A real home theater is a room built for immersive audio and video — surround sound calibrated for the seating positions, projector or large-format display tuned for the room, and acoustic treatment where it matters. RG Real Tech designs and installs dedicated theater rooms across Derry, Salem, Methuen, Manchester, Nashua, and Lawrence.

Finished basements, media rooms, bonus rooms over the garage, and converted spaces all work — and each one throws different acoustic and layout challenges. We plan the speaker layout, the projector throw distance, and the screen size for the specific room, then install 5.1, 7.1, or Dolby Atmos systems with in-wall or in-ceiling speakers that disappear into the space.

Source equipment integration (Apple TV, Blu-ray, receiver, streaming), acoustic calibration, and a full walk-through of the system are included. Whether you're starting from an empty basement or upgrading an existing room, we deliver a theater that sounds and looks right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos?

5.1 is five speakers (front left/right, center, two surrounds) plus a subwoofer — the classic surround setup. 7.1 adds two rear surrounds for better envelopment. Dolby Atmos adds overhead speakers (in-ceiling or upward-firing) for true 3D audio with height. We recommend the right config for your room size and budget while reviewing your online estimate.

Do you install home theaters in finished basements?

Yes — finished basements are some of our most common theater builds. We plan around the room's existing construction (drop ceiling, open joists, finished walls), run speaker wire and low-voltage cabling cleanly, and mount the projector and screen for the right throw distance to your seating.

What about acoustic treatment?

Basic calibration (speaker levels, subwoofer crossover, room correction) is included on every install. Full acoustic treatment — absorption panels, bass traps, diffusion — is a separate scope. We recommend it for dedicated theater rooms where the goal is reference-quality audio, and we can quote it during the design call.

Can you wire existing in-wall or in-ceiling speakers?

Yes — if you moved into a home with pre-wired speakers and they've never been connected, we trace the runs, terminate them at a receiver or amplifier, label everything, and configure the system so they actually work. Common in newer construction and basements that were pre-wired but never finished.

Answers cover our online estimate process and services. Project-specific details are reviewed with your estimate.

How much will my project cost?

The online estimate is free. Installation pricing depends on the equipment, quantities, access, wiring, and project scope. Describe your project to receive a proposed scope and estimated total. RG Real Tech reviews the details and confirms or revises pricing before work is scheduled or performed.

Do you serve my area?

RG Real Tech is based in Derry, New Hampshire and serves projects in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Enter your project address in the estimate form so we can review service availability for your location. Travel and scheduling depend on the project.

What projects can I request?

Request help with TV mounting, security camera systems, wired and wireless networks, structured cabling, smart home integration, and home or commercial AV. Tell us what you want the finished system to do, even if you do not know which equipment you need.

Can I use equipment I already own?

Include the make, model, quantities, and any mounts or cables you already have. We will review compatibility and identify any additional parts in the proposed scope. Equipment suitability is confirmed for your project.

What details should I include?

Describe the job, equipment models and quantities, room or building type, mounting surfaces, and any wiring needs. Mention what is already installed and your preferred timing. The estimator asks relevant follow-up questions; choose Not sure when you do not know an answer.

Can I handle this online instead of calling?

Yes. Start your estimate online and choose email follow-up. You can also request text or a phone call if you prefer. Your contact preference is included with your project request so we can address questions in writing.

How do booking and timing work?

Describe your project, answer the relevant questions, and review the estimate. If you want to move forward, accept the proposed scope and request an available time. Your appointment and final scope require confirmation; a requested date is not a guaranteed booking.

What about warranties and support?

Ask us to include applicable workmanship coverage and equipment warranty details in your written scope. Coverage depends on the equipment and work provided. Manufacturer warranty terms and any ongoing support should be confirmed before you approve the project.
