Will this work with double-thick drywall (for soundproofing)?

Yes, it will still fit within the wall as your studs are more than likely providing the same interior clearance as a standard wall. The clips you tighten to secure the box to the wall are going to be your only issue, and that will depend on how thick the drywall is. Worst case scenario, you can go to a hardware store and purchase longer screws, then you may just need to notch the inside of the drywall to provide clearance for the electric box.One thing to keep in mind, as the port for the cables stays open, this will negate much of the soundproofing benefit you are getting from the doubled-up drywall.

no, you will have to find some other way to mount it. The tabs provided are for half inch drywall.

It will help. You'd need some serious insulation to block all noise. I'd call this a noise reducer.. You would need a LOT of this to block all noise, not to mention it would have to cover every wall.

Sure will. Don't worry about the material, as much as the depth. In fact, one of mine is installed in HardiePlank wall as an exterior outlet. Where I made a mistake was this model is made for the thickness of Brick, not a Wallboard. Luckily, with the combined thickness of the HardiePlank, Plywood, and the 3-1/2" wall space, it cleared by about 1/2".

That is not a problem. These speakers are made to work in 2x4 stud walls which are standard.

Yes. MLV is used many times on walls/ceiling/floors to block sound transfer. Your results will vary depending on many factors including covering the entire surface, eliminating flanking paths (through the ceiling and floor) etc.

It should, as long as there isn't any metal in the walls, like rebar. I can't try it, but I have a radio/radar background, and plain cement block doesn't interfere. In our house we have a set between the bedroom at one end and the kitchen at the other end, 50 feet away through several walls, and it works fine.

It will work in dry wall. I still would try to get at least 1 screw into a stud just for added safety.

It works very well to seal out drafts but I don't think it would function as a soundproofer

Never thought of using one of these to sound proof a room, guess it could work. We used spray foam insullation

My husband used bigger screws than what it came with and made sure they went into the studs not just the drywall. In that case I'd say yes.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it because these are heavy duty. I install 15 inch speakers that weigh 50lbs each. I had to find the stud. Drywall by itself might not be able to hold the weight of the speakers.

Depends on how you mount it or attach it to the wall, I would think. Google sound dampening for walls, but this stuff might help. I did not use it for that purpose. Good Luck! R.

Depends on the width of your wall. You would need to check the depth of the unit and room you have between your wall boards.

Yes! Should fit well, edges allow drywall to be overlapped. The raised edge will give a finished appearNce.

I've not tried it, but assume if attached securely to studs behind drywall it would work.

The "ears" on the box are adjustable, so it should. My floor thickness is roughly the same. A template is provided to cut a rectangular hole.

I wouldn't use this for that. It is only a minor sound dampener. It is best for filling between more effective material and is a better vibration dampener than sound shield. I'm confident there are better options for a house.
