French Doors

We have moved to a house and I was looking forward to setting up my system in a dedicated room. This room is 13 X 12 but does not have a door. Instead, it has a Rough Opening (a term I learned at Home Depot) of (H) 94" X (W) 65". I was told that this is not the standard French Door size. I am looking for any advise that you guys can offer to get this room sealed.

I want to get this done ASAP, as I will not set up my system in a room that is open to kids and visitors.

If it already hasn't been mentioned, check the demo and let know you have a concern for rattles too.

On an inside wall, packing 6" of insulation in a 2" by 4" stud wall makes a good difference too. Double the 1/2" or 5/8" sheetrock helps a lot. The wall has a thud type of sound (knocking on it), instead of that hollow sound. It's not the best, but works wonders vs. standard, and fairly cheap. They have a sheetrock that is made for this (sound dampening), but I can't remember the name or never heard it work. It might be QuietRock. [http://www.quietrock.com/drywall.html]
