sol740 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 So I recently purchased 2 of these rows for my home theater. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/buccaneer-06.jpg A buddy is purchasing my old furniture and will be grabbing it shortly. Before I was using a couple loveseats and a couple chairs, and didn't need tiered seating. Now the rows are going to be directly in front of each other and I'll need a riser for the back row. Here's some of the DIY designs I've seen. http://www.audioholics.com/tweaks/do-it-yourself-diy-topics/multifunction-theater-seat-riser http://www.hometheaterstepbystep.com/Construction/HomeTheaterRiser.aspx http://www.seatsandchairs.com/home-theater-seating-chairs/pc/viewcontent.asp?idpage=6 http://www.ehow.com/how_4899466_build-home-theater-riser.html Now I don't need anything fancy, just a 7-9 inch riser, no steps or rope lighting needed. I don't have any wood tools, nor experience minus an old highschool wood shop class that I continually sucked ass in. I'll be doing the carpet myself, and since the whole room is being redone is theater carpet eventually, I just need the box built. Online I've seen prebuilt risers that range from $300-$600 and come carpeted or painted. I would prefer to pay less, since I think that sounds like a ripoff. If you can do this (or know someone who can), hit me up. What sounds like a fair price (materials will be purchased and ready to go based off of a plan above)? The box I would want would likely be smaller too, since I think 72" deep is far bigger than what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Let me know if you want me to help ya out. Thanks. How many hours do you suppose such a box would take to complete ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPL_Josh Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Building one like the second link. I would say 2-3hrs building it plus how long it takes to stuff the F/G. Once you start getting everything cut it should fall together fast. Also if you need any help with the surround/sub combos I build custom enclosures. A T-line sub enclosure would be a sweet setup for a h/t Edited February 9, 2010 by SPL_Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 My Father can build this as well. Does it need to be installed, or will you do that yourself? Do you want it covered / painted? If so, in what? Does material need to be picked up, or will it be delivered? Does it need to be delivered, or will you pick it up? What physical dimensions do you want? :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No covering required as it will have a sheet over it while I wait for the new carpet to be delivered and installed. Not sure of the exact physical dimensions yet, but I know 100"-105" from side to side and at least 8" tall. Won't know how deep I need it till the units show up and I can arrange them how they will be set up. Pretty sure 60" ought to be fine though.
