I am constructing a stage for my home theater. The plan I am following suggests placing sand in the cavities of the base that supports the stage floor (2x4 lumber on edge; 40" x 15 ft; divided into 16"x40" sections) for sound damping. Is this overkill? Would insulation work. This would require approx 1800 pounds of sand! Any suggestions??

Yes, sand is best, if you can make it happen. However, realistically for several reasons somebody may not be able to use sand. For example, my theater is on the 2nd floor above the garage, and with all the weight I've already added to it, the weight of sand in my stage and/or riser just wasn't realistic. So the next best option is insulation stuffing, which is what I did.

Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

All,
We are planning to update our basement. Part of that update will be to construct a HT room in the corner of the basement. :T Below are some facts about the planned room and also what I plan to do in creating the room. We plan to begin within a month or two.

I'll hold on to the name that I'm going to use for my theater until it's complete.
I'm posting some pictures and info about my theater construction at the request of others here on the Guide. I thought someone might be interested to see this stuff. If you'd like to hear more, I'm showing... -
