Gents,
I plan on installing a home theatre in a newly constructed 3 story 4,800 sq ft home made of steal and concrete located in Cozumel, Mexico!! The home was not designed/prewired for sound or network access... and did I mention the walls are all steal and concrete!!... It will consist of 6 bedrooms, a dedicated HT room, and roof access for entertaining guests. It would be ideal to have sound in all locations of the home, including outside around the pool and roof areas. I hope to complete this project by one trip out of the country.

I've enjoyed the support from this forums knowledge base, and I call on it once again to help in formualing a plan to install a mulit-zone HT with out the advantage of pre-design/construction access to the walls and floors. Your thoughts are appreciated in advance!!

Which, brings up the point!!... has anyone had experience with setting up wireless speakers?... or... am I barking up the wrong tree???....

    I never heard a wireless speaker I liked. Maybe someday.

    With steel and concrete as your overiding design, conduit running all over the place sounds like the order of the day. Call it the Exoskeleton Theater.

    I do hope you aren't going to leave the interior walls exposed concrete, are you? The echoes will kill...

    When you finish the interior, allow space. 3/4" furring strips attached to the walls to hold the sheet rock will give you plenty of room. Slot the backside to give you a wire chase.

    And invest in a rotary hammer drill. I have a Bosch Bulldog...
