I need to build a riser in a new home theater going into our house, a 15' wide by 17' deep room, already fully carpeted. Questions:
If I pad and carpet the riser, would a 10" riser do or should I go to 12"?.
I've read threads where guys put insulation under the riser, what's the purpose of this? Would it hurt the carpet?
I am thinking that given the weight of the platform and the chairs, there would be little risk of the thing dancing around, will I need to attach it to the floor or rear and side walls?
Am planning on glueing and screwing, what grade plywood should be used?
Appreciate any and all help, Jerry
