So you don't worry about sealing the box then? Since the sheetrock is decoupled from the joists and the speakers are mounted to the sheetrock then sealing the box would work against the resilient channel.

Thanks Erik. Paradigm recommends placing 'loose' insulation behind and on either side of the speaker. How do you build 'boxes' for the speaker and what material?

Would the use of resilient channels in the ceiling negatively affect the sound quality of in-ceiling speakers mounted in the same ceiling?

I'm getting ready to start drywalling my theater and want to do some lower cost sound proofing to the ceiling. I was thinking about some fiberglass insulation between the joists and then double drywall. I'm not expecting it to be completely sound proof, but want to make it at least bearable...

That's exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for all the good replies!

Is there such a thing as a 'add-on' remote eye that I could wire outside the cabinet ( say, near the tv ) that would then transmit the signals to the components? The remote would be then be able to 'see' the external eye. I don't know if i'm using the right lingo, but I hope you are...

I have my components in a cabinet with a solid wood door. How can I get my remotes to work without opening the door each time I want to use my HT? I've seen ads for 'remote extenders', but they look they just add distance to the remotes capability?

I'm considering using the new SM-60R's as my surrounds. They would be installed in the ceiling. Any tips or advice with this setup? They are going to be matched to a Mini Monitor / CC370 front setup.

I don't have any extra ones handy right now, but I will try that. thanks.

Ok, I made the connections as recommended above. Cable tv works ( composite ) VCR works ( composite ) DVD and A/V setup menus work ( S-video ) DVD is only black and white ( s-video ) !!!! If I connect the DVD to the receiver using a composite it works too. Any idea why the DVD s-video...

Thanks. I'll try that. How 'bout in-ceiling surround speakers? Anybody use them?I'm considering using one for my back-surround since I don't have a back wall. ( multi-purpose room )

Ok, thanks for the replies. So, it's lowest common denominator? My tv is a JVC 32" with three inputs, the vhf/uhf input, 1 composite and one s-video. I have my cable box connected to the composite and the s-video connected to my new Marantz sr7300ose receiver. I want to be able to use...

Hi All - I'm finishing my basement and have 'reserved' a space for my first Home Theater and have a couple of questions. 1) I just bought my first a/v receiver and am trying to connect my DVD. I have a S-video cable from my monitor out to the tv and I have a component video connection from...
