I am closing off my HT room with an interior wall and have a couple of questions.
1. The new interior wall is 20 Ft. Should I add any insulation inside the wall? I live alone so am not concerned with sound leaking. Is there any acoustical advantage to putting some in there?
Edit: I did some more searching and it seems that I do not need to insulate the wall if I don't care about keeping the sound in.
2. From what I have read here the front wall should be completely treated. Is there an inexpensive way to do this? The room will be 11 ft. wide when the wall is finished. I would rather not glue anything to the wall if I don't have to. All corners will have bass traps, the back wall will have probably two 6" bass traps, and I will have two 2" panels on each wall and ceiling for first reflection. Treating the whole front wall with panels would add a significant expense.
Thanks
