There are few things more manly than building a home theater. After all, what’s the point of owning extremely manly movies without being able to watch them on an extremely manly TV, paired with an extremely manly audio setup?
Unfortunately, manly jobs like cops, firefighters, and lumberjacks don’t pay terribly well. So, we’re going to talk about how to build a manly home theater on a manly budget for the manly recession. Continue reading
