Concrete! For a tiny 2" air gap, you will need a LOT of mass on both leaves. The only way to get that kind of mass at a reasonable cost, is concrete. But you can't float concrete on 2x2's!

If you read the thread I linked you to, you will find out how to decide if you need to float your floor at all, and also how to do it right if you do decide that you need to float it.

..........at the other topics u have said to put laminating floor so should i do that?do i need carpet on that?

Hey John. The design you offer on the Booth.skp file, my computer does not open it. Can you tell me what program opens a .skp file.

.skp files are SketchUp 3D models. You can download SketchUp for free from Google.
