Hi,

I have just purchased some in-wall speakers (and enclosures for them) for use in my home theater room in my basement.

I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether I should use resilient channel between the drywall and the studs in the wall that these speakers are going to be mounted in.

The wall is a 2×4 frost wall in my basement and behind that wall is a couple inch gap, followed by the concrete foundation wall.

I am torn between screwing and gluing the drywall to keep the vibrations in the drywall down to a minimum, or using resilient channel to absorb the vibrations. I don’t know which is the best way to go for sound quality in my home theater room, as well as hopefully keeping the transfer of noise from that room to the rest of the house down to a minimum. I’m especially concerned about the noise transfer because of the air space behind the 2×4 wall that goes all the way around the outside of my basement.

I’m not that worried about it being really sound proof, but if I can minimize the noise outside the room and keep the room itself sounding decent that would be great.

Any opinions?

Thanks,

Brad
