I understand your point, my whole thing is that I want to keep the ultra low frequencies in my basement and of course low bass in it as much as I can. Controlling bass requires mass. If you intend to control bass by using a door make sure the door is of the solid core variety. Unfortunately, doors that can really control bass effectively are pretty expensive, but a solid, thick wooden door is not a bad choice. Also make sure the door is well sealed when shut. Of course, there is the rest of the room to consider. |

I will use 3/4 inch thick wood, and yes will make sure it will be sealed, even if I have to use thick weather strip.

I apologise in advance if this sounds harsh, it's not intended to.
A solid timber door makes a very good reflector, it'll bounce those low frequencies right back at you. That'll mean nulls in certain seating positions. The best cure is bass traps to stop that reflection, most certainly in the corners, but perhaps even covering the door, particularly if the sub is firing in that direction. In simple terms cause I'm a simply guy, you're going to have a solid timber door, with a bass trap covering it. So the question is why not just leave the door open? No reflections then.
Cheers
Gary

Lol, it didn't sound harsh, the sub I'm using for HT is in the right back corner firing up to the front, at the front corner that's where the entrance is, from there it goes up the stairway and then a little stairway to the right, I want to contain the bass right at the entrance before it goes up that way.
