Setting up a movie room in unfinished basement


I am thinking of setting up a home theater room in basement. It is unfinished - cement floor/wall and the ceiling is not covered. My system is Yamaha RX-V3000 and Klipsch KLF-20, KLF-7 and KSP S6. I will have a projector and screen. The room size is about 15x20x7.
I am seeking your advice for treating the room in very economical way, but still I would like to make it comfortable looking.
I know I should start with budget, but I basically have no clue. I would definitely not spend over $5000 including all expenses.
I would appreciate your input.

You need to make a list of what you want in the room. Measure the room and apply some unit prices for labor and material. Drywall, insulation, carpet, paint, doors, trim, electrical wiring, electrical boxes, Lighting etc. If you can do a lot of the work yourself you can save a lot of money. Check Home Depot for prices on the items you need. Some of the work you might have to hire out such as electrical. I would look for a handiman to do the work that you are not capable of doing. Take a little time to do your homework and you might be supprised.

Good Luck.
