I’m pretty sure I screwed the pooch on this one but I wanted to fish for some recommendations anyway. Ok, here it is….
My dedicated HT is basically a room within a room. It has staggered stud walls on concrete floor with the ceiling of the theater suspended below the floor above (does that make sense?). Maybe this will help: The ceiling of the theater rests on top of the left and right soffits (2x6s 24” on center). This design basically isolates bass to the theater (goal achieved). However, in the process of isolating bass, I created a monster. My SVS plus vibrates the entire room. Sounds cool right? Wrong! During heavy bass scenes, like the beginning of Master & Commander, my front projector vibrates to the point that it shakes the image and eventually causes the picture to become misaligned with my screen.
20/20 hindsight tells me that I should have connected the projector to the floor above instead of only to the ceiling of the theater. At this point, I’m not willing to cut a 2’ x 2’ hole in my new ceiling to fix the problem. I’ve considered isolating the top plate of the projector mount with an isolation pad (compressed vinyl or something similar).
I’m very open to any other suggestions.
Thanks,
Ian
