My new home theater was framed out and set up in my basement. The seperate room is 10 X 20 and the room is basically air tight. No windows, 2 solid core doors (1 1/2 inches thick each), and each door has a 3/4 inch door of MDF glued and screwed to it, with a layer of green glue sandwiched in between. (these doors weigh like 200 pounds each, and the whole house shakes upstairs when someone even slams one of these doors the slightest bit!) Anyway, the ceiling is only 6 feet 9 inches fom the floor, and is constructed of 2, 1/2 inch pieces of sheetrock screwed together with a layer of green glue in between. All of the walls are basically the same as the ceiling. There are 6 recessed light cans installed in the ceiling (short cans because of height resrtictions. The floor is brand new wall to wall carpet and its decently thick with a layer of foam underneath it, and it all sits on top of a concrete slab. My sub sits in the rear left corner of the room, and the bass seems pretty good overall, but something tells me it could be better. Do I need Bass traps? Also, the sub must stay where it is. Putting it up front would cause way too much traffic up there, and really throw off everything. I know that sounds a bit ridiculous, but it's true.
Any suggestions? Thanks all! Joe B.
