    Insulation Against Concrete Walls

    Got it. Thanks again for all the help. Given that my sub will be firing down one of the walls against the concrete, is leaving the 1 inch gap okay? I worry it will resonate in the open 1 inch cavity. Should I use the water barrier method instead? Again, these concepts are new to me so I...

    Insulation Against Concrete Walls

    I am not sure what you mean by "exterior". The basement is dug out of the ground so the only thing on the other sides of the concrete is dirt. I know I am probably missing the point. I am framing it with friends so it would be easy to do what you suggest, but I am unclear on the need. Graham

    Edwin, I have a Toshiba 1600 (yes, yes, I know it is an old model) and suffered from the pixelization you alluded to in your post. It happened on the scene where Danny takes Evelyn up in the plane - Chapter 16 I think. Pixelized and then froze up completely. I have not been through the other...

    SVS Subs in Rooms with Concrete Floors?

    I am currently in the construction phase for my dedicated home theater in my basement. As I live in the Midwest, the basement floor is concrete as are three of the four walls. Based upon the outstanding reviews on the various home theater sites, I had decided to purchase either a SVS 30-39CS...
