Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum, but I have been doing a lot of research for building my dedicated home theater in my basement.
Im really excited that this forum exists and wanted to thank the mods for keeping this running. I'm sure it will be extremely useful as I go through the development procedure.
I was also hoping to get some help in firming up ideas for my theater.
Specifications:
Dedicated section of basement - 16'6"L x 11' W x 9' H (without sheetrock)
Current walls on two sides and floor are all poured concrete
$12,000 budget for entire room
Ceiling mounted projector
Minimal sound transfer to above rooms
Average sound transfer to rest of basement is acceptable
Developmental plans:
Floor - Owens Corning Quietzone Acoustic Floormat with dual plywood covering, the furthest back couch will be on a raised floor to see above the seats in front of them
Ceiling - Owens Corning Quietzone Noise Control Batts with drywall
Walls - Wood framing with drywall
Doors - Solid core
Questions:
Is my budget enough?
Should I insulate the walls facing the rest of the basement for better acoustics?
Should I insulate the walls next to the concrete walls for better acoustics?
Is there anything else I should/could do to make the acoustics better for the room?
What thickness drywall should I use?
Thanks in advance!
