Jason,

I had a riser built in my theater also. It's not as high as yours (only one step instead of 2), but it is plenty high to get an unobstructed view of the screen from the back row.

I'm glad you mentioned you will be stuffing it with insulation. The guy who did mine did not stuff it and it really did create a resonance chamber in the room. Make sure you get the most dense material you can and really pack it in there. Since it is for sound absorption, and not for insulating heat, pack it really dense.

The bass response will definitely change once the construction is complete. Since I know you have the BFD, and have been using REW, it will be very interesting to see a plot before and after (before you re-equalize). Please post the results when you are done, I'd love to see the impact.
