Currently installing a home theatre in my basement. I have already insulated the whole basement floor. I'm currently putting a drop ceiling in my basement and was wondering if its cost effective to use the more expensive ceiling tiles. Considering using the USG tiles which are about 4 times more money than the tiles at home depot. Will I be able to know the difference when my wife is up stairs and I'm running my speakers in the basement.
Also I would like to paint my ceiling tiles black. Will this ruin the sound proofing of the ceiling tile?
Any help would be appreciated....
