hey man, i just went through this, and while i'm happy with how my results turned out, i cant recommend enough that you just buy somebody else's (rivera, grendel, whatever) solution. a buddy of mine and i ended up with a 2'x'2'x4' plywood (in hindsight, i'd recommend MDF) box, lined with auralex sheetblock, then padded on the bottom with 4" of 703, and a variety of different fiberglass panels, foam and insulation all the way around, encompassing an avatar 1x12" speaker cab. then tiled the outside of the box with slate, put it on 4 rubber feet, which were then put on a 4x2 block of insul foam, which was then put on fiberglass risers (trying to decouple from the floor). it sounds absolutely amazing, but you still get bass leakage. and the thing is absolutely massive. it's become a piece of furniture. i'm not sure if the price vs. hassle/effectiveness is terribly worth it.

my 2 cents.
