Hello all... I'm finishing my basement room (about 22x10x7, concrete floor, drywall and insulation over block walls). The ceiling is exposed rafters, about 7' at the bottom. There's a lot of romex and a ton of electrical boxes due to all the circuits I put in for different equipment and lighting. I'd LIKE to keep them accessible. Questions: Will 6" or so inches of fluffy insulation between the rafters be enough to make a passable bass trap? Can I put the insulation above the boxes, closer the the floor above? Or, should it be closer to the bottom? Or does it matter? After everything's in, I wanted to us a sprayer to paint the entire ceiling flat black...but exposed kraft paper is a code violation, and I obviously can't paint unfaced insulation. Suggestions? I understand I could put FSK over the insulation and paint that, but I don't know where to get it, or if it's a passable option, acoustically. Other suggestions for dealing with this issue (that don't cost a fortune)? Many thanx in advance!!
