If you love going to commercial theaters, you’ll love having your own. You’ll get all the perks of a large display and immersive audio plus fewer annoyances like sticky floors, crowds, and people that talk through the movie.

What Your Home Theater Needs

Top-quality speakers are a must to enjoy the benefits that home theater installation has to offer. Typically, home theaters have two speakers in front, two in back, one in the center, and surround sound. Where these speakers are placed depends on the size and shape of the room, as well as seating arrangements. If you plan to have large, reclining seats like a traditional theater, the space they occupy will take special consideration so everyone has equal viewing of the screen and access to sound. 

The speakers will be connected to a video input and display device, which will require a central hub with a high-quality receiver and amplifier. Sound a bit overwhelming? Don’t worry -- our home theater installation experts can break it down and walk through the process with you.
