I've confused myself (not that difficult a thing to do). Summary of where I'm at:
Currently building new home. Home theater will be on first floor below one son's bedroom. Going to build a room within a room. Plan on floating the inner floor using u-boats.
Some of the things I've read said that I should build the inner floor with joists at 12" and then run stringers between them. Helps stiffen the floor to reduce vibration. Seems to make sense.
But, one of the things I don't like about my current home theater is the bass level. I have good speakers (Def Tech BP2002 with powered subs). I always thought that it was because the speakers sat on a concrete slab. The new theater would have a wood floor and better bass transfer? In fact I was thinking about adding bass shakers to the raised floor section. But then all this goes against trying to stiffen the floor and reduce vibration to the bedroom upstairs.
Is the floor/HT room structure where you typically get some of the bass response from? Or should the subwoofer be moving air only? Why doesn't it seem to work now?
Thanks. Bill
