Want to know how to build a home theater on a budget? It takes a little more work, but this is what I did and it saved me thousands. I only spent about an extra $2,000 for the upgrades that I put into the theater design.

1 - Your receiver probably needs to be the most up to date part of your theater. I bought the latest model factory refurbished and it saved me hundreds.
2 - Most quality speakers that sounded amazing 10 years ago, still sound amazing now if they haven't been abused. Outside of really expensive speakers, speaker technology advances little over a decade. Buy used, but not abused.
3 - The screen I got from my brother-in-law used at about 15% of the price of new. Works as good as new. Not quite as big as I would prefer, but it saved me hundreds and it is a quality screen.
4 - A friend did the columns woodwork, but I did all of the staining as well as for the bar and ticket window.
5 - Saved a couple of thousand on the couch. Got it off Facebook Marketplace. It was the EXACT one I saw at the store and coveted, but didn't want to spend that kind of money on. Saved about $2,000 on it. It was a minor miracle.
6 - The custom theater doors I kind of got for free. Did it in trade for a website for their business. The brass "windows" are platers that I purchased from Ikea. Door was blank doors from Lowes as well as the brass handles, kick plates and hinges.
7 - The grill covers and ticket window I designed in Illustrator and then took to a sign shop. They laser cut from a sheet of plastic, which I spray painted the brass color. I think the grill pieces ran me about $35 each and the ticket window was $75.
8 - Starlight ceiling unit was purchased from Amazon. Use Camel Camel Camel to watch pricing, because prices often change regularly.
9 - Don't get caught up in marketing hype. Sometimes what people talk about as must haves, don't always make a significant difference. For example, 8k video sounds interesting, but there are no 8K movies or TV, so don't pay for technology that doesn't give you the full bang for your buck.
