RE: Unfinished basement ceiling ideas please

David,
Thanks for responding. I am in fact trying to kill two birds with one stone. I do want to reduce the amount of sound reaching the upper floor, but I'm more interested in taming the upper-mids and am interested in increasing the amount and range of the bottom end. I have a concrete floor with an area rug and shipping blankets hung from the walls to kill the reflection coming from the mylar foil covered rather thin fiberglass insulation. I have an egg crate foam mattress pad in a pine frame on the back wall, behind two padded swivel chairs and the front end components. The other (right side) of the area are three open shelved racks with crap on them. The speakers are Maggie 1.6qr's, which are about 2/3rd's the way back in the area, that I have commandeered (sp?). Behind the speakers, about three feet behind, is/are various heights of stacked boxes and other crap, which go back about another 8-10 feet. Insulation of the ceiling half way back to the chairs sounds like a good place to start. Bass traps is/are something that I do need to construct, but that will have to wait a bit until the weather gets a little better. The area is not as small as you think and once again, I need to get my tape measure out and get some measurements for those who are interested in assisting me with this. Thanks again David, I really do appreciate it.
