    The walls are loaded up with Roxul / Mineral Wool instead of fiberglass which makes a huge difference just knocking on the walls with you hand. Roxul is nasty stuff though....

    Yes it is unpleasant (rock wool, that is) -- I remember (at least I think I remember!) my parents' house & attic was insulated with that stuff; it wasn't pleasant to spend too much time in the attic.

    The room/space looks great!

    Congrats! The place looks great. Integrating a subwoofer with those 703's might prove to be a challenge due to the powerful midbass.
    Im thinking of not even messing with a smaller sub and focus on other gear.

    Congrats on the hard work, and I know how hard it is as I've done a few home renos but it is sure a great feeling when it done.

    Cheers, Roger

    Carpet is in but I have to cut a bit off the bottom of one door....suggestions?
    Im guessing a skill / circular saw with a fine blade (more teeth...)

    attach a guide to the bottom of the door for the saw edge to follow

    ^This^ I use quick clamps and a 4 ft level. I also suggest masking tape along your cut line. It can help protect from a raggedy finished cut.

    ^This and That^
    The clamps and a straight edge will definitely help an inexperienced cutter from walking all over the place. I even still use them.

    OR, you could jack out the entire basement and re-pour. But that requires a couple hours/days/weeks and a few ten-grand. I'd suggest cutting the door....
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    You can use a skillsaw with a good blade, to insure you get a clean cut please use a straigth edge and make sure it's clamped well. And of course always double check your measurements.

    Yup, taped bith sides and set up a guide with a longer level and 2 clamps. They came out reaaaaal nice. Plus, I have an extra 3/4" tall piece to re use on the last door to the basement which has almost a 1" gap due how the house was originally framed. I plan on adding this extra piece with screws and glue before painting to cut down on the noise from yelling better half and kids which transmits right to the basement.
