bobdog Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I have lurked here for over a decade and never posted much as I had very little to add. I have owned klipsch speakers since 1985 when I received a pair of KG4s as a graduation gift. I now own 2 pairs of Forte IIs, a pair of 78 LaScallas, some RS3 surrounds, and a mint pair of 86 oiled oak Khorns. Last year I purchased a new home and am now remodeling a basement room into the space I have always wanted. The room was set up as a theater when I bought the place but had enough issues for my use that I decided to gut it and optimize it for the Khorns. The room will be a theater but rule number one is that 2channel performance can not be compromised. My plans as of now are to have a Belle or split LaScalla built for a center and use pro Klipsch stuff for the rears. I own a JBL B460 sub of which I will probably build another. The space is 20'X34" The biggest issue was windows in the corners. Light was an issue as this room will have a widescope screen and projector, but the biggest issue was corners for the speakers. I have now filled in the windows at the speaker/screen side of the room leaving one at the other end for a fire exit. It will be blacked out completely though. The speaker wall will be built with studs on 8"centers and heavily braced. The first layer will be 3/4" plywood with green glue and 5/8" drywall. The side walls will use 8" centered studs, 5/8" plywood and GG+drywall for the first 10' then double 5/8" drywall with greenglue in the rest of the room. I would welcome and ideas, criticism , ect anyone has on this project. I will post some pictures, and will do my best to keep the thread updated as I progress.

bobdog Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Starting to install drywall with greenglue between floor joists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdog Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Bumping this up again. Have made some progress and will get a few pics up. Finished drywall and greenglue between the joists. This took way more time than I thought it would. I don't know if it will be worth it or not. I hope so. I have framed in for the rack and put in PVC conduit for wiring. I have almost completed the HVAC work, sealing all ducts. I will be using acoustical flex duct from Casco for the vents in this room hopefully it will reduce noise somewhat. The biggest news is that I have two Danley DTS10 subs on their way. The DIY kit deal is back on and I could not resist. To use them I am planning to build a new screen wall 2 feet out from the current one, place the DTS10s behind it or actually build them into the wall and have them fire out of grill covered holes in the wall.
