What We Build
Every Home Theater Project Is Different. That's the Point.
We don't have a standard package. We design each system around the specific room, the specific client, and how the family actually lives. That starts with a conversation — not a quote sheet.
Dedicated Theater Rooms
Full room builds — projection, fixed or motorized screens, tiered seating, in-wall surround sound, acoustic panels, LED accent lighting. We handle everything from pre-wire through final calibration.
Media Rooms
Converting an existing space into a serious viewing room. Large-screen display or projector, sound system, blackout window treatments, seating — without needing dedicated construction.
Projection Systems
Epson, JVC, Sony, BenQ — matched to your room's throw distance, ambient light, and resolution needs. Screen Innovations, Elite, and Stewart screens in fixed-frame, motorized, and acoustically transparent options.
Surround Sound
5.1, 7.1, Dolby Atmos — designed and placed for the actual room, not plugged in and left at default. In-wall, in-ceiling, and on-wall speaker installations.
Custom Seating & Platforms
Raised platforms, tiered layouts, custom leather recliners. We coordinate with the builder or installer and spec the seating to match the screen sight lines.
New Construction Pre-Wire
Pre-wire through trim-out for new builds. We work with builders and homeowners from rough-in through the final homeowner walkthrough.

What Clients Say
"I've been a customer of KZ Audio for going on a decade. Kelly and crew have always been great to work with. They're honest and will recommend what actually works for your situation rather than upselling you on equipment you don't need."

"KZ Audio and Video did a great job installing our home theater system. They were professional, on time, and their attention to detail was outstanding."
How It Works
From First Call to Final Calibration
Consultation
We talk through the room, the use case, and the budget. No pressure, no sales pitch — just figuring out what makes sense.
Design & Quote
We spec the system — equipment, layout, wire runs, seating dimensions — and give you an itemized quote with no surprises.
Installation
Kelly, Billy, and Julian do the work. Pre-wire if the home is under construction. Trim-out and full install on finished spaces.
Calibration & Handoff
We calibrate the system, walk you through every function, and stay available after. We're not gone the day the job is done.
Home Theater Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
Most dedicated home theater projects in San Antonio range from $15,000 to $80,000 depending on room size, equipment tier, seating, and acoustic treatment. A well-equipped media room (existing space, no construction) typically starts around $8,000–$15,000. A true dedicated theater with custom seating, a raised platform, and premium projection usually falls in the $30,000–$60,000 range. We provide detailed, itemized quotes at no charge — no pressure, no guessing.
Yes — new construction is a significant part of what we do. We work directly with custom home builders across San Antonio and the Hill Country on pre-wire, rough-in, trim-out, programming, and homeowner walkthroughs. We also work with homeowners who are building and want an independent AV contractor rather than going through the builder's preferred vendor.
We work with a wide range of projection brands — Epson, JVC, Sony, BenQ — and match the projector to the room's throw distance, ambient light conditions, and resolution goals. For screens, we install Screen Innovations, Elite Screens, and Stewart Filmscreen fixed-frame, motorized, and acoustically transparent options. We don't push one brand — we recommend what actually fits the room.
Never. Every job is done by Kelly, Billy, or Julian — the three people on this team. We don't bring in outside labor. That's not a marketing line; it's how we've operated since 2001. It means consistent quality, accountability on every install, and a direct line to the people who actually did the work.
A media room conversion in an existing finished space typically takes one to three days. A full dedicated theater — pre-wire, custom construction coordination, trim-out, and calibration — is usually spread across multiple visits over a few weeks, working around the construction schedule. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the consultation.
Yes. We work on systems we didn't build. If something's acting up — calibration is off, the system won't talk to each other, equipment failed — give us a call. We'll tell you if it's fixable and what it takes.
