Hello everybody ... this is my first post. You might be hearing a lot from me over the next week because i'm about to put together some panels, and i'm NOT very good carpenter. Anyway, I have 2 initial questions...
1. ASIDE from cost & space, do 2" panels have ANY advantage over 4"? I record mostly urban music (a lot of sub bass), and i was thinking of making 4" panels for my early reflections points in addition to the corner bass panels. I have enough space for this, and i was even considering having an inch or 2 of airspace also. I'll be using 8# rock wool if that makes any difference. So is there any downside to this plan?
2. When it comes to framing, i saw some designs where the frame is mounted behind the insulation rather that around it, leaving the edges of the sheet exposed for more absorption. Is that a common way to frame or is there a downside?
Thanks!!
