Thanks for all the comments--very helpful! I've been corresponding with realtraps and auralex, but it's kind of a slow process as it takes a while for them to get back to you when you ask a question.

Woof! Yeah, I totally lucked out. I have a ton of photography work on my website featuring the Mrs. She used to be a model/actress, so none of that "Put the camera down! I don't like having my photos taken" stuff to deal with. I had ex's like that and it was no fun at all.

Ok not to sound like a perv Cool

but what is your website?

Found it!!!!!!!!

You are one talented guy with that camera. Very Happy

The Doll pictures cracked me up.

BTW the java does not seem to be working so I could only view them is small formant, but from what I could see there really kick butt. Would hang any of them on my wall. Very Happy

Thank you.

What browser are you using? I know my site works in Firefox and Internet Explorer at the very least. Are you using a more obscure browser? Or maybe you have your javascript turned off in the options?

I am using Internet Explorer, but I will check the javascript to make sure it is turned on.

As a compromise to full on DIY, there was at one point a product called Ready Bags. These were nicely made bags ready to fill with your own 703, rock wool, etc. Then your choice of mounting and installation.

I checked them out: http://www.readyacoustics.com/

Seems like a good compromise, like you said. I do have the basic tools at home (which guy doesn't?) like hammer, saw, nails..etc, but nothing like a workbench and a wall full of power tools.

I was just going through the articles and videos on realtraps, and I'm wondering why it's important to make the room sound flat everywhere, when for some people it's only necessary to have it flat at the listening position where they do all the work (mixing, mastering)? Any thoughts?

Room modes, peaks, and nulls that you may hear in the listening position are products of the entire room. Since standing waves can essentially be bouncing across 6 different surfaces (walls) it makes sense to treat each.

I have a standing wave in my room, which I keep for amusement, bouncing waves didn't create that did it?

as dnafl2 points out, to get the flat response at the listening position, you typically have treat the entire room because the modes and reflections will come from different parts of the room... modes typically strongest in corners and mid-dimensions of the room. reflections from the front, side, ceiling, and back need to be balanced to give your proper imaging and avoiding frequency shifting effects (comb filtering, etc).

Is it possible to use two fiberglass/rockwool/whatever of lesser thickness to make one thicker panel? For example, a particular place only sell them at 2", but I want to have 6" for maximum bass absorption. Can I just stack 3 2" panels into a 6"?

you sure can. Very Happy

Just make sure you pull off any facing. You can leave the facing on the board that is the outter piece (facing the room), which will act as a limp membrane. DO NOT, use the facing for any kind of early reflection panels though.
