Garage Conversion


I am just starting to convert my garage into a dedicated 2 channel room with theatre potential using a Level 1+ Rives design. The garage is small, at 19' by 14.5' and ceiling will be 9' in the middle with a lower soffit perimeter. The Rives wave ceiling will float in the 9' region. Most of this will be DIY and will likely take 2-3 months. Currently I am just clearing out the space.

Anyways, I am looking for helpful suggestions on the construction from those who have gone through this before. I am trying to set a reasonable construction budget that allows for further improvements over time.

At the moment I am focusing on the power side of the equation. I have considered a separate panel, and/or perhaps an Equitech Transfer (2QB) to supply most or all of the equipment. Has anyone tried the VHaudio cryo'd romex? Seems a little crazy - is it worth it? All suggestions are most welcome. Thanks.

My advice is to get a Building Permit. Garage conversion from non-habitable to habitable space can get tricky. Code requirements differ based on the use of an area/room.
