I did the Vicoustic Treatments in 2 stages with absorption and 3d Diffusion then 2D diffusion later. Biggest difference was probably from the first stage but even noticed big difference with the 2Ds. Hard to say. Thanks for the comments.

I wonder if using ownes corning is a good idea in areas like this where theres lots of moving air (next to the subs). Maybe denim ultratouch or cellulose would be safer to avoid fiberglass in the air that you might breath in.

Great video, what would you say is most cost effective sound panel material is inner and outer, my wife sits in next room so trying to minimise the sound leaks through the door etc. happy wife happy life :)

Overall absorption percentage was about 14.8% and diffusion was closer to 16.7%. That is a percentage of the overall surface area of the walls and ceiling.

The room I'm working with is a similar size with a similar vaulted ceiling etc although I prefer big screens (beyond the recommended ratios) so I'm planning on dropping the screen down lower than this so I can squeeze in a wide scope & I'll rig up motorised masking to the sides to mask down to 16:9.
