Make sure you have a vapor barier between the concrete walls and stud walls (especially if you want to insulate). If you don't, you'll have serious moisture and mold problems down the line. As for electric, you can wire it all yourself....

Quote: Any true electricians, correct me if I'm wrong, but 20 amp circuits are not hotter, they are heaver to safely allow for more current. 110 volts is 110 volts whether it's traveling across a 15 amp or 100 amp circuit. It...

No single component will draw more than 15 amps. They won't even come close. The only thing that draws high current is a power amp. They may spike when they are first switched on, but you won't see too many that draw more than 7-8 amps....

Quote: Noa Tishby Thanks. I was wondering where I saw her. Nip/Tuck. I also agree that the things they do with the security system is really becoming laughable. Taking away a limp? Come on!

Anyone know who the female guest star was last night? She looked really familiar and I missed the credits.

Check this out. Its not cheap, but looks fantastic and has great absorption qualities.

You're not really going to block all low frequency sound, but if you have the clearance, you can try using resilient channel on the walls with another layer of drywall attached to it. The air space between the drywall will help trap...

I definitely recommend a whole house audio system. You not want to keep the other rooms seperate from the main listening area (livingroom). Most receivers have A/B speaker outputs. The A speakers for the primary room with surround sound...

First thing I would do is a continuity test with a ohm meter. This will tell you if the connections are terminated at all. The one that goes towards the roof may just be for a roof-top antenna. The one that goes down is probably the...

You really want to vary the materials in a bass trap, otherwise you'll just catch a small frequency range. Sandwich the fibreglass between some plywood and you'll have a better trap.
