Doesn't mean *all* setups are like this but everyone I've ever used is from the Velodynes to a Polk to an inexpensive Sony sub. https://funkyimg.com/i/2T6Kx.jpg " My JVC home theater system was probably even cheaper than your inexpensive Sony...I'd guess below $300.00 up here so less than 200.00 down there. Still works great though...after more than a dozen years...probably pushing towards 20 years. --- How's the "base" sound? |

Â*It's mainly putting in twice as many 2x4's in the walls (8" centers) so that every other one is offset an inch or so side to side. Â*What that does is allow the sheetrock on on side of the wall to be fastened to 2x4s that are not the same 2x4s that the other side of the walls sheetrock is fastened to. Â*The walls are decoupled, and with some insulation installed in the middle, the sound does not propagate through the wall nearly as much as normal. Â*If you were building a new home and money wasn't an issue, apply the same principle to the floors and ceiling and you have a really quiet media room for both the peeps in there and the rest of the house. Â*Cool concept." Duh! That method of soundproofing has been around for a long time. |

You can't hear any of the midrange or high tones but the sub woof still gets through. I wonder if that double framed wall is any better.. |

Supposed to reduce noise between the units but with the offset framing it might help to use proper soundproofing baffles rather than cheaper fibreglass batts. As for which system is better...I'd probably ask my nephew for the latest info. He has a medium sized drywall and accoustical ceiling company that always seems busy. |

When I was building the stage for the second guitar/music shop I also built a couple of additional rooms, one for storage and the other as a "green" room or practice room. The practice room was on the other side of a recording studio that sometimes got loud. I didn't know enough to de-couple the dividing room studs but I insulated with regular fiberglass and then put this stuff on the studs before hanging the sheetrock. This acoustic barrier material is extremely dense and did a good job of knocking the level of sound that penetrated the wall from the recording studio: http://tinyurl.com/y3cnrxd3 --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

While that method may have been around for a while, the concept of having a home theater, or media room, is fairly new. Other than a few well-off audiophiles in past years, how many have actually used that method of construction for their homes? Certainly no janitors from the Crown Corp have, eh? How is your media room constructed? |

The best sound insulating material for boats has two layers of lead faced foil sandwiched around a layer of foam. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
