and that was how the rockwool left me feeling...

it took around 35mins to "staple" each of the panel together. and it was a mess thereafter. had to vacuum up all the leftovers.

best recommended to be done in an airy place as the rockwool will cause some particles to be released into the air when compressed.

luckily for me, it was not too difficult squeezing the 2' x 4' rockwool panels into a slightly smaller frame.

the results when listening to just 2 panels are simply stunning... it really is the icing on the cake. i never knew bass had so much depth and layer. it is really worth the itch.

will see if i can mount these panels on the ceiling... was supposed to have one directly above the speakers and one directly above the sofa.

“Variety's the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavor” - quote from William Cowper. I think this best describes my audio adventures... before my Moskido is even half complete, I embarked on doing up 5 bass traps that I hope would help better my room acoustics. Someone posted this youtube video on echoloft... I also checked out basstraps.net and Ready Acoustics. Ready Acoustics gave me inspiration to make my bass traps.

Basically, the bass traps are 3/4" mdf, exterior dimensions are 4" x 24" x 48". I wanted to do a 6" version, but was concerned about the lack of space to position my speakers... ;)

The traps are held together by two 1 and 3/4" self tapping screws at each end. I had to pilot all the places for the screws and also do a slight counter sinking in order for them to be flush mounted.

But since this is last minute, cos my wife's flight was delayed by a day and I had already taken leave from office, I bought the Rockwool for this project and realized that I had to arrange transport for it. Hope it will arrive in due time.

I was at Spotlight earlier on looking for suitable fabric for the traps. This seem to be the more expensive part of the project... even rockwool is not so expensive! The fabric that I saw are SGD7 odd per meter... I need 10m...
