Owens Corning 703 Panels
Just wanted to share some photos of the panels I just built with Owens Corning 703. $100 total for 6 panels from ReadyAcoustic with shipping. Then a trip to home depot for some cheap breathable canvas and backboard. I grabbed some picture hanger hooks and put two on the back of each panel. Then, all I needed was two nails to hold it up. It came out to about $21.50 for each panel total.
Honestly, this was more of an expensive experiment for me than an expertly engineered plan. I didn't know what to expect, but after hanging even one panel across from my guitar amp in my band's practice space, I could hear an immediate difference. The tone sounds amazing without the reflection from the other side of the room. If you are looking to DIY treat a room, this is the way to go.
Had to throw in the space picture at the end there.

Hahah the only reason I posted this was to receive compliments on my space...yessssssssssss
No, thank you and the xmas lights don't look as good in reality as they do through a camera lense.
I am thinking about hanging panels from the ceiling (clouds), it is currently a hard tile ceiling with no insulation.
But overall, I am extremely impressed with the Owens Corning stuff. I've honestly added 1000% to my knowledge and understanding of sound and space in the past few months with this stuff. It's like a drug or something, opened my mind. I recommend it to anyone and no, I do not work for the company haha.

I was getting some elctrical work done in my basement studio and I asked the electrician to put an outlet up where the ceiling meets the wall. When asked what it was for, I suddenly felt really weird as a grown ass man asking for an outlet for some trippy x-mas lights. Oh well you guys understand.
