    Starting help-purpose if insulation????

    Hey,
    Her is my question, I am building a new HT starting at zero. I don't care about sound in escaping into the rest of the house, so which if any of these thigs are not needed? Thanks

    1) raised floor with insulation.

    2) insulation over concrete walls under drywall. (or is v-math a bad thing?)

    3) insulation in ceiling.

    4) solid core doors.

    Any help would be great.

    I really want to spend wisely...

      Brac, Welcome to the Guide.

      Although you may not be too concerned about sound escaping out of the room, but you should still address the quality of sound sustained inside the room. Insulating a concrete wall is not a bad thing (to cut down on echos and high feq. bouncing all over the place).

      Your # 1 and #4 maybe items you could save on but the rest I'd do for sure.
