Hi All.
Thanks in advance for any help with these questions.
OK, so, after exploring this amazing forum it's my impression that air tight remodel IC cans are recommended for placement in backer boxes. Yet the soundproofingcompany.com instructions for making backer boxes indicate a Halo H99RT which is non-ic. And their diagrams do indicate the placement of insulation in the boxes. Can anyone clarify this for me please?
Also, I have a need for both 6" and 4" cans and could use some guidance on the backer box sizes for each.
I have searched here and found this thread: (i tried to insert a link here to a thread in this forum but it would not let me post a url...if you search the forum for "backer box" it is the 1st thread listed) but I'm not sure if the answer offered is conclusive or even applicable since I am using remodel cans.
The instructions from the soundproofingcompany.com suggest to follow the lighting manufacturers recommendations to determine how large the boxes should be but I can find no such recommendations in the instructions provided with the Utilitech (Lowes) 6" IC remodel cans I just purchased. These cans seem to be the exact same size as the Halo 6" (H7RICT).
Thanks again.
