Hi guys. Thanks for the help.

I don't have an other space to use. M floors are pretty strong though. Remember I don't need it to be super soundproof just enough so It doesn't leak out of the apartment. I don't mind it leaking into m control room a bit.

I have already built a temporary guitar booth made out of mdf and some rubber and foam for insulation and it's very heavy and my floor is holding fine. Also it soundproofs it enough. With the amp turned up to 7 I cannot hear what's coming out of it when my monitors are on for playback. I can't hear it in the hallway of my building or any other room in my apartment. So I would say building one out of plasterboard, 4 beams and some mineral wool, Acoustic sticky membrane and a few resilient bars is going to be lighter than the current box I am using.

I just need help with design as regards to the actuall structure. I know it can work. Like I said I alread built a smaller version. I just want this one to be better and tall enough for a person.
