk spacing with leftover insulation for sound absorption (original floor was tile) but the carpet on top probable handled most of the "ringing".
Correct answer is deck should be high enough so rear seat folks can see display over front seat folks under most viewing conditions.... A quick solution is put your rear seats on "stilts".
