Hey Yeah Man ~!@#

Thanx goes out to 'notbradsohner' for the great tip on 703!

It apprears you guys really like this stuff :)

Do you guys use it for inner room reflection and absorption on the walls?

That's what I'd like to do .... :cool:

AND - Compared to Auralex 2" Studio Wedge Foam, ya can't beat the price! As you guys know, it seems the cheapest price on Auralex 2" is about $200 for a carton of 2'X4' panels that covers 96 Sq. Ft.

SPI has 2" 703 (unfaced) @ .58 per sq. ft. OR #6 2'X4' panels in a carton @ $27.85 = 48 Sq. Ft.

I was actually considering buying regular rolled unfaced R11 3 1/2" and just stapling it up randomly on the walls and covering it with fabric....

I suppose going with the 703 is a no-brainer - correct?

Now I'll change my plan a bit, and install the 2" 703 unfaced 2X4 panels onto my walls, (it's easier to work with than rolled R11), and just go ahead and cover the 703 panels with fabric.

I've read that here - that's what you guys like to do - correct?

Can you guys give me feedback on that?

You're right, Michael; but don't just cover all your walls and ceiling with the stuff - even tho it's better at lower frequencies than the foam for a given thickness, you can make your room so dead you won't want to work in it.

Check out this page for some ideas of whole room treatments -

Hope that helps - if not, there's a bunch more here -

Good luck... Steve
 
Also consider the Johns Manville and Roxul equivalent products which may likely be even less expensive in your area.

But remember that you are most likely going to want to cover your rigid insulation with some sort covering rather than have it sitting there exposed, which will increase the cost.
