I didn't see my room with any white plaster dust falling down. If it does, perhaps is worth to redo it as the plaster ceiling might not be done properly. Can share where you going to place the bass trap ?

Wanting to have my own HT room. Have no skill to put it together and so will most likely engage a contractor (carpenter?) to build it for me.
Before that, I need to design one first. Appreciate the design basics for a HT room, the must have and the must not do pointers.
Many thanks.

First of all the room dimension. Secondly, the best is the room had no windows. Thirdly, the door of the room must be solid door so that it won't vibrate. Since you have been in this part of the forum, you will be aware of the plaster ceiling problem. Next will be power point. Make sure you have enough of power point which is directly connected to the main power. This is necessary when you have equipment that takes up a lot of power. You do not want to have any power trip because of this. After that is placement of equipment. You need to think of where and how to place your equipment. Afterwards will be lighting for the room. Most probably you want some lights can be dim and some ambient light. The colour of the room wall will be something to consider as well. This will depend on you are planning for projector or TV. Finally will the furniture and flooring. If you have the budget, wooden floor will be nice. If not full carpet floor will be good.

On power, how much will that be for an average system ? I know it varies from system to system. I thought the main power eqpt in a house will be the air cond. Thinking of moving house. Saw a new house with a basement. Will that be a good HT room choice ? Cheerio.

Yes it will be a good choice. If you can put power point which is suitable for aircond which is 20A. I will suggest 2 sockets on each side of the wall. It is always preferable to connect 1 power cord to 1 power socket. Prepare the socket with high power utilization in mind will ensure your room have sufficient power supply for future expansion. A lot of modern equipment is low energy consumption. In case when you want some pretty high power equipment then is possible all this preparation. For my case, I really regret of not having 20A power socket. At the moment my power supply is already maximum. If use more will cause problem.

My HT room (no treatment) subwoofer SPL at 65dB plaster start to rattles check it out cause by downlight wire pipings, ladder insufficient height to access plaster opening cover so temporary just takeout downlight cover and put dish washer sponges on below of wire pipings it improved SPL to 78dB but extreme LFE bass it will stlll very slight rattle. To eliminate rattles issue the best is to access to the top of the plaster ceiling and laid fiber glass/rockwool foam.

When I built my HT room 3 years ago, I did ask my contractor to lay the rockwool that I purchased on top of my plaster ceiling but they didn't want as they did once for another house before, and accordingly to them it was damn itchy and they decided not to do it for me and asked me to do it myself... ended up I returned the rockwool instead...

And also clear all the rubbish and debris that were left behind by the contractors

Try to check whether the rattling comes from the downlight (if you have).

Try to check whether the rattling comes from the downlight (if you have). Safety first, please ensure switch is off before you open out downlight and reflex cover.
