Velvet Elvis 2, 27 February 2006John or Steve, I've been reading through lots of threads on various subjects and think that I have a fair understanding of issues I am trying to work around. That being…
knightfly, 6 March 2006Jim; first off, this weekend went NOTHING as I'd hoped; I ended up having to cover last-minute absence, so worked two extra 12-hour shifts (yuchhhh...) so got NOTHING…
Velvet Elvis 2, 6 March 2006Steve, No problem... thanks for getting back to me! I know all to well how it is when things don't go according to plan (work related!) I may have already made some…
knightfly, 6 March 2006When I was referring to Tapcons, I was referring to anchoring the inner walls to the floor, not to the outer walls, which is what I did. That's fine, you're not floating…
Velvet Elvis 2, 7 March 2006Steve, Thanks again!! By continuous ceiling, you mean drywall covering the entire ceiling of all rooms right? I don't have that. Each room will have its own ceiling, but…
Velvet Elvis 2, 7 March 2006Steve, Yes... I move the one corner of the CR out 1.5 ft and I will be balancing out the soffits etc... the room will still be symmetrical. Did moving my wall by 1 ft…
knightfly, 7 March 2006CR angles should be fine; until you reach a point where you're splaying the side walls (and ceiling) enough to create a RFZ with no absorption necessary, the only…
Velvet Elvis 2, 7 March 2006Steve, Ok... framing is pretty much done (carpenters are coming back for a 3RD DAY!! and I had to order another 50 8 foot 2x4s... yikes)... I do have one question though…
Velvet Elvis 2, 9 March 2006Framing inspector came by today.. No issues. Talked to him about all that I would like to do and he had no problems. He was even helpful... turns out a buddy of his is…
Velvet Elvis 2, 12 March 2006I'm going to have some more questions coming up before too long about the build, but I've got a simple one (hopefully) about the soffits... John's drawing shows 5/8…
Velvet Elvis 2, 12 March 2006Steve, Ok... I'm confused now... I was planning on following this design almost to the T... (minus the vents behind, as my speakers are passive).. But I don't see the…
knightfly, 13 March 2006That design is one of John's from the older SAE site - it's become more common knowledge since, that NOT having speaker boxes isolated from structure can cause sound to…
Velvet Elvis 2, 14 March 2006Steve, Ok... that makes more sense. In Barefoot's design, what is the back framing connected to? I would assume that if the front baffle is attached to the floor and…
knightfly, 14 March 2006I had kind of assumed that the inner frame in Barefoot's design was floated; otherwise, the speaker box would need to be resting on something like a MoPad to get much…
Velvet Elvis 2, 14 March 2006Wow Steve... seriously... you keep making this easier and easier for me :) If I use stands and MoPads, do I need weight on top of the speakers to maximize the MSM…

knightfly, 14 March 2006You can experiment with weights on top, they WILL lower the m-s-m of the assembly. And if you can set the speakers so they stick over the front of your monitor stands…
Velvet Elvis 2, 14 March 2006OK... this is starting to make sense. Would the low frequency cut-off in the equation be the same as the lowest range of the speaker? In my case I am dealing with…
knightfly, 14 March 2006Yup, 10 feet would be total baffle width (per speaker) :? Realistically, make 'em as wide as you can - just be aware that if you make 'em smaller, and the edges then…
Velvet Elvis 2, 20 March 2006Steve, I was just reading a post for another person's studio where you warned that RC on a double wall does absolutely nothing... you also said that you wouldn't hang…
knightfly, 22 March 2006What I hopefully said, was that using RC (or any resilient mounts) in a double FRAME wall was a waste of time, money and effort. The separate FRAMES are all the…
