Hey guys, I am looking to convert a rather large room in my house from one large room into two smaller rooms, with one room being a dedicated theater room, and the other room being a dedicated dining room. I am on a tight budget, and could use some advise. First off, I have some options as to...

 Hi all,   I'm building a small addition onto my house.  It's a tiny row house, so nothing too much to write home about.  I want to do some sound proofing.  The new media room will be under the new master bedroom.  I've gotten some amazing advice here already and wanted to ask about the...

He owns everything else in this house, figured better make it his Cinema too: This will be a slow build so don't expect it done in a month like some of BIG's builds!! Two jobs, a puppy and a 5 year old are enough to keep me pretty busy! Details of build: Framing/Drywall/Sound Isloation...

I just bought my first house in February. The house is 4 years old with an unfinished basement with vapor barrier on the walls. The planned theater area from foundation wall to wall is 11'8"W x 19'1"L x 7'9"H. The front and left walls will be set 4" away from the foundation wall....basically up...

Would like input from the experienced and professionals, please. I'm planning my build, hoping to get started in the next couple weeks, but trying to figure out how far I want, or need, to go with sound proofing/isolation and plan for its cost and impact on my overall project. My budget has...

I'm looking for a temporary solution to reduce audio coming from a basement. Would a 20 or 45 minute door provide better acoustic reduction then a regular interior solid door? E.g. are they heavier material?

What should I be looking for in a door? I know I want something unique. I would like 1 3/4" solid wood door (mahogany, walnut, cherry) Something like the following http://www.nicksbuilding.com/IMAGES/WOOD-DOOR-GALLERY/CUSTOM_DOOR_PICTURE3.JPG...

I have a basement below a basement that was specifically built as a theater/ music room. The ceiling is flexcore concrete and ilve already placed a system and subs down there for a test, you cannot hear ANYTHING outside of this room, nothing, sound insulation is not an issue that needs to be...

Would it be worth the time to cut strips of drywall and glue it to the underside of my first level floor between the joists? I really want a drop ceiling (using ceilinglink) but want to get some sound dampening between the 1st floor (dining room) and basement home theater room located...

The soundproofing on my room is almost complete, and I'm wondering what I should realistically be expecting. When I started, I had this acoustic black hole in mind, but as it progressed, I realized that I needed more realistic expectations. With my room closed up, I can start up my pancake...

For sound proofing ability, which one is best: Baltic Birch HDF MDF I found this article: http://whitledgedesigns.com/uploads/CAE_part5_oct08.pdf That says Birch is a lot stronger but MDF is slightly heavier. I googled a bunch and found plenty of people that say MDF has better...

Hi, this is probably one of the stupidest questions of the year for all you English-speaking natives, but to a foreigner it's not 100% clear. When reading instructions for the green glue gun (for use with the bucket), it states to cut the nozzle to a 3/8" bead. What does that mean? Is it the...

Anyone want to take a rough guess and help me with some calculations ?? My Theater will be 34x24, smaller inside though. I am trying to determine the cost of GG + DW + Clips and channel and staggered studs with help weight my options. I know 2x4 is about $2.xx for staggered studs, and I...

I am in the process of constructing about a 900 sq ft apartment in the basement of my 1890 +/- constructed house. I am concerned about noise coming from above due to foot traffic / tv / conversation etc... Right now on the upstairs I have carpet, but I am going to replace it w/ laminate...

I'm trying to build a small soundproof box. Say 1 foot x 1 foot. What's best for locking out sound? Right now I'm thinking of using 1/2" MDF to build the box and then lining it with 2 inches of fabric (burlap)...

Title says it^ Just wondering realistically how much I'm going to spend to build a total theater. Seems like everytime I do do something I buy tons of tools. And for some reason even though my father, myself and brother have basically been doing this for many years it never seems to stop...

My theater and basement construction is taking place. I'm in the process of putting in drywall. My questions is, on the walls that are adjacent to the foundation needing of sound proofing treatment. The framing does not touch the floor joist or concrete walls. My other two walls are 2x 4 studding

Hi, I’m just starting my research into a dedicated home theater. This will be for a new construction of my residential home. The home theater will be on the 1st floor of the home. Two of the four walls will be exterior walls. I’m trying to figure out what construction methods and materials...
