Ok, so last summer i sorta threw together an outdoor set up and had a blast with friends on the weekends. Next summer, I want to do this right..
Pretty much last summer I built a quick screen out of wood i found around the house and a painters tarp, it got destroyed by the end of the summer by rain and storms lol it was pretty big lol.. I used a 2500 lumen projector (sharp notevision c45x) and my crappy logitech speakers from my computer. I gotta say, it was great
Next summer, as i said, I want to do it right.
Heres what i need to do.
Build a screen to 16:9 aspect ratio that can easily disassembled. The disassembly and reassembly is key.
Buy a new projector.. needs to be atleast 2500+ lumens
Buy an audio system.. i want a powerful sub lol, i want to make the trees shake. Nice reciever. I do NOT need surround sound.. i had enough friends trip over the wires i had out last year.
As for the HTPC i already got that. Dimension 9100 with a nice tuner etc.
if any of you guys have some ideas, i'm open to all suggestions. For a screen, i was thinking a painters tarp again, but building it out of PVC pipe. I would like to have the screen lifted off the ground a bit, last year it went all the way to the ground and i think it'd look a little nicer raised..
Heres a pic of last years..
and here is a comparison of how i want it to be next year..
again, i'm open to all ideas suggestions. I know A LOT about projectors, but not much about audio.. so if you give me a little more help with that i'd appriciate it.
