that should be fine. i'd put a .75cm rubber mat on the bottom and on either side to keep it from moving. if the speaker has feet, maybe creating recesses for the feet in the bottom will work.

excellent! yeah, as things get quieter and quieter suddenly you find other places which transfer the sound or make noises - framing, shared concrete pads, ducts, electrical wiring strung tightly between isolated walls, conduits, hvac noises, etc. but on the plus side, once you're below 50-55db, your...

the speaker and box - my recommendation is a slightly snug fit to prevent movement.

the speaker and box - my recommendation is a slightly snug fit to prevent movement.

the clearance if you're going to decouple in the box will depend on the decoupler thickness etc. if the box will be decoupled, then make the box snug w/ some light rubber to keep it firmly in place yet still accessible. the hangers? use some plywood or OSB, with insulation, leave about 1-2" air...

i'd just double up the 3/4" MDF, one box inside another and yes glue it and brads etc. use sorbthane or equiv to decouple the speaker from the box, or decouple the box from the soffit assembly. one option to ensure proper loading is to use adjustable ties to set the pressure on the pads so you ...

rear ported speakers are a challenge as part of the tuning of the port is part of the overall manufacturer speaker response. and plugging the port can significantly changes things including the response, power levels, heat trapping, etc. one common option is to remove the electronics from the speake...

using exterior grade products which have moisture protection is advisable for the lowest parts of the framing and panels. so check for treated products which are allowed (some countries have different treatment chemicals allowed). then on the exterior, i would try to mimic the rock surface where pos...

you could use the light stuff. i'd pack it a bit to ensure even pressure on the panel to damp it.

the solid one will have less absorptive qualities at higher frequencies.

it will provide scattering and if the space behind the slats is absorptive, will provide some absorption as well.

nice! one thing i do for these installs w/ pipes - i run them on a long board w/ outlets and set the supports for the hanging bar about 4-6ft . this way lights etc can be plugged in and the board distributes the weight along the pipe so if you have larger lighting units or large light boxes etc. i o...

yes

the last drawing will work.

they make fiberoptic snakes you can use with your smartphone so you can drill a small hole and peek around. the one i have has a built-in light and is 10m long... and of course you can take snapshots etc.
