ok, I've been thinking about making some of those mineral wool panels for awhile now. does anyone know what would be the acoustic difference in using 4" thick and 2" thick panels? would the thicker panels trap more bass or be better for sound isolation? i was planning to treat the walls around my monitors, make some bass traps, and maybe make a makeshift vocal booth.
oh and is 8# pcf = 8 lbs. per cubic feet? if that is correct, a 2" x 2' x 4' panel would be about 1.34 lbs. and a 4" x 2' x 4' panel would be about 2.67 lbs. i can't put a bunch of screws in the wall here. any ideas on what I could use "cheaply" to hang the panels without causing damage? i wonder if a couple of those plastic head thumb tacks, per panel, would work.
how much was the shipping cost through SPI? i took a look at the panels at insulation world. they are only $29 for a pack of 6 panels, 2' x 4' which come in 2", 3", or 4" thick but the shipping cost for one pack is $60! that's not very cost effective for me.
