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...
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

I sincerely appreciate all the help. Let me try provide some more data and see if I have extracted the best solution.
My entire house is on one, 200 Amp main panel. There are the standard 32 breakers spaces with 27 in use. My basement design, as it exists today, will use another 3 of those...
I am having my basement done in a couple of weeks and will have a dedicated HT. The total basement will have three large rooms and we have four breakers that remain open on the main in the house. The contractor plans to use three: one breaker for each room and leave one open "just in case for...
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...
