My buddy is setting up a home sports bar and asked me to spec it out and install it (because I have low voltage experience). As happy as I am to help him out, I haven't done a setup like this before.
Here is the nitty gritty...
The room is about 25' x 16'. 2 TVs; One will be a projector and the other 50" LED getting source from 2 Dish Joey boxes and wants to hook an Xbox to one of them. He also has a Firestick he'd like to utilize as well as a Blu-Ray DVD player. For this I assume we will have to use a switch. I was thinking about a True Matrix 4x4. Thoughts? Suggestions?
He wants flush mount speakers, preferably in the ceiling, but in-walls will be acceptable. Free standing speakers are not possible. Since I don't know of any flush-mount speakers that provide solid low freq, I told him he would need a 10"-12" subwoofer. We have a small nook where we can put it. Is that acceptable?
He cares less about volume and more about sound quality, but I know him and there are times he'll want to crank it up. So keep that in mind.
Budget is about $800. I hope I covered all the bases. If not, or if there are additional Q's, please ask. We're going shopping on Friday and would like to have an idea of what I need to buy. Equipment, wires, UPS/surge protector, etc...
Thank you in advance.
