Hello all,

I've searched around on the site but there is still very little info on building your own reverb chamber.

I have a spare basement of about 150m³ (+/-5300cubic feet). L-shaped, brick (painted) walls, a brick floor with a faint V-shape, plastered brick ceiling which is divided in several arcs.

I'm planning on putting a powered speaker in there with (for now) 2 Behringer ECM8000's but what I have no idea about is how much SPL should I be generating to get a useable reverb out of that room?

(there is a semi-used living room on top of that basement and it is just brick ceiling, wood beams and wood floor on top - that won't stop a lot of dBs)
