 hey there jmprader, i'm interested in DIYing some panels. I have a question about your panels, didn't you cover the back side of your panels? wouldn't the fiberglass fly around? if say, disturbed by subwoofer waves?  |
No noticeable problem with either the panels or cotton corner traps...but I am considering stapling sheer fabric on "one of these weekends" just because I don't like the idea of breathing little bits of fiberglass or cotton and the exposed cotton in the corner traps seems to collect dust quite readily...I just have to get around to it
.
My 703 panel are mounted with just a little clearance at the backs. We haven't noticed any residual 703 anywhere in the vicinity.The corner traps are a couple inches out from each front corner. When we move them to vaccuum, a little bit of blue cotton material shows up...if we brush them against the red velvet drapes behind, that's a few more minutes of unnecessary maintenance.
The bass waves don't make a difference. Now, if an HVAC duct were nearby, that would be a problem and require fabric on the exposed sides.
Short answer: I'd recommend fabric on all exposed surfaces, cotton or 703. Use cheap stuff on out of sight surfaces.
