So, after finally getting of the roommate who had a boatload of "stuff" in my garage, and finally being fit enough (spranged my foot in late Dec.) to finish cleaning up and rearranging the garage, I've gotten to the point where I can actually sit down and listen to my speakers.
Of course, I'd like to arrange this room to the best advantage with the EXTREME limitations I have. To that end, I thought I'd solicit some opinions on the room layout, placement of the sheets of 2" fiber glass that I have, etc.. Please note, I can't remove any more "stuff" from the garage, I can only rearrange the layout.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are some pictures of the room as is:
From the speakers looking back to the listener. The item on the left is a wine fridge, the items on the right are a desk with a rip saw
Admin edit: I removed this first picture becuase the license plate number was readable on the car
Right speaker from about the seating position:
Left speaker from about the seating position
Pictures from outside the garage into the garage
Some of the dimensions are as follows:
From seat to speaker ~82"
From tweeter to tweeter ~64"
From tweeter to wall ~19"
From tweeter to back wall (behind listener) ~119"
From floor to tweeter ~45"
From back of speaker to OC703 ~15"
From ceiling to tweeter ~45"
From seat to back wall ~50"
My plans for the fiberglass sheets were to put:
- 1 on each side wall at first reflection point
- 1 on the ceiling at first reflection point
- 1 behind each speaker
That leaves me with two more sheets to play with.
I will also be getting an area rug for the concrete floor (soon).
At some point, I will be covering the walls and ceiling with fabric
At some point, I will be walling off that back area and installing an IB
At some point, I will put in some CD racks above the wine fridge
One other thing, the wall on the right is 1/2" plywood that has a gap of about 10" between it and the concrete wall it's convering. You can see an exposed section that they didn't cover with plywood (for some reason) in the following picture:
Can this be used as a bass trap somehow?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
