I'm ready to build my pannels based on everything I've read here at AVS but I thought I'd share my plans before I bought everything. I'm looking for any input I can get.
Room is 19x19 and is a converted garage.I have an open doorway to the room on a sidewall and a small closet in the rear corner that surrounds the hot water heater. Other than that the room is square. Ceilings are 8 ft with sheetrock walls. Floor is tile with a 8'x11' area rug. There is one 72"x48" window on the rear wall with velvet black out curtains.Room is a home theater room currently with 5.1 surround.
Materials:
1.24 pieces Rockwool 60 48x24x2(same as O.C 705 only cheaper)
2.5 Sheets of 3/4" MDF(will rip into 4" boards for the frames)
3.Black muslin fabric
4.Screws,nuts ,bolts,staples,glue,hanging wire,etc.etc
In 3 of the corners I'll build bass traps. They'll be 8 ft tall and each will have 4 pieces of Rockwool 60. I'll double up and make them 4" thick. The hot water heater closet is in the way of making a fouth bass trap for that corner.
That leaves me enough Rockwool 60 to build 12 2" thick panels. I'll build them 8' x 2'. Only the bottom halves will have rockwool in them. The tops will be blanks with nothing in them. The whole thing will be covered in muslin.
I think I'll put 4 panels on the front screen wall. 3 on each side walls at the reflective points and 2 on the back wall. Or maybe just 2 on each side wall and 2 for the ceiling. Each wall panel will be spaced 4" from the wall.
Well thats my plan. I think it will cost just under $500 for the whole thing. I'm open to any suggestions or feedback. This forum is awesome!!. Thanks.
