Backyard Home Theatre

[AlienCraft]

been awhile....
I'm thinking my JBL Eons would make great HT speakers, but outside on the lawn.
What would you use to process audio and play / project.

< Bored and under "medication"...

err, projector, home made screen, move your speakers out with long speaker cables or outdoor speakers?

I've seen blow up screens listed at Walmart (I think).

You could just get an all in one projector system that has built in speaker.

Well,I'm looking for suggestions for that projector.
A sheet or White wall for a screen exactly.
I want to be able to really crank it up.

your neighbours might not appreciate you cranking it up though. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

You should look at a higher lumen output model. It is your choice whether you stick with HT projector or go with data projector. Data projector tend to output more light than HT ones, but HT ones are better with colour fidelity.

since you are going to big size more than colour fidelity, I think data projector is what you want.

Your neighbors are going to hate you. The bottles of piss thrown over the fence kind of hate.

The smart thing is to invite them over :awe:

Good luck getting enough bass. Perhaps you should construct a massive bass horn. Or build your outdoor theater IN the bass horn. Hehehe...
