Some of my son's friends were looking for an idea for an enterprize. Having a relatively cheap source of 703 nearby and seeing how much others are charging for accoustic panels and foam that doesn't really work all that well i suggested that they think about selling premade fabric-covered 703 panels. But some issues have cropped up.
1. If you were buying premade panels how important is it that they have rigid edges? How much extra are rigid edges worth? What way would you go about putting rigid edges on a 703 panel?
2. 2 by 4 seems the logical size of the panel, but no matter how light the panel is it immediately gets you into oversize UPS rates. Selling two 2 by 2 panels might be in the net less expensive even though the panels themselves cost more. Is a pair of 2x2 panels give the impression of being not as worthwhile as a single 2x4 panel. Do people pay attention to shipping and net total cost?
