need hinge advice for hanging a solid core door
So today I picked up a solid core interior door to close off the compressor room on the man cave I'm building . I chose a solid core door because I think the mass will help keep the sound in the compressor room . Anyway the door is 32 x 80 and is just a slab so I have to come up with hinges to hang it . Being solid core she be heavy !!! My door jambs are 2 x 6 with 1/2 " plywood screwed on the inside and out so I doubt they will flex much
The opening is 32 1/4 wide and the door is 32 so I have a little bit of room for thick hinges . My initial thought is a heavy duty piano hinge I think that would spread the load the best . But I can also do 3 or 4 heavy duty conventional hinges also but I am not planning on recessing the hinges into the door edge I want to surface mount . I have not installed any stops yet those will be done after the door is hung . So Pelican door experts  what hinge or hinges would you recommend ?
