Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what I should do to make this. I have the 1080UB on a rear shelf.

How far is the rear shelf from you??

It is about 4 or 5 feet above our heads. I'd like to get the projector as quiet as possible, with keeping it in high lamp mode. It seems like a hush box is the best option.

Advice I was given was to make it long enough to have 6" in front of the projector if possible.

I would think that you would want to have the projector pushed as close to the front of the box as possible, so the light can easily pass through the opening. I guess you would want space in front for the air to vent though...

I'm in a similar situation (room and projector setup wise) and I'd be interested in hearing people's recommendation on a hush box since fan and iris noise are currently my only issues with this projector.

That 6" lip holds sound in a bit more I guess.
Also make it tall and wide enough to have air flow and on the top you could put sound absorbing material.
