Soundproof french doors on horizon. Ordered glass today...... This should be interesting. I cant wait till down the road when I say "they only work when they're closed." Will improve backer boxes and post up new graphs in the next couple days.

Isn't soundproof glass doors just more glass over the existing glass? May as well go bulletproof if you're going all out.

Had to youtube it to get the reference. I knew him as Inspector Gadget. Cone of silence looks like huge glass boobs. Picked up material to make the french double doors. Will put backer boxes in tomorrow and get to ripping all the MDF pieces down. Handling a 3/4" sheet on my own on and off the truck was no picnic. The glass is soggy too. Its basically going to be more of a hinged wall with a window than a door. Will frame the doors like a staggered stud wall with ripped 3/4" plywood. Then make a rough opening for the assembled window casement to go in. Then sandwich it all together with a sheet of 3/4" MDF on either side. The glass, 2 panes of 1/4" laminated, will be seperated by 2". Inside the window gap will be vents around the frame open to an area of insulation. This will be faced with dark brown fabric and hidden. Once insulated the estimated weight will be 150lbs per door. Total cost so far is 400$. Not too bad. Lost? Dont worry, there'll be pics.

The boxes have been altered and reinstalled. I am happy with the result. They now have no insulation behind them and there is a 1/2" air gap between them and the subfloor above. Talk bout cuttin er close, eh? I only ended up using one bag of thin insulation. It went into each box on the bottom face. Same hyper accurate test was performed of knocking on back panel. I noticed now the peak dropped to around 80hz. This is centered on where these babies will be crossed over. There is also a reduction in lower frequency floor coupling. Good to go! Finally got the program to save pics to memory. Gluing up Reinforced boxes Resulting noise after alteration.

Thats a big 10-4. Pics add "dont suck" to otherwise mundane topics. VERY glad to have you on board for this whole fiasco I call an HT build. All others welcome aboard!
