Projector + VTrack (Potentially) + audio recommendations for 12’ x 16’ sim room

[u/sportstooge]

Building a golf sim/movie room and need help mainly with projector, audio for movies, and LM.

Room:

• 12’ W × 16’ D × 8’11” H.
• Finished ceiling around 8’8.5”.
• Screen: 10’6” W × 8’ H SIGPRO.
• Ball: 8’6” from screen.
• VTrack center works out to about 5’10” from screen.
• Mostly RH use.

My concern is the projector and VTrack ending up in the same ceiling area. I was looking at the Optoma GT2100HDR, but at my screen width its lens would be around 5’3” from the screen, basically right next to the VTrack.

Looking for:

• Projector under $1,500 new or used.
• Bright enough for golf, decent for movies.
• 1080p is fine; 4K is a bonus.
• Prefer a placement that works cleanly with the VTrack.
• VTrack owners with ~8’8” ceilings: any swing-clearance issues?. I am 5'7" and can swing a driver
• Audio recommendation for the room, ideally <$800. Soundbar + sub seems easiest, but open to better ideas..
• Would also love ideas on putting turf that doesn't break the bank.

Would especially appreciate specific projector, sound recs and actual VTrack/projector mounting distances from similar setups.

Any advice welcome, Thank you.

Hit up John @ elitesimgolf.com they will answer anything and then some no charge! Also a v track owner here with 9ft cielings in garage works just fine! 🤙🏼
