RE: setting up a listening room

Hi Chris,

> currently i have several boxes in this basement room. they are filled with all sorts of things <

Don't expect too much benefit from random "things" in the room.

> do i need acoustical treatment? <

Yes. :->)

> if so, how much? <

As much as you can manage, at least for bass trapping.

> if so, do i need acoustical treatment inside of the dropped ceiling? <

Yes, that's a great place to hide treatment.

> 2) can i have a room with a decently flat response while still leaving all my junk in the room? <

Yes, but it depends on how you define "decently flat." In truth, if you can get the bass response to within a 10 dB window, and all ringing below 300 Hz to less than 200 milliseconds, you're doing really well.

> if i've left anything out, just ask. <
