I have plenty of room on my left and right Side Walls for 2" Linacoustic if I want (take a look at my build thread and you can see why), but I'm just wondering where the current census is with regards to this discussion of 1" vs 2" thickness.
I am leaning towards 2" because I don't have any room in on the rear walls for any type of room treatments/base trapping, because I have too many things on the back wall that will block/inhibit base trapping because of a bar, refrigerator, two doors, and shelves, but this thread is not about the rear wall.
It looks like 1/2 of you do 1" thickness for Linacoustic and 1/2" of you do 2" thick Linacoustic for side walls.
All of the expert Acoustical Solution providers on the forums say they put in 2" thick Linacoustic for side walls at their client's rooms, even though many of you ignore their advice and just install 1" Thick Linacoustic.
Of course I am only going to install the Linacoustic up to a height of 47" on the side walls (Cotton batting above that), so I am not talking about floor to ceiling Linacoustic on the side walls.
By the way, one more question: Should the Linacoustic go floor to ceiling at the first reflection points, rather than cotton batting from 47" and up at the First Reflection points?
