imagine the entire room filled with water.
then make it so the room has no leaks, at all. Not a drip. (which is a small part of the fix-it recipe, but we use it here for being a decent illustration of the problem. In the ordinary cases, the room is exceptionally leaky, and acting almost sealed --both at the same time)
Then imagine that the top of this box shaped cistern...has a steel plate on the top of it...and then you start hitting the plate with a 10 lb rubber sledge.
Hitting the plate with the rubber sledge, is likened to the bass in the room.
You have to isolate the neighbors, from that. Even though their very leaky cisterns share walls with your cistern, on all six sides.
Not only that, but make the bass sound good -inside of that cistern.
This is what you are up against, as problems go.
One half of the process is the making of a floating and isolated sealed cistern inside the leaky box.
The other half is fixing the bass in the now isolated box. Usually the entire room has to be rebuilt, in a near to actual tear-down and rebuild, done the right way. The floor, the works.
