Finally treated my room!

[AdamWathan]

Mandatory pics follow. Sounds great in here and the traps were easy as hell to build and turned out looking half decent considering how dirt cheap and simple everything was. Used these plans...

Pics!

Total of 8 4" panels and 8 2" panels and stuffed the corners of the closets with Roxul Safe N Sound for some additional bass trapping.

looks great! how does it sound??

 

[MetalJonesy]

good job adam!

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, looks great dude - perhaps a bit dreary, but I'm sure all that absorption will really help in a small room with the amount of sound a drumset puts out! Is that Roxul stuff rockwool, or rigid fiberglass? (I'm guessing rockwool)

Rockwool yeah, it's not rigid at all but performs as well as OC703... Lots of guys here in Canada make superchunks out of it and Ethan and Glenn on the GS acoustics forum talk about using it just in the bags and stacking it in corners all the time. It's cheap so I figured what the hell, since the corners are closets there's not much better I could do anyways!

Also, Hercules Hooks are awesome, Billy Mays FTMFW.

Looks nice an cozy

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

Did you notice a big improvement? Oh and you don't have those perforated on the wall do you? I know there's a way it's prolly what you mentioned (Hercules Hooks). Looks good man

 

[Metaltastic]

What are Hercules Hooks? And what'd you use for the panels?

 

[Chryst Krispies]

What are Hercules Hooks?

My left and right arms....

Hhahah


They're these silly little metal hooks that you can use to hang shit off the wall, they are really strong and they are tiny. Billy Mays yells about them in an infomercial.

 

[Metaltastic]

Oh god, not the Oxi clean guy

 

[MetalJonesy]

haha is that dude deaf or summat?

 

[AdamWathan]

I used Ottawa Fiber OFI-48 and the plans I linked to in the first post. I just hung them straight on the hooks, no wire or anything except the corner and ceiling traps, spent about $400 and 8 hours total building and hanging all 16 traps.

Hey Adam, looks good. Next move that desk out at least a couple feet and get the speakers on stands.

 

[Pot]

what´s on the other side of the room? 2 doors? 1 closets and door?
i wonder if it isn´t better to position your desk on that opposite side, but not straight flushed to the wall/doors/closet whatever it is there

well, i know what im doing this weekend!

is there any specific density for the insulation used? and what are the specifics for the bass traps? are they just filled with the same insulation?

 

[dan weapon]

looks cool man!

Check the plans I linked to in the first thread. OFI-48 and OC703 are both rigid fibreglass panels with a density of 3lbs/cu ft. The 4" ones are bass traps and the 2" ones are just high/mid frequency absorbers by nature of the thickness alone, no other difference.

I wonder if I could benefit my household by building a giant one of these to go on the door lol

 

[SentencedToBurn]

dont know if its just your camera's flash but.... now you need some kick ass lighting in there to make it really feel warm and comfortable.
