Man, as soon as I heard rockwool, i started laughing because i knew it was coming. Glad you made this video. My builder wanted to much to build a riser. So i am doing it afterwards
On avs most of the pro builds seem to use rubber mat with a layer of osb on the floor and the riser is them placed on that. That method is meant to stop noise transfer through the concrete. Interested on your opinion on this method as I have a new build starting end of the year in an external garage with a concrete floor
You could have used roofing felt paper 30lb. to isolate the riser joists from the concrete. Cut strips ~2" wide and staple / glue them to the bottom of the 2x6 or 2x8 used for the floor joists. ;)
That's one of those poor methods that caught on and has hung around. Felt does not isolate as you have to decouple to isolate. I mean really how can a thin layer of felt paper actually stop energy. It simply doesn't. Yet many are led to believe it does. There's zero reason to isolate as we don't have large subs sitting on the riser to transfer energy into the riser. If we wanted to isolate it wouldnt be using felt but methods that work. When we do have subs on a platform we stop the energy before it gets into the platform..
Love your information bro!! Very informative…. how could someone get into building home theaters? Been sanding hardwood floors for 20 years now, body doesn’t want to do anymore but I’d like to do something I love. Any advice please and thank you.
Looking great. I do have a question about the riser and the sound dampening (insulation) directly on your slab. Is there a concern for you to not have a vapor barrier between your concrete floor and the insulation to keep moisture from leaching into the material?
Thanks. And no the slab has a vapor barrier under it no moisture wicks into the house. This is nothing like a basement where you're under the water table.
I'm confused as to why the insulation in the riser portion of the theater. Noise transfer through the concrete doesn't compute for me. Transfer to where?
That's how risers are built. Insulation is installed so they don't resonate. As for concrete, I'm not sure what your question is but it's a poor conductor of sound hence why block and concrete are used in schools for classrooms.

Hey Steve, builds coming on well…can’t wait to see the end results 👍🏼😘
Thanks Darren! I can't wait either.

Yes lad! Now the fun begins 🤟😎👍

looks awesome
Looking amazing Steven 🔥👌
would love to hear more about how to make a riser into a bass trap.

It’s coming together fast now! Where’d you pick up the thick tongue and groove board for so cheap? 3/4” T&G OSB is going for $80+ around me.
Looking good brother. Do you mainly sell/install Triad speakers for you clients HT projects?
Thanks and yes.

Awesome Steve. what are the dimensions of the theater room?
Thanks. 16.5 wide x 23.5 deep x 12' tall.
